So I just watched this Gamespot Interview with Dan and Frank! Listen what Frank has to say around 11:20 minutes! You will like what he had to say!
He confirmed there will be Arena-style gametypes in the Halo 5 Guardians Beta! Halo Classic Gameplay! That's great news for many people I know! What do you think?! :)Maybe we’ll get the true sequel to Halo 3’s arena style gameplay after all.
About to be moved leeeeel
And halo classic gameplay…who doesnt love that!?

How to make my day in about 2 and half seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=bAjzdd4uJtM#t=690
“Arena, Balanced, Equal Starts”
all I know is that I liked being able to spawn with a carbine. I don’t want that to go away.

Perhaps Halo 4 style will be offered along side Arena style?
We don’t know at this point…
Good news!
Why is everybody freaking out about this? The previous two games had the same style of gameplay, why is everybody acting like it’s been gone for years?
> Why is everybody freaking out about this? The previous two games had the same style of gameplay, why is everybody acting like it’s been gone for years?
Because it has been gone for a while. The last two halo games did not have equal starts at all. I don’t think I need to explain how they didn’t…
On topic, I have more hope now that halo 5 will be a great game. Equal starts would be huge for me, I really feel like this was a big thing missing from the last few halo games.
Equal starts, meaning no loadout options, and new Spartan features without ridiculous AAs?
I must contain the hype.

What are you talking about? I can boot up Reach right now and create a gametype with AR starts and AAs on the map. I can put it into my file share if you would like to look.
It sounds all well and good, but the ‘small part’ comment still makes me nervous. Something like Invasion which was a separate niche gametype is fine, the problem I have had with these last two games(and Halo 4 in particular) is that the Halo I wanted to play was only a small aspect of the game limited to a 1 or 2 playlists.
I hate to be so cynical about it but Halo 4 burned me that bad. Still, good news is good news.
Let me spawn with a CC…that is all.

Yes you can do it in a custom game type, but that is all. The default settings for the last two games have not been this way. What people are talking about when they say equal starts is the default settings. That is what I’m/other’s are talking about

Why are you acting like the default gametype is the only gametype that can be played? Any tiny change you make in the game options can be used in the matchmaking system. There is nothing preventing you from playing whatever gametype/map you created in matchmaking. The only brickwall is the developers in charge of controlling the matchmaking service actually going out of their way to program those options into the service.
Tomorrow 343i can turn off headshots for every gametype in Halo: Reach and that’s what it will be like.
I’m all for the return of arena style gameplay but there are some things about Halo 4 multiplayer that shouldn’t go away. It is fun being able to spawn with your favourite weapon.
There needs to be some way to mix these different styles together.

Wow, ok bud clam down. I’m not acting like it is the only game type nor are others. Clearly your not understanding and/or I’m doing a bad job explain things. You are only talking about custom games. In there yes you can do whatever but I would say most people don’t play custom games, they play the default playlists that Bungie/343 makes. In THOSE playlists in the last two halo games, starts weren’t equal. That’s all people are saying. Sorry if that was confusing or I made it confusing.

I’d be fine with a playlist that still used loadouts, as long as it’s a more toned down version of Halo 4. Less weapon options for primary weapon. We don’t need 4 precision rifles or 3 assault weapons. The performance gap between each weapon shouldn’t be that far off.
I’d love Carbine/Br and AR/Plasma or Storm Rifle start. Add Headshot multipliers for assault weapons.
