Team Slayer is the same game mode as Slayer, except the players are divided into teams.[1] Team Slayer is also a social and ranked matchmaking playlist in Halo 3. These playlists divide players in teams of 3-5 players and follow the rules of Team Slayer.

A game of Team Slayer on the map Boardwalk.

Overview[]

In Team Slayer, players start out with an Assault rifle or if playing Halo 2 or Halo 2 Anniversary an SMG. As of September 16, all players also start out with a Magnum as a secondary weapon. First team to get 50 kills wins. Team Slayer has been a major component in most of the Halo series; it appears in every game in the original trilogy, and also appears in Halo: Reach.

In Custom Games, there are actually ten possible teams a player can be on, divided into colors: red, blue, orange, green, brown, white, pink, gold, grey, and purple. Other rules can also dictate the win conditions (by default, first to 50 kills for one team - this can be changed, as well as other variations such as making each player on a team get a minimum number of kills for the team to win). There are multiple variations of Team Slayer.

It is exactly like Team Slayer apart from the winning team being marked out to the other team with waypoints and call-signs if both teams are drawing, then they are both marked out for each other to find, hunt down, and kill.

MLG Team Slayer/Hardcore Team Slayer[]

Players start with just a Battle rifle, and kills are earned normally, but whatever weapons or equipment can be found depends on the playlist.

Big Team Slayer[]
