Developer 343 Industries has announced that Ranked Slayer and Ranked Doubles will become permanent playlists in Halo Infinite upon the release of Match Composer later this year. This move comes after significant community feedback requesting the return of these popular ranked modes, which were previously cycled in and out of the playlist rotation.
According to the tweet, the permanence of Ranked Slayer and Ranked Doubles aligns with the broader goals of Match Composer, a new feature scheduled for release in 2024. Match Composer aims to empower players to create and share custom game modes, playlists, and challenges, offering greater control over their Halo Infinite experience.
Both Ranked Slayer and Ranked Doubles have consistently garnered strong engagement from the Halo community. Ranked Slayer provides a pure test of individual skill and weapon mastery, while Ranked Doubles emphasizes communication, teamwork, and coordinated strategies. Their permanent inclusion ensures dedicated players have a consistent competitive outlet within Halo Infinite.
While details surrounding the specific launch date and functionality of Match Composer are still under wraps, the confirmation of permanent Ranked Slayer and Ranked Doubles has already generated excitement among the competitive Halo community. This change promises to inject renewed focus and energy into the game’s ranked scene, fostering long-term competition and potentially attracting new players seeking a dedicated ranked experience.
It’s a great way to keep the Halo Infinite fanbase happy right now. However, there are many commenters on Twitter asking for ranked free-for-all as well. With Match Composer on the horizon and two beloved ranked modes receiving permanent status, another ranked free-for-all may join this list.
It’s too soon to tell now, but if enough players voice that they want a third one, 343 Industries might give in.
