How about we get a classic slayer game type? It needs to have no sprint. We need to spawn with the AR and Magnum only. There should be no load outs and no armor abilities. Weapons should spawn at fixed locations on each map. 343, can we please get a game type like this? I like many of the changes that Halo 4 has in it. I am thoroughly enjoying Halo 4 so far(It has its flaws.) However, it’d be nice to see an old-school game type similar to Slayer from Halo 3.
Oh, and please add Team Doubles.
just like the good days of Halo CE…
I’m surprised that they haven’t already implemented a Classic Slayer playlist, considering that it is:
a) simple enough to implement
b) not an unreasonable request
Slayer Pro comes close, but sprint should be removed and the motion tracker returned (ideally without the ludicrous range it currently seems to have).
Agreed. There’s no reason not to have one. People who like loadouts, perks and killstreaks can keep playing infinity and people who like the classic experience can simply stick to the classic category.
Everybody wins.
Yeah, I thought they said that we’d be getting a classic playlist…
I would absolutely love a proper Classic Slayer playlist.
I have no idea why you guys want gameplay from over ten years ago but I think its a good idea.
Everyone wins. People that like Halo 4 can keep playing and the complainers get to play CE in HD.
Why anyone would want to go back to forced spawn loadouts is beyond me.

I know why would anyone want to use their favorite weapon. Idiots if you ask me.
Our best hope for a classic Halo experience is if Halo 2 Anniversary (if it is made) features a fully Halo 2 styled MM system (but with a Halo 3 1-50 ranking system or a better designed system).
That is unless 343 realise that at least a third of the Halo community prefer a classic experience over this loadout crap.

Assuming halo 2 anni. will be made its not going to have MP. And if you want a classic experience go play halo 3. or halo 2 vista. Its a new trilogy with new things. All that matters is the feel of the game. And it still feels very much like halo to me. The better player still wins. map control still matters. etc.
They had this in Reach. They made classic maps, weapon spawns, no armor abilities. However, the playlist didn’t last very long. Sure this is what the fans want but they will get easily bored with it and demand something different.

Halo 2 only works on vista and I have Windows 7.
I am playing Halo 3 but what happens when the Xbox 720 (or whatever it’s called) comes out?
Also if the better player still wins then how come the clueless noob can spawn in his own personal rocket launcher and blow me to pieces? Why can the invisible camper crouch in the corner and remain completely undetected? And how come the enemy can run to cover when he is only one shot from death? That is not Halo to me.
I would love this. They even said before Halo 4 was out that they would have classic and Infinity slayer. Well thats another unfinished statement.
Simple retexture halo 2 and three maps, put weapon spawns back on the map, and respawn time. I will play twenty three hours a day.

No.

You wouldn’t be required to play the playlist. If you dislike spawning with a forced load out, you don’t have to play the playlist. It would make a nice addition and appease people that miss a more ‘old school’ Halo.
Yes, we could go back and actually play Halo 3 online; however, with sub-par graphics, fewer people online, and older maps, maybe we would rather have Classic Slayer on Halo 4?
I was unaware that they had a playlist like that in Reach. I will admit, I lost interest in Reach quickly. Maybe it would fail in Halo 4. Maybe it wouldn’t. I can’t see why implementing the playlist isn’t, at least, worth a try.
Satansreverence, that is what you spawned with in standard slayer in Halo 3. If you spawned with anything else, it would take away from the experience. They could do a mix of Old School BRs and Old School Slayer within the playlist and implement that into pregame voting. Otherwise, it’s not Classic Slayer. Besides, it’s not like you couldn’t find a BR somewhere on the map.
It would be cool if 343 added a classic playlist, but it would probably have a very low population just like Halo Reach.
> just like the good days of Halo CE…
Ha, plasma pistol starts xD Those were the days.
I would like a classic playlist but i have a feeling it won’t pull many players. Just look at Slayer Pro. Even though Swat and Snipes are at the bottom, they pull more than Pro those and that’s supposed to be our “classic” playlist. Then the decent Team Classic in Reach didn’t fare so well either ;/
Classic won’t save this game. It will provide another option yes but the problems that we have now will still be there. That is akin to ignoring the problem, staying in the past, and running away. We have to confront this Halo 4 meta sometime guys, it’s not going anywhere. Gods know it can be a better game for it.
