Back on Tuesday, 343 released the Squad Battle playlist - an 8v8 playlist reminiscent of BTB modes from past Halo games, with Forge remakes of Valhalla, Rat's Nest, and Zanzibar/Last Resort.
Personally this playlist is the most fun I've had playing Infinite since release. The three maps are very well-made and faithful to the originals, while still implementing features for Infinite's unique sandbox and characteristics that make the maps work.
All the reactions I've seen to the playlist have been largely positive and it seems to have the quickest queue times/highest population out of all the current playlists over the past week. I sincerely hope that 343 makes this a permanent playlist, while continuing to add new maps or modes to it.
I wanted to ask what everyone's opinion was on the playlist, maps, and modes for Squad Battle! What do you love about it? Is there anything you'd want changed? Should it stay as a permanent playlist?

Forge mode has been out for Infinite for a good while now, and has proven to definitely be the best iteration of Forge yet between all the new and improved features. What would you say is your favourite community creation in it so far?
Kusini Bay - A remake/re-imagining of Zanzibar/Last Resort - This map does an incredibly faithful job of remaking one of Halo's most beloved maps while modernizing and expanding it for Infinite.
Vallaheim - A remake/re-imagining of Valhalla - Making great use of being able to place water in Forge mode, Vallaheim is a faithful remake of the beloved Halo 3 map, retaining the same palette and visuals that made Valhalla so amazing.
Uneeq's maps - A handful of different remakes from past games, including High Ground, Sanctuary, and Beaver Creek, the forger Uneeq has done an amazing job at making details remakes of some of Halo's most iconic maps.
As you can tell, I'm a sucker for map remakes - but there are a lot of great Forge creations out there, and lots of originals! Which ones are your favourites?
