In the bulletin, Frankie indicated at a career playlist? What do you think this means? Ranked, Progression?
The game is being designed with lots of different types of player in mind – explorers, cooperators, tricksters, and, of course, competitive players. Lots of worries about how loadouts and other new features will affect those players were discussed openly and frankly with the MLG guys, and we were certainly able to reassure them about our philosophy, approach, understanding, and implementation. We also clarified that certain elements (like user selectable ordnance drops) will only be available in appropriate playlists. Oh, and there was happiness when we explained that loadouts for custom games don’t have the same limitations as some of the “career” playlists.
I’m going to guess he means…
Oh, please let it be true…
Ranked playlists.
Hopefully, it’s a Rank playlist with number association.
I honestly won’t be surprised if, it is a ranked playlist, some really sketchy system like Arena.
You guys should give up on the whole 1-50. It probably won’t come back.

Apparently the “career” playlists have limited loadouts. This, I presume, means the career playlists have a competitive idea in mind. This leans toward rank. Even the word “career” reminds me of ranking since military personnel are ranked and what they do is considered a career.

And no Lodouts.
We can hope…

Ehh… I’m pretty sure 343 has been pressured to put 1-50 in by the community. They can easily add a 1-50 in, so why not add one?
I think custom loadouts was a horrible idea. I like Reach’s playlists to be honest.
I assume that there will be playlists with specific weapons; Like SWAT or Infection but I still don’t like the loadout idea.
I would hope it is something like this: my thread
Where there’d be a progressive based playlist and a non-career/progressive based playlist included in matchmaking. Kind of like the old Social and Ranked system but making social actually rewarding, which it has lacked in the past.
Edit: Also id prefer an ELO based rank instead of the old 1-50. 1-50 is just not that good of a system if your using statistics. I think my highest was only a 48 in H3, admittedly, but I just dont see how you could easily compare people using such a system unless you could lose ranks without even playing to ensure the ranks follow a proper population curve based on an individuals skill.
It makes sense, for example if you are playing swat. Why would you allow people to have load outs with an AR and a plasma pistol?

That would be any playlist, wether ranked or casual, in which the stats are tracked or recorded, and Mods/perks/ armory items, etc are gained accordingly.

Little idiot, stop being ignorant and actually realize that SWAT is one of those playlists that will have about 3 slots, preferrably the Dmr and Magnum, the BR and the Magnum, or BR and DMR.

Why are you being so rude to him?
