With the Majestic map pack out and the Royal map pack on the horizon, it would be a great time for 343 to deliver on what they promised back before launch, which was FULL CLASSIC SUPPORT IN MULTIPLAYER. Honestly, this game has been such a letdown. But I would completely go back to it if they delivered on Frank O’Connor’s promise.
Give us Classic Slayer, 4v4, AR and Magnum starts, no abilities, no ordnance, 3 second spawn.
Give us Big Team Classic: 8v8, AR and Magnum starts, ABILITIES PLACED ON MAP (Halo 3 style), no ordnance, second spawn.
That’s it. You promised, 343, please deliver, IT WILL REVITALIZE YOUR GAME MORE THAN ANY MAP PACK COULD.
I just don’t believe the classic playlists will thrive. It will be popular for a week or two max and then die off. There is not enough community support for a classic playlists and the folks that are all up in arms are the minority. I want 343i to create it just so I can write, “You heard it here first!” when it FAILS.
There isn’t much support of active Halo players, but I guarantee that many players would come back to Halo 4 to play some Classic gameplay.

The only reason it would fail is because they took so damn long to make it that all of the “classic” players left.
-_-
I would love to play an Anniversary Classic Slayer. But i would want the Pistol to be “godly”.

It is always 343i’s fault eh?
So even if they gave the people supposedly what they want… It will not be enough.
That is why I want 343i to do whatever they want to do

Be patient
All of this -Yoink- that people want takes time.
Just as you are saying that what you want will revitalize this game, another chap is claiming that it is CSR visible at every turn that will do the same for Halo4.
The playlist would fail and won’t bring back players. I’d like some classic too but let’s be realalitic here. It’s not going to “save” Halo. Nothing will. The over a decade long ride is over. It’s just an average game now.
I would be interested in this only from the standpoint of curiosity. I would be extremely surprised if it was, but that is probably just because I feel like Halo should always begin with a precision weapon.
I always hated the lack of a BR start in many of the previous Halos. The halo 1 pistol filled that role, so AR and Pistol start in the original was perfectly fine.
This is exactly why Team Throwdown is a failure. 343 wasted time catering to the vocal minority and now there is a playlist with very few people playing it. Classic playlist was a failure in Halo Reach and it would do the same thing in Halo 4.

BR in the original…
facepalm

This is what we call a typo. It has happened before, and will probably happen again one day.
Anybody thinking a “classic” slayer playlist will do anything is fooling themselves. It failed badly in Reach and it will fail here.
I’m with Bhreze, I’m actually hoping they add it so I can lol at all these “classic Halo” fanboys.

To all you saying “IT FAILED IN REACH.”
Halo 4 is a lot less popular than Reach. I liked reach. Many liked reach. Halo 4 is not Reach. Its population has dropped astronomically even compared to Reach. Comparisons to Reach mean nothing because its obvious that as much as Reach was hated, Halo 4 hasn’t even been able to maintain Reach’s population.
I didn’t’play classic much in Reach until the anniversary came out. I WOULD PLAY THE -Yoink- OUT OF CLASSIC NOW. It would be my go to playlist. And it has no downside for you if they make it so you might as well take the tree trunks out of your -Yoink-. There is no downside to them making a classic playlist. So let’s see what happens. No one can KNOW, so all this speculation is exactly that.
