I know what you’re saying" No loadouts shouldn’t be there at all" but hear me out first.
Loadouts are what essentially what makes Halo modern, but it could be so much better. Loadouts should be made for gametype specific playlists, that prohibit certain weapons like Plasma Pistol or Plasma and Pulse Grenades in BTB, or no Boltshot in 4v4 Slayer, this makes things a heck of a lot more balanced, in the gamers’ eyes. The Weapons in the loadouts should also be more catered to, so they are ALL equal at start, test the rate of fire and how fast they can kill a person, or pit two people shooting at each other with different weapons, no moving, and see who gets the faster kill, the weapon that wins should either be nerfed, or the lesser weapon be buffed. Also we should have more tactical pistols, rather than lethal ones so for example, 343s’ abandoned stasis rifle, these are things that could change the the battle, like pistols that slow down, or dispel an area effects that cause damage, or make you opponent weaker, or make you stronger(in defense or attack). Of course only slight effects, not ones that make your shields drop, or a full damage boost or overshield, only slight boosts like a quarter of shields are added to yours when it goes below 75% or slow your enemy rate of fire, or cause a small damage as an area effect, with enough in a clip to at least win in a 1v1 with reasonable amounts, however their rate of fire(pistols) should be slow, only the damaging one should be able to stack up, but have enough to bring your shield down.
Ordanance
In my opinion the ordanance should be nerfed; no any weapon random drops, and no super power weapons(Rockets, Snipers, or anything that pwns immediately), more lesser weapons- Loadout Weapons, AAs, Powerups, Shotguns, SMGs, etc. Obviously, these should also be placed at start on the map too.
The actual Initial Ordanance is fine so players can see where they are, just make it fair for both sides and don’t put snipers on close range maps(Adrift) since there would be small hallways where the sniper can just look at for a while until someone walks into his camp site.
Not all of Halo should just be classic, but instead should be split apart- Ranked and Social with Classic and Infinity Settings. The Classic Sorting system with all the game types just made more classic like Halos 2-3, and an Infinity Sorting system with all of the Newer versions.
We’ll see just how many people want just classic and those who play Infinity.
