The Halo playlist with the strangest and most fun modes is back. And because of the number of Halo games in The Master Chief Collection, the list is even crazier and larger than usual.

Developer 343 outlined the large number of modes coming to each game, which all fall under the same Action Sack playlist.

Here's what you get for each game:

Halo 2 Classic

  • Gold Rush - grab your Magnum and load your shotgun for this fast-paced Territories variant
  • Blast Resort - assault the base with your bomb, but watch out - you only have one life per round
  • Team Troy - epic battles of brute force (Brute Shot)
  • Team Shotty Swords - close-quarters power weapon mayhem (shotgun & Energy Sword)
  • Team Shotty Snipes - get up close and personal, or keep your distance (shotgun & sniper rifles)

Halo 2 Anniversary

  • Gungoose CTF - Halo’s latest fan favorite finds its true home
  • Kill from the Hill - drop foes while holding the hill for extra points.
  • Quickochet - Don’t be a ball hog (Ricochet variant with short ball timer)

Halo 3

  • Dodgeball - just like high school gym class, but better.
  • Team Sumo - knock opponents out of the ring to win. One life per round
  • ShWATguns - who needs shields when you've got a shotgun?
  • Team Swords - slice n’ dice your way to victory
  • Team Hammers - grab your hammer, and crush some dreams
  • Hammer Hill - launch foes from the hill with your trusty hammer
  • Team Duals - what’s better than one gun? Two
