Anniversary Throwback

Games Halo 5: Guardians

I don’t know if this belongs here but I can’t find the MP feedback post for H5.

To instantly make the Anniversary Throwback playlist better.

  1. Turn off ALL spartan abilities.
  2. Increase base movement speed.
  3. King of the Hill, Oddball, strongholds Gametypes should be added. Not heavy weighting, but enough to offer a bit more variety.

That was debated heavily when the playlist first came out, but 343 basically said that it wasn’t meant to be a literal throwback with no abilities in the playlist.

I love playing with the modern mobility and abilities on remade throwback maps with a classic sandbox. It’s by far my favorite playlist and I’d personally love to see Halo 2 get added to it with some remade throwback maps with the Legendary Halo 2 Battle Rifle as the primary loadout precision weapon. Hell, I wish that the Halo 3 Classic Throwback playlist wouldn’t have involved classic mobility with no abilities and instead granted the modern mobility and abilities. That’s the experience I want; otherwise, I could just pop in the MCC to get more of a legitimate “classic” experience.

I think abilities should be turned on… Anniversary isn’t supposed to be a duplicate of original IMO. Should be modern with a taste of original. The anniversary throwback fits it. Kinda like how they added some new weapons and vehicles to H2A. There is Halo on Xbox one without abilities and it is in MCC.
