uh, we already have fiesta slayer. it's called Infinity Slayer.
People are excited about Fiesta Slayer, and I don't understand why.
Would Fiesta Slayer have ordenance weapons available as possible starts? Ie. everyone starts with a railgun, or concussion, etc. If so then I would be happy to play it so I can work on completing some of my commendations that otherwise will likely never get completed(considering I get a railgun about once every 8 games or less).
Otherwise um...yeah no thanks.

What commendations are you after? If you're after UNSC, try dominion. Longbow and Exile are the most chosen maps and they spawn nothing but UNSC weapons. Snipers, lasers, saws, shotties, and rockets galore. Sadly, railgun and stick detonator are not common in dominion. For the latter two, try infinity slayer, especially on Haven. Haven has sticky dets upon game start and the railgun is a common ordnance drop. Equip Requisition as your tactical package to get another roll for ordnance if the railgun (or weapon you're after) doesn't come up.
If you're working on Forerunner weapons, dominion is also a good choice. However, Forerunner weapons only appear on Meltdown and Vortex, which are difficult to get unless you're in a party voting for those maps as they are less popular.
I haven't really worked on Covenant weapons, so I can't really comment regarding those.

Apparently, you pick your Fiesta loadout and then more Ordnance is available on an advanced schedule. That's what I've picked from comments.
never got multiteam. It's FFA with an extra person. Too many people on the map to coordinate well.
You were doing it wrong, or at least you tried it with the wrong people.
I can see how it would seem that way but I've found that the organized chaos can actually be helpful if you go in with a team that communicates. It also depends on whether or not they set it up as 2 man teams, à la Halo 3, or 3 man teams à la Halo: Reach.
Its 4 teams instead of 8 (if you count ffa as team based) and you fight for superior weapons and locations on the map, similar to that slayer gametype.
I actually loved Binary Slayer. It was hilarious fun. I thought I'd hate it but I was *gasp* wrong! It really is fun!
Fiesta got old fast. The first game was fun. After that, I was annoyed. I'm disappointed because I liked Fiesta in previous games.
Rockets and rails was no fun. Our whole party hated it.
Our party never saw the light rifle CTF. It didn't come up once in an hour and a half? Maybe it's not in the line up yet.
Other than I think 2 games, we were only offered the new maps. That, too, got old pretty quickly. Not sure why more maps weren't offered?
Binary Slayer might be interesting on smaller maps with vanilla gravity and no (unlimited) Thruster Pack.
it was RIDICULOUS fun on Haven :) Even with current settings. Picture four or five people using TP bottom mid, trying desperately to kill each other.
Maybe it was just our bad luck last night, but inFiesta, our team continually spawned right in front of the other team. I spawned in front of someone with damage boost three times in a row. That was a large part ofmy dislike for the game type.

No, not just your bad luck. I played one game of Fiesta on Adrift and it was awful. People hiding with Camo and Incineration cannons combined with others on the team with Jetpacks and Incineration cannon.
Yeah, that got annoying...quick
That was my only Action Sack game I got to play last night though.
Oh and I believe, Fiesta, Rockets/Rails and Binary Slayer are the only 3 gametypes at launch.

Current settings are decent on big maps like Rangarok. On smaller maps, it becomes a sword game. I'm not a huge fan of this game type but hey at least they are trying?
