What are your thoughts guys?

Interesting. I like it.

Thank you 343. :slight_smile: No more AR and a sad face.

Kind of leads me to think that there will still be playlists in which you are either stuck with an AR or a BR (I like it! Halo 3 style with everyone screaming "VETO FOR BR’S!’.

And the major disappointment when it doesnt get vetoed

Yeah no

So default loadouts based on maps and modes? Thats nice.

Id like to see the haters say CoD did that.

7

well i feel a little better. still a little worried about camo and jetpack but its getting better.

8

love that they are assigning different weapon starts to different types of maps, still a little apprehensive about some other stuff though…

9

Oh it seems like it was yesterday. “ARs on snowbound, no everyone veto for BRs”.

10

That’s awesome.

11

Beauty. I still wish we didn’t have to unlock any guns, but at least this makes it sting a little less, knowing that I’ll have a chance against “I-got-it-early-because-I-live-near-a-mom-and-pop-store” guy and his BR.

12

don’t know why he threw that nice tid-bit in my topic. But hey, Nice to know still :slight_smile:

13

That’s very good.

Uhm in CoD u use ur OWN loadout. Same will be in Halo4. U can choose a standart Loadout and unlock some weapons and then create ur own loadout. Its still CoD/BF

16

Only if Reach had done that to.

Yeah. CoD / BF are the only games to ever exist that have ever let the player choose a loadout. Also, WoW is the first MMO.

I know that they are more games with loadouts and -Yoink-… but Battlefield and CoD are main shooters now.
