Team Slayer

Team Slayer is the same game mode as Slayer, except the players are divided into teams of 4 or 3. Team Slayer is also a social and ranked matchmaking playlist in Halo 3 and plays with the same rules and variants as Team Slayer. In Team Slayer, players start out with an Assault Rifle. Frist team to get 50 kills wins. Team Slayer is from Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2 and Halo 3.

In Custom Games, there are actually eight possible teams a player can be on, divided into colors: Red, Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, White, 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).
