Classic Playlists (I know, ANOTHER one...)

Games Other Halo
1

Bear with me here. I know there’s a million of these threads, but I wanted to make a poll that could (hopefully) become a semi-official representation of how many people think they’d be a good idea.

Keep in mind that even if you wouldn’t necessarily play them because you’re happy with the current gameplay, do you think it would be fair to implement them to appease the people who aren’t satisfied with it?

IMO, classic lists would be a pretty simple way to fix a lot of the stuff that parts of the community don’t like. There seems to be a rift between people who prefer H2/H3 and people who prefer Reach/H4. I like H4, but I miss the old style of gameplay.

My idea of a classic playlist:
Mix of games starting with either AR or BR (MAYBE both with two identical loadouts so people can choose?)
Resupply turned on (for nades)
Explosives Support Package turned on (so nades actually hurt)
Fixed weapon/nade spawns on the map
No armor abilities
Maybe sprint disabled?
NO DMR as a spawn weapon, but maybe as a weapon on the map

What do you guys think a Classic playlist should be?

I’m afraid they’ll implant an classic with sprint and unpick able grenades so it will feel like playing semi-classic.

They already had in mind to add classic but just to hype it they dont launch it at the start(like SWAT)

Voted for yes though :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s always nice to have the option there.

Even if classic gets added people will still -Yoink- about the game and still -Yoink- about other playlists they don’t even play.

Probably won’t solve anything.

If you prefer Halo 3, why not play Halo 3? Halo 3 is by no means dead, it still has a huge playerbase.

> Fixed weapon/nade spawns on the map

Should be fixed regardless of playlist. Ordnance drops shouldn’t be pretty much the only means of acquiring power weapons.

I know where you’re coming from, but I’m trying to be realistic. Halo 3 doesn’t have nearly the playerbase H4 does, and H3 isn’t going to be around forever. It’ll die off eventually, so I’m trying to get my preferred experience out of the current version. Plus, sticking with Halo 3 means that we wouldn’t get to take advantage of the new weapons and maps, which isn’t really fair.

I think it be a awesome if they would add this playlist. I like all your ideas especially the one about weapons on the map. To me this is the way all of them should be. It just doesn’t seem like their is a real purpose to slayer anymore other than just running and gunning. It use to be about weapon and map control.

I second this.
