Legendary Slayer needs variety.

Games Other Halo

I’m happy 343 is adding Legendary Slayer but it seems a little lacking IMO. Why didnt they make multiple variants like Team BRs, Team LRs, Team Suppressors? Also more than 1 loadout. For example AR/resupply/explvs, AR/resupply/dex, AR/resupply/ammo(awareness for precision rifles).
Originally they said it would be a mix between Classic and Infinity. I was expecting something a little more robust. A playlist that uses Halo 4’s features in a BALANCED way not everything stripped down. Team Slayer in Halo 3 had AR starts and BR starts. Traditionally Halo playlists offer variety so things dont get boring. Every playlist in Halo 4 has variant options, why not Legendary? Even if they said they were going to add a strictly classic playlist it should still have multiple variants.

I hope they add/improve settings instead of just throwing a bland playlist at us and removing it when population is too low. Just saying variety would give Legendary Slayer some life.

I imagine other variants will be added at a later time. I hope they never add a variant that has custom loadouts. We already have enough of those and loudouts aren’t true Halo IMO.

No team BRs please. I think we’ll have to play it before we deem it unvaried, but I do agree that different gametypes should give us different spawn weapons. For instance, if we ever get Legendary BTB it will be nice to have DMR/AR.

Why no team BR’s?

If there is only 1 variant than its unvaried.

What do you have against Team BRs(or any precision rifle start)?

I just wish it had more options. At least 2 or 3 AR loadouts like I mentioned.

BRs are slightly overpowered at the moment. The AR, on the other hand, motivates players to pick up something else (which is possible now with weapons on the map). I don’t like one-gun gameplay.
EDIT: If you really want team BRs there is always Throwdown.

I don’t see the point of precision rifle starts, if they are better than AR’s fight to keep them, it should motivate you keep it so you play better

Best thing we can do is play it and offer our thoughts in the Feedback forum. Bravo said in the bulletin discussion that they’ll be monitoring our feedback and adding more maps to it (like Pitfall) down the road. They may add new weapon variants as well…

I’m really psyched to try it!

What’s the point of having an AR start playlist if we’re just going to ask to put in BR starts? It’s always “BR!” Ever since Halo 2.

They should add objective stuff, like KoTH and Capture the flag, and maybe they can make the flag drop able with no pistol along with not instantly picking it up.

I seriously doubt that. the highest population since day 1 has always been infinity slayer and big team infinity slayer, meaning people do like the drop pods and what not. i do think legendary slayer is going to have a decent population, but people will revert back to those other two game types because they are going to find out they are not as good at halo as they thought they were and they are going to miss those power weapons that are given not earned.

12

As said before, AR starts will basically force people to go wandering about the map for a precision weapon, not just loadout and camp with their weapon of choice…

That said, an AR/Magnum start might be good?

No.
No Friendly Fire, ever.

But I’d love descope to be in Halo 5.

15

If you want variety, play infinity slayer.

16

They really need to experiment with map-placed AAs. At least a variant with them.

17

I want polls that have a simple yes/no option for once.

But yes, it could use more variety.

When the developers create an automatic that isn’t complete trash, I’ll be inclined to give AR starts a try.

Following Halo 3’s model, all they had to do is give it more damage but slower projectiles.

18

Team Brs and Team DMR. I’ll go with those any day.

Yes. Yes to friendly fire.

It has always been a halo trait. Learn to aim and there wouldn’t be a problem. If you get betrayed, the option to boot may be there.

I want to see how it plays first. If it plays well, then maybe add some more gametypes and possibly even another playlist altogether (Legendary Snipers, Legendary BTB, ect.).
