Would anyone else like to see a playlist focused on a higher competitive level? Maybe instead of always starting with the same weapons. Team BRs is added like it was in the older halos. Same thing with having some playlists excluding certain weapons such as shotty, scattershot, etc.
Just curious as to what everyone else who is an old halo player thinks. I think adding some different weapon starts will add to the success of this game. GIVE US BR STARTS! BR SHOULD NOT BE A POWER WEAPON. 
Some spawns also seem to be off, getting spawned right beside 2 enemies in Team Slayer.
With the new pistol i could care less about BR starts even though i do grab them on the map.
I just think there needs to be a playlist equaling out the flow of the game. Running BR start in a certain playlist with less weapon versatility will definitely appeal to a lot of people. Especially people who have been playing this game for a long time. BR is what halo was made of. Maybe you could make this a Hardcore type playlist if that’s what you wanna call it, but running BR start is something we wanna see.
Except the pro players are playing the exact same settings we are…

The pistol is still such a downgrade compared to what the BR is. You still have to push for a BR like its a power weapon. I’m not saying get rid of all pistol start, just add a new mode with BR start at least

Because that’s all that’s available.
With the effectiveness of the new pistol and AR BR starts aren’t necessary, tbh it feels better that switching from AR to SMG, and Pistol to BR means I can tailor how I want to engage quite effectively much more then previous Halo’s in particular 3 which was BR BR BR.

Pistol starts at least give people who can’t aim as good a chance with the AR. I don’t even know what an MLG playlist would look like in H5 other than just removing 90% of map pickups.

No because it was built from the ground up to cater to the competetive scene already.
Two reasons why this shouldn’t happen.
- Every Halos has had an MLG playlist at some point, usually they only have about 100 - 300 population at a time. This unnecessary takes up a playlist spot which could be given to other modes like infection. - The entire multiplayer is already designed for to be competitive which is the purpose of MLG

There was definitely more people than that in MLG playlists lmao. MLG was one of the most populated in H3.
And as for adding infection it just depends on what you want out of the game. You obviously focus on more causal play rather than tactic strategy.
The pistol is fine as of now. And since the BR spawns so fast after pick up, I can always get one. Plus if you’re good with the pistol you can still beat some one with a BR, unlike in old Halos.

The only people i see playing infection is players who arent really into halo. I remember in H3 people would invite me to infection games in customs and i would get bored and quit within 5 minutes.
I know the game is meant to be competitive already but in H3 in the MLG playlist you knew everyone literally everyone playing was good and knew how important map positioning was. MLG would have a different pool of players.
I believe a mlg Playlist would be amazing anything with a br start for a game type would great to see instead of pistol fights

It’s variation. I dabble in some infection from time to time when it is available. I play all modes but I’ve played Halo since CE. And I’m at least a decent player. Infection is just another different mode that is fun when you are relaxing with less skilled friends, warming up, or too tired to play serious competitive modes
