So this is my second poll where i’m going to ask you guys what you like more? Custom Loadouts or a Pre-set Class were everbody starts with the same weapon.
I like Pre-set Class because Halo 4’s loadouts are unbalanced
Make sure to check out all the other Polls to improve Halo!
I lean towards no loadouts/classes period, but I prefer Reach’s game loadouts over 4’s personal ones. At least then you could make an educated guess about what the enemy had. Now no one starts on remotely even footing.
I want to stick to Loadouts. Gives me the opportunity to choose what weapons, AA’s, tacts & supports I want. I’m surprised there wasn’t another section for custom ord drops (although that wouldn’t go well).
If you wondering why i said section for Ord Drops. each loadout would have one with a choice of 2 weapons (Loadout Weapon, Power Weapon, and Armor Mod).
I prefer custom loadouts, mainly for the ability to choose my primary weapon. My main problem with previous Halo games is that if I wanted to use the Plasma Rifle, I had to find one despite it being just as useless as the Assault Rife. Custom loadouts also solved the BR/DMR vs AR starts problem.
As much as I don’t like Loadouts in general, I’d stick to pre-set ones. It makes the game a little less random.
I’d like to see fully customizable loadouts in some gametypes/playlists, preset loadouts in other gametypes/playlists, and only one set starting loadout for the rest.
It’s like classic Halo + Halo: Reach + Halo 4!
The reason I think this is, fully customizable loadouts really give players the ability to choose whatever fits their needs. It can also be very strategic and fun, yet hectic, and can help you go after Commendations or try out new things. Preset loadouts will be more balanced because they will not be created by the player. And just one loadout will put all players at even playing fields, with the exception of some people being more skilled with what they start off with.
Pre-sets.
That way everyone starts on a equal level playing field.
As someone who dislikes the BR, BR start games were always a bad game for me, I’d want a Carbine ASAP now I can start with a Carbine (well Light Rifle is my strong suit :P)
But in Halo 5, have a competitive playlist that has pre-set loadouts and the social custom loadouts
for me simply custom loadouts because I get to go into a match prepared with all the stuff I require for victory in different scenarios. if it’s pre-sets usually end up picking the same one and throwing away pre-set weapons anyways.
Preset, but I would prefer none. It makes the game more fair and less random.
Your poll is incomplete. There should have been an option for both.
Both belong in Halo now. Load-outs are fine for Infinity Slayer, BTIS etc and, there is no reason not to have Slayer versions with preset starts.
Actually, how Halo 4 currently is fine. It has something for everyone. There are play lists and game modes with load-outs and others with preset starts. This is the best of both worlds.
I dislike the either or options so many put out there. Why can’t it be all options…you would have a better chance of satisfying the most people and keep more people playing than if you only cater to one side or the other.
Yeah you are right I’m sorry…
Nothing wrong with loadouts in my option. Only problem is the PP and PG and camo problem (mainly) in BTB.
It’s funny because the casuals/the general population typically avoids the playlists without balance and go for those who do have it.
Example: SWAT, Living Dead, Big Team Battle.

It’s not a preference thread. Did you read the part where it says “VS”. In other words he is insinuating that you can either choose one or the other.

If fully customisable loadouts came into Halo then you can say goodbye to its arena style and welcome to the world of camping and of course Call Of Duty: Requiem.
how in the name of the almighty heavenly lord are loadouts imbalanced? people make these claims with zero supporting evidence. loadouts allow you to heavily customize a class to maximize your gameplay depending on the map, gametype, and personal personal preference; adding a whole new layer of skill to the game in these being wisely chosen. i know some would have us regress to the days where all you spawn with is a battle rifle and thats it, but sorry thats not flying with us halo modernists
I like being able to spawn with what I want, I want to be able to stand out from everyone in the match.
Literally, I love spawning with an AR, feels like home, and spawning with the Carbine, that weapon I can never let go, it’s my baby!
I love Custom Loadouts, and I really hope 343i brings it back in Halo 5.
However, I know players that don’t like it, and would much prefer Pre-Set Classes.
So, why can’t we have both?
There is only one thing I like about loadouts. The ability to always start with a BR. Other than that I despise loadouts.
