Tried to keep it as true to “Old Halo” as possible. But with some of the benefits of “New Halo”. Some of the faster pace of Reach/4 with some of the methodicalness of 3.
I will be putting together Halo 4 maps using the same settings with default map layouts.
I recreated Valhalla with some minor tweaks due to some weapons no longer being available.
Dark green indicates changes with newest version. If anyone wants to try it out add me, or join my game.

While i don’t think it will be classic, its like the improved reach that 343 advertised us.
(anyways, have you considered having AA’s as a power spawn as sorts?)

That was my initial idea.
Slayer Classic being the Halo 3 experience.
Slayer Classic + being the Halo 3 experience with AA.
However the custom game options to not provide the option to spawn/not spawn armor abilities on map. This would require two variations of every map to be made. One with AAs one without.
I haven’t decided if I want to undertake both in tandem or just go with Halo 3 + AA.
For the concept though, I have both Halo Classic and Halo Classic + gametypes as well as Classic and Classic + variations of Ragnarok
OP this is much more productive and a better idea than being negative on the forums. I commend you for being constructive and productive by creating what you want.
PERSONAL ORDINANCE:
< DMR, > Boltshot, V Plasma Pistol.
“Random” Ordinance is only in ONE LOCATION on the map and spawns either Overshield, Damage Boost, or Speed Boost ever 2 minutes.
Also, this Classic system is based off of Halo 2/3 with BR starts. Halo 3 had 2 frags off spawn which was and still is utterly ridiculous. But everyone knows BR starts is way better than AR starts ESPECIALLY in Halo 3. AR/Melee rushing over and over got really old really fast.

At 110% Damage the BR is 4 shot and the DMR is still 5 shot.
But it also makes the LR a 4 shot unscoped AND scoped which kind of beats the purpose of the weapon. The Carbine in this setup is I think 6 shot? It is pretty awesome at close range, but gets dominated at mid range because of it’s poor accuracy.
The MAJOR problem with 110% is that the Grenades become ridiculous.

Don’t worry, it most certainly is.
> Just so you know, having a 3 second respawn means nothing. Not matter what you set the respawn time to, there will still be instant respawns.
Ah, correct you are.

With damage buffed to 110% the BR is 4 shot kill. The DMR remains a 5 shot kill.
The Assault rifle only gets the slightest of a buff when lends it to being a more useful starter weapon.
The boltshot, should I find it fitting for any of my maps over the shotgun, would be a map-only weapon, so it would be balanced. And besides, boltshot is already 1 shot kill at the range it is typically used.

Resupply is already part of it. I am currently investigating how explosives changes the game.
But as for starting weapons, it will remain AR/Mag only.

There was no DMR in classic slayer(h3) and no Boltshot ether so why are we having this conversation.

I plan to incorporate new weapons into new maps to give the game the feel of Halo 3 while including the new sandbox.
I just used Ragnarok as a starting point because it had an equivalant in Halo3, and I could work off that.
Nevertheless boltshot wont be effected because it is already one shot kill, plus it won’t be a spawn weapon.
