With the announcement of the Halo 2 BR, which will presumably come with 7 total variants like the others, that puts the number of BRs up to… 35.
This. Is. Ridiculous.
The loadout menu is already cluttered, disorganized, and TOTALLY laggy. If you don’t have this issue yet, you will have it when you get more weapons. I have almost al 28 of the current BRs and it has gotten so annoying to change loadout weapons that most of the time I just stick with the basic one to avoid the lag and repeated sideways scrolling.
There are a few easy solutions that I can come up with right away:
-
Nested Menus: Just like the power weapons menu. I never get lag there! Click on BR, then you see all the scope variants. Click on the scope variant, then you see all the attachments. Easy. No more lag. No more crazy scrolling.
-
Loadouts: Only for Warzone, of course! No Arena loadouts, please. Just give us a simple class for each req level (1-9) that we auto-spawn with including 2 weapons and an armor mod. It would be SO convenient and wouldn’t have any major impact on combat since all these weapons were available anyways. This is obviously a more difficult fix, but I think it’d be really good for the game. (Side note: please don’t just say “No loadouts. This isn’t Call of Duty.” That’s a stupid response. Most games I’ve played have a system like this because generally it’s a good idea. If you genuinely don’t like loadouts or have a reasonable argument than say that.)
What do you think? Other ideas? Critiques on my own ideas?
The Halo 2 BR won’t come with variants. It’s just the plain ol’ BR.

Where did they say that?
That’s just silly. Who’s even going to use it if they can’t put anything on it?
EDIT: Also doesn’t change the fact that even with “only” 29 BRs, the system still needs improvement.
Lots of fans have called for a revision or update to the system. I hope it happens!
Finally, some constructive criticism. I agree OP, could use some work. I also think it would be nice to be able to set up default loadouts for each progression in warzone levels. Less time in the menus the better.
I’m with this idea, because I usually use my longshot stuff then my hardlight/longhsot guns at lvl 4&5 then add on shields
I was just thinking last night that since i have a set pattern it’d be nice to just pre-set it so as i get to level 3+ it just spawns me with my fav. setup/loadout.
It is mind blowing to me that there is no loadout system for WZ. It’s actually very easy programming and in 2016 this system feels so clunky / unfinished. I cringe every time I have to select BR once level 3 each match.
Yes, I have supported this suggestion, almost everyday on this forum.
I should be able to pin the variants I want to switch between and be able to access the full menu on command.
Warzone desperately needs pre-game loadout options. I hate having to cycle through the dozens of BR’s, SMG’s, and DMR’s just to get to the 1 or 2 that I always use.

It’s even worse when you have to scroll all the way right at level 4 for your preferred weapon.

Yep
A simple fix would be to let us hide loadout REQs that we will never use. I use two ARs, three BRs, three SMGs and three DMRs… the rest are there just to clog the menu.
The menus do need work and not just in Warzone.
It feels like they left it to the very last second of development.
Yes , it will be better if it gets an update;can sometimes take too long to scroll down to the req I want.
This type of reorganization would be greatly appreciated and is really needed on other areas of the UI as well (helmets and armor with skins).
I get what you’re saying OP; towards the middle of a match when I want to grab that one BR variant it can get pretty tiresome scrolling through all of the variants. I think just fixing it to lay like it does when you’re choosing power weapons may help. Hopefully they do fix this at some point in the future.
I’d take the ability to mark “favorites” which would then be at the start of the menu. Hitting req 5 and changing BR and SMG has gotten tedious.
It would be ideal to have a favourites menu with loadout weapons, or have it so favorited weapons go to the front of the weapon page.
Generally the UI for REQ weapons in game, and Armour out of game is clunky as there are so many.

Wouldn’t “ideal” be loadout classes for each req level so that you never had to access the loadout weapons menu during the game unless you wanted to deviate from your normal weapon sequence.
