I knOw perks and load outs aren't exactly halo but

What if the system turns out balanced and fun?

Then it will be awesome

And what if it’s not?

Two words classic playlist or a playlist where everyone starts out the same but every multi kill( or a skillful kill such as a sniper headshot ) results in gaining a random perk

I like the idea. And if it is perk only, no AA, and the perks aren’t anything like Last Stand Pro from Black ops, I’d be fine with perks. Games evolve and change, people just need to understand that.

I don’t think perks/loadouts fit well with halo and I would be surprised if they worked well in Halo 4. I can deal with change and have been trying to like reach for a long time coming.

Interesting playlist idea, the more playlists the better.

Agreed I would be very happy if there was just one slayer playlist without perks or load outs but I believe it will enhance the game in other modes.

Firefight perks ( that are buysnle with points) yes!

Campaign perks that are collected trough terminals yes!

Invasion perks yes!

Slayer hmmmm maybe

Objective perks! Yes!

Perks just aren’t what Halo is about. As long as perks don’t affect multiplayer then it wouldn’t be so bad… but it still sounds like a mistake to me.

They did not use the word perks…

So your idea of balance is to reward a player who’s dominating or with a power weapon with a perk that would boost his abilities?

The hell?

things like perks and custom lodeouts arent what Im looking for in Halo

unless thay are reach lodeouts im not BUYING.

More like we need more pasive abilities with default loadouts

> They did not use the word perks…

This, a mention of an upgrade system has been rapidly turned into a “perk” system by media that likes to compare everything to a certain major franchise.

Nothing should be added. You should spawn on a map with default guns, pick up other guns, and kill the other team till the kill count is up.

You guys should read this interview to see what Frank O’connors stand point is on how halo might be getting a bit similar to CoD. Its a very good point, and you should actually read the whole interview. I did and i learned quite a bit.

Thank you I can see how that is a good point. But I just hope there will be no “slite of hand” or “light wate” in Halo. you know what I mean.

The problem is that there will be one loadout that will beat them all. that isnt balanced.

its a problem in BF. CoD. basically any game with Loadouts.

Maby if H4 loadouts are like gears3 loadouts there wount be a problem.

You know just the basic guns in your loadout.

that wouldnt be bad, but thats not what 343 wants. they want that COD money, so they are using the Generic COD model of Class customization.

if it turns out balanced 343i must be gods because the only way to have complete balance is to have a symmetrical map, same loadout starts, and the same skill levels. Maybe even no weapons on the map because that gives that team an advantage to have a more powerful waeapon.

… We’ve barely seen anything about the loadouts and customization stuff. How do you assume this early it is a generic copy of CoD’s system?
