"A mix of Slayer and other Free For All games. Go it alone, or join as a group and throw down against each other."
— In-game description for Halo 3's social Rumble Pit playlist

Rumble Pit is a Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: Reach, Halo 4, and Halo Infinite playlist based around "free-for-all" action. It is one of the trickiest and most prestigious matchmaking playlists. It plays Slayer in many variants (though most often it's regular Slayer).

It allows up to 8 players in Halo 2, 8 players in Halo 3, and rotates through a selection of maps and gametypes, most notably the "slayer", (Including variants like swords, and shotguns) "fiesta" rules.

The Rumble Pit matchmaking playlist was ranked in Halo 2 on Xbox Live from its release (in 2004) until early 2007, and is now unranked in Halo 3. Halo 3's ranked version of Rumble Pit is called Lone Wolves.

Halo 2[edit]
