In a forum post ske7ch just announced the classic playlist will be released next week and it will feature halo 1 pistol on forge maps with… wait for it!!!
With all of halo 5’s movement mechanics turned on, thats right turned on. Please discuss. I think that after a year of the game being released we should have the option to play a classic playlist that is truly classic, because having halo 5 SA’S does not make it classic at all. Thats like having a halo 5 playlist that is on halo 5 maps but with the Spartan abilities turned off, clearly it would be argued that that is not a true halo 5 themed playlist.
Before anyone says go play halo mcc please understand that it is full of bugs and glitches to where it is unplayable and frustrating, still having to search for hours at times for a game. Thats like if halo 5 was full of bugs and unplayable and me telling you to quit complaining and go play halo 5, you couldn’t. So please understand and discuss
But… That’s not classic… 
That’s like giving us some strawberry ice cream and saying that it’s chocolate. We don’t want strawberry ice cream, we want chocolate! Give us the chocolate!
This is most disappointing. I may check it out just to see what it’s like, but I guess I’ll be sticking to MCC if I do play my Xbox. Chances are that I’ll keep playing other games on my PC though.

Exactly man, that is the exact analogy i thought of! Haha but yea foreal man i am truly shocked and disappointed as well, there are 11 halo 5 playlists why cant we have just one that is truly classic
…Uh how is this a classic playlist 343…

Exactly, i would appreciate an explanation, other than “this is how we want classic to be”

Do you have a link to the article?
I will give it a shot, but the concept of a “classic playlist” isn’t all too appealing to me. I guess this may be a nice middle ground of old fashioned weapons and new shiny movement mechanics, so it may appeal to me.
I’ll give it a shot for sure

Im sorry man i dont know to how to it but you can find it in the forum post " excited about the classic playlust?!??" It should be on the recent feed
I’m disappointed greatly by this. Also, I was hoping for some Halo 2 and 3 maps… form what I understand it will be strictly Halo CE maps. I hope I’m wrong.
Not even close to being classic.
Agreed yal, i wish they had clarified before all the hype. I woild have loved remakes on halo 1-3 as a classic playlist on halo 5’s engine

Well… that sucks.

“Made our own conclusions”?
What do you expect us to assume about a playlist that is supposed to be classic? Are we suppose to assume it has movements and spartan abilities from a nonclassic playlist? There truly is something wrong with yal 343 and yal are pathetic, including you ske7ch

At least you took the time to find the damn quote for us. I was going to call BS on OP’s claims until I saw your post.
Never create a post like this until you have all the information people. It’s not hard to do the homework yourself.

Whole lotta shots fired 
I’m as surprised as you, I was expecting something a little different than what this “Classic” playlist has turned out to be 
.
Still, at least we’ll get a chance use the (3-shot kill) CE Magnum in something other than Warzone or Infection.

I don’t hate 343i, but the bolded statement- this is ridiculous. I made my own Halo 2-style classic game mode that worked just fine. Why on earth would it be impossible for 343i devs to make one? Heck, they could just take mine and put it in matchmaking on some Forge maps.

Me too!
Sigh… It just makes me feel worse about 343 when I try to show so much appreciation for them.
But they pull things like this, and it’s just so dumb.
