Yes, I know people have been talking a lot about this… But adding custom classes is the stupidest “addition” anyone could ever do to Halo. You can spawn with a rocket launcher? Ridiculous. I thought this game would be good until I heard about their multiplayer decisions. Halo isn’t and shouldn’t be about whoever spawns with the best weapon wins, it’s suppose to be about rushing to a place on the map and ACQUIRING the best weapons but having the chance of facing opposition on the path there. Custom classes just crush one of the main things of Halo multiplayer. What next, gun mounted grenade launchers and damage increase perks? That seems to be the direction they’re heading in.

Don’t know where you heard that false information from.
Spawn with a Rocket Launcher!? You mean what we’ve always had the option of doing since the very first game!?
GameInformer. It says you can have primary weapons of “Assault Rifle, DMR, Battle Rifle, Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, Assault Carbine, Covenant Carbine, etc.”
Except you can’t spawn with power weapons derp
> GameInformer. It says you can have primary weapons of “Assault Rifle, DMR, Battle Rifle, Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, Assault Carbine, Covenant Carbine, etc.”
Except 343(you know the developers of the game) stated after the article that you cannot spawn with power weapons.
> GameInformer. It says you can have primary weapons of “Assault Rifle, DMR, Battle Rifle, Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, Assault Carbine, Covenant Carbine, etc.”
No it didn’t, the article said they either saw those weapons in a loadout OR on the map.

No it does not… >.>

Only in Team Rockets or in custom games. Not in every gametype -__-
Make sure your clear on all information before you speak out or it makes you look bad.

I’m talking about the options within the game that’s always been there. Matchmaking is just a set of Custom Game settings that was decided to be implemented, there’s nothing stopping them from creating a new gametype with power weapon loadouts.
You can only spawn with balanced primary weapons. Which each change per map and such.
Frankie said for example big maps you can have BR/DMR, Maybe Carbine. While smaller maps are more AR, Plasma Rifle, w/e.
Anyway it’s balanced. Much more balanced then spawning everyone with an SMG, or forcing everyone to use a BR/DMR all the time. Now it allows players to use more guns. It’s better. A fix. Not a step back.

I try not to insult people, but you’re making it extremely difficult. Adding a power weapon to a custom loadout is impossible, as stated by 343i themselves. Power weapons still spawn on the map, albeit by a new system, and they must be fought over by players. Same core gameplay, new level of depth.

Nope, overpowere weapons is the reason why everybody avoids other weapons.
Granted, a gametype without the DMR, NR or Magnum sounds like balanced fun…

Gametype without the Magnum… NO!
love when people make stupid posts like this. read up on your halo 4, u CANT spawn with power weapons.
And OP is nowhere to be found
While OP may have gotten carried away by false information, I still think spawning with custom loadouts is not good for Halo. It’s one of the things I didn’t like about Reach and 343 is expanding that feature in 4.
I wanted everyone on EVEN ground. Now we have gameplay affecting modifications and the ability to spawn with an AR/BR/DMR etc. One one hand it means I might not have to play dreaded AR starts ever again. On the other, I’m not gonna be a fan of spawning with a BR only to have a guy cross map me because he spawned with a DMR. Hopefully there will be playlists set up for a more “classic” experience, and that seems to be the case.
You can’t spawn with power weapons.
I’m hoping any imbalance will be taken away when that superior starting class is formed, and everyone starts using that.
BR+DMR starts, anyone?

Thanks for reaffirming my annoyance with the Halo community.
If the gametype exists and you don’t like it, then don’t play it. There’s plenty of gametypes that you can choose that’s nothing but Magnum fights.
