I hate to say it but i think 343 is neglecting classic (no AA’s, no Sprint, no bloom). Why is this coming out in November.
343,
I truly do believe you are neglecting a huge part of the community that would come back if you put this gametype in. Those people who left during the reach era are those people. It was such a large group of people who left (How do I know this? Because the numbers were high during the launch of reach and have dwindled since). In addition, there were far more people playing during halo 1 2 and 3. Now I could be wrong and if so please by all means correct me.
However, 343 it sounds to me like you will dedicate one playlist to classic with pretty much one gametype. This classic experience you talk about should be the majority of playlists.
Why wait until Nov? You should catch these people with the beta hoppers so they get excited to buy the game (HCEA).
Now when I say that the above is my opinion, that is true. However, there are plenty others with my opinion (how do I know: Because they have been talking on these threads and other websites).
Please, give us classic fans something more than just team slayer classic come November at least.
I still have no idea why it seems 343 might keepwith the reach theme for halo 4. It sounds like they might carry these armor abilities over to halo 4. I think that could be devestating to the franchise and the start of their new trilogy. I am worried about the future of halo.
All your garbage Halo 4 theories aside… I think the reason you wont see certain classic things until November is because that builds anticipation for Halo: CEA in what is sure to be a highly competitive Video game market this holiday season.

garbage? to think that they may add AA’s to halo 4? yeah, it was such a crazy thought. you are disrespectful and rude. any other person want to comment besides this guy…i would rather get into a conversation with someone who can hold a normal one.

I’m pretty sure we’ll be getting more to than you are thinking. Anniversary will be the new Team Classic come November. Only this time we’ll have real maps instead of Forged ones, TU settings, a gametype recreating CE gameplay, etc. all in one playlist.
But
That is what will be coming out when Anniversary launches. As time goes on I’m almost certain this will expand into probably a Slayer-only playlist and Objective-only playlist, then maybe a BTB one as well. We’ll probably be getting some type of DMR-starts gametype that will play more like Halo 2/Halo 3 to go alongside the CE-style AR-Mag gametype, maybe some more community Forge maps, maybe even add in classic variants of Reach maps like Hemorrhage, Pinnacle, etc.
There is literally no limit to how far this can go, but 343 will only keep expanding it if they think the community will like it. I’m sure Team Classic would’ve expanded much more if it had more than 400 population on a daily basis.
You also have to remember that this is a beta for Anniversary, not the real thing. 343 will only be testing out the things that they need to test. They don’t need to test no-bloom b/c they already know everyone likes it. The real thing comes in November.
I hope you are right. It makes sense that they will only expand if the market has enough demand for it. let’s hope the people who loved the old halos will come back or if they are still with reach, play the classic playlist so that 343 can see the hopefully high population.
It might be as simple as a technical thing they have to do to merge classic with reach or they are just building up anticipation for HCEA. i would personally like it better if they fixed everything with classic and made it as close as possible to Halo 1 and then released it along side HCEA. That way its so much sweeter when you do get to play it again.

Hey, I called it garbage not because I think you’re wrong, or because I disagree with you, but because you created this thread to discuss Halo CEA, and instead you spend half or more of this topic in the OP whining about how you don’t want AA’s in H4.
It’s garbage, filler, junk that has nothing really to do with Classic settings this November.

i agree with you. that would really be a fun game to play.
> Putting it in right away would just take away from the population of the Beta Hopper. They want as many people testing out their ideas as possible.
>
> Also, as someone said: anticipation for HCEA.
so maybe they should put classic out in order to tweak the playlists so we can get really good one come NOV. Just a thought.
In response to guywiired: no response except to say it seems my opinion bothers you, maybe you should participate in other threads because i will continue to voice my opinion.

This is exactly what they’re doing. Since they couldn’t bring back the original CE multiplayer they’re using Reach’s engine to recreate CE gameplay as best they can. They’re not just throwing in the CE magnum, getting rid of AAs, and calling it a day.
The reason why they aren’t letting anyone play this yet is b/c they want the anticipation for Anniversary to be high and they don’t need to test these settings b/c there is only one way to make them.
Remember this is just a beta, and it will eventually end. It’s just a taste of the real thing that will come in November.

O bless you child, you have given old Empy hope…i guess we’ll see come Nov. I just can’t stand how they treat everything as though it’s top secret classified. let us know what you are doing. if a wrench gets thrown in the plans fine. just update us. were all adults, we can handle it. haha. well almost all of us. lol.

I agree. There’s no point in trying to build up tension until CEA’s release. Most of the Reach competitive crowd has/is moving on to other games (I know I am), to have any hope of bringing them back, they need to add a truly classic playlist ASAP.
