I thought this would have been in the game anyway, but 343i should make a classic playlist, that has no AAs, no support perks, no loadouts, no sprint and joining in progress disabled (along with everything else that isn’t in ‘classic’ Halo. As someone who likes Halo 4’s changes, I feel that people who are classic fans should also get what they want, not to mention that it’ll be good to go into a few classic gametypes myself.
343i, the first thing you did when you got hold of Reach was make classic playlists for people so that they could enjoy their core Halo gameplay without upsetting the people who liked the changes that the game made. Doing the same thing with Halo 4 would make a lot of people happy.
slayer pro is the closest thing you can get. there are loadouts, but mostly because AR starts were unfair and stupid (look up any video where someone with a precision wep is spawn killing the other team cause of their AR starts)
I think sprint is fine, shoulda been in since halo 2 (and it almost was, got cut for time) and you can pick up grenades from corpses. pretty much as close to classic as you can get
For sure. We need a Classic playlist. No AA’s or ordinances. I don’t care if you can choose your gun but perks should be disabled. I also think Sprint should stay. I’ve always wanted it in Halo. Map weapon spawns are important, too. Not just initial spawns.
The thing about Slayer Pro that I don’t like is that there’s no radar.

I don’t think that AR starts are going to be so bad now though. The AR is more powerful in Halo 4 and even if that problem still exists, there’s always the BR that players could start with. I don’t think removing sprint is impossible, as removing bloom wasn’t an option in Reach and yet 343i added in a gametype where there was no bloom on the DMR and Needle Rifle. It’s possible that they can do something like that for Halo 4. Either way it’s worth a try, and I think this is the best solution to please both sides of the Halo community.
I agree but it will drastically separate the player population which I think they’ll try to avoid if they’re smart…too many playlists is what ruined reach’s player count

I disagree. It alters map flow too much on many of the classic maps. If it was in Halo 2 maps like Lockout and Midship would play differently since you would be able to sprint across them in like two seconds.

No it isn’t, they can add classic weapon pickups instead of randomized weapon drops/spawns. Slayer Pro also does not include the motion tracker. #343 Industries also needs to disable instant respawn

They could just replace Slayer Pro with it, or some other playlist that people don’t play in that much.
