We all know that Halo 5’s multiplayer is set to have equal starts. This is great, I’m not questioning it. However, creating custom games in Halo 3, especially Action Sack-ish gametypes, something I wished I could do was make players spawn with different weapons and traits. Unfortunately I couldn’t do that, so I had to make screwy spawn areas that would split players up to pick up weapons and powerups. I’m proposing that in Halo 5’s custom game options, we can choose to include gametype specific loadouts like we saw in Reach, where everybody had access to the same loadouts, except in Infection and Invasion, where different teams had access to different loadout sets. I’m not saying that every game mode needs loadouts, or that everybody needs to include them in every gametype. What I’m saying is that in certain custom gamemodes it would be useful to have players pick roles in it, no matter what chaos those roles become depending on the weapons they’re given. It would also be useful to allow the gametype creator to apply different traits and Spartan ability restrictions to each individual loadout. You may now return to your regularly scheduled forum activity.
You aren’t alone. I hope they include them too, because it allows for infinitely more variety.
Somehow I don’t think you will have to worry about not having loadouts. 343 has been very careful with their wording using the “Arena” qualifier.
My guess is that the lack of info on BTB likely means that loadouts and perhaps even ordnance is hiding in a special BTB mode/experience. I think the only thing they ever unambiguously stated were gone were AAs which is unsurprising since SAs are now the focus.
I agree that loadouts and ordnance in customs would be awesome and would rock for machinema
They included a version of them in H2A. I don’t see why they wouldn’t put them in Halo 5.
I agree
Hope so, some gametypes need loadouts (like invasion, if that comes back) and it’ll be good for machinima makers
I want to see load outs in Halo 5 custom games because it out players in a situation where they had to tailor to a certain role the class played in the game mode they played.

My thoughts exactly.
