Where is the Halo gameplay that most of us have come to love but has been absent in the past two games(Reach and Halo4)? By this I mean where is atleast 1 playlist for us players who enjoyed Halo1-3 semi balanced gameplay.
-No sprint
-No instant spawn(Was a 5 second respawn really that bad? Now that they introduced killcams although glitchy if they were done correctly they could “Force” us to watch the killcam while we wait 3-5 secs to respawn or you could skip the killcam and switch to teammates screens or your dead body just like previous Halos)
-No ordnance drops(Place power weapons/power ups on the map in balanced locations so both teams can fight for good stuff-They kind of have this already I’ll use Haven and the Scattershot bottom middle as a example)
-No AA’s or just a Thruster Pack(These could be placed on the map as well)
It’s 4am where I’m at and I can’t get back to sleep so I wanted to see if anyone else had the same thoughts.
I would at least like a option to play classic Halo if I get tired/frustrated of some of these things listed above
I would like to see a playlist and I’m just going to use Team slayer and the map Haven as an example where
-We are given maybe 2 loadout options
Give us a option to pick a Rifle(BR/DMR/Light rifle/carbine and as secondary let us choose a pistol or AR)
AA-(None or thruster pack) I really don’t see the thruster as being overpowered as the other AA)
Tactical- Resupply ( In past Halo we could pick up grenades from dead bodies)
Support- Stability( In past Halos when getting shot our aim was not disturbed by “fliching”
On Haven how the starting spawns are now I would simply rotate them so each team spawns on the ramps where the Needlers are closest to. This cuts the map in half perfectly. Place maybe 1 power weapon bottom middle(Shotty/Snipe/Rocket)maybe even say spawn the scattershot as the first initial drop then in 2 mins in the same area drop a sniper or rocket type item there) On the low side of the map(the low original spawn area for this map maybe place like a camo/overshield/damage or speed boost to fight over) Throw some weapons/grenades down on each teams side of the base like stickys where you drop down by the lifts)
Well that is all for now that I can think of to make this game balanced and less random chaos. I tried to make a poll and would like to see how the votes go. I also apologize if this post looks messed up but when I typed it looked good and when I hit preview it looks all fugged up.
Yeah I noticed that too and I also agree this game is semi-fun but it isn’t Halo anymore it’s some sort of hybrid wannabe. I mean if they did it right they would have left us the original Halo gameplay somewhere and also given us the option for this new hybrid. It’s like Halo decided to abandon it’s perfect formula and add changes. It would be like the NBA switching up to a bigger hoop and making people play with a beach ball.
Yes please I would like to see a classic playlist with no armor abilities, most of the additions of halo 4 make the experience seem deluded and not fun, it seems to have taken from what made halo fun in the first place
A classic Big Team Battle Playlist and Team Slayer / Team Objective playlist would have me playing Halo 4 everyday again. I just want to start on even ground with people again fight over power weapons and not have things magically drop to my and my enemies feet.

Thank you for pointing that out I forgot about that since there are so many new changes to the game and missing features from previous games. Maybe we should make up some settings and try to play some custom games. We can start out small with FFA slayer and if we find good settings and many people to play with we can move onto 2v2 4v4 6v6 etc while trying to make even teams if some of us are higher/lower skilled than others. If you guys want to shoot me a friend request it’s the same as my forum name I maybe on tomorrow night EST during the day I’m doing something with the family.
To start I will maybe make 3 loadouts
BR
DMR
AR
Thruster pack ability because it’s not that amazing but can make for some funny situations(If you guys can point out a major flaw with the ability we will remove it)
Resupply
For support I’m thinking Dexterity or explosives
We may be able to incorporate personal ordinances as well if we don’t give them out too often and make them not anything extreme like a rocket launcher
I think we will have to forge maps with weapons that will always spawn in that spot and not randomly.
So far I have Haven with a sticky detonator at the top teams spawn ramp and a sniper rifle at the bottom teams spawn. This will only play well if we have team or can spread out the FFA spawns so nobody spawns right next to them at the beginning of them game or we can possibly delay those weapons from spawning until like 1 minute into the game. Well I’m kind of sleepy let me know what you guys think.
