Now that we have seen DMR, BR, LR and The Carabine in action… what weapon do you think fits best as the starting weapon for MLG gametypes?
Or do you think that MLG will allow Loadouts?
I think the DMR will be the default starting weapon for MLG, it seems to dominate quite a lot in most of the gameplay I’ve seen and it does take good aim and skill at closer ranges.
Nope, MLG is too stuck in their ways to adopt features from the present game. They instead choose to strip said game down to the bones. So no, I don’t think MLG will have loadouts, and they will probably start with the BR.

The Light rifle seems to be even more powerfull and takes a lot of skill (as people said) also, it seems to be a mixture of both BR and DMR.

Actually a lot of MLG players have discussed how they should adopt as much “out of the box” content as possible, while making as few changes as the can. So you’re clearly misinformed. Personally, I hope these guns are balanced well enough that any or all of them can be used.

MLG tryed to implement loadouts in Halo Reach back in time tough…

I totally forgot about the Light Rifle, yeah it does look quite powerful. I have a feeling they may nerf it a little.

I’m basing my information off Halo Reach, where for the longest time they did exactly what I said they did. I have not followed MLG enough to know what they chose to do at their end of Reach’s life cycle or what their current opinions of Halo 4 are, so sorry I’m for any gaps in my information.

As i said (you probably didn’t read) MLG allowed Loadouts (You could choose between DMR and Needle Rifle), Sprint and other AAs before they found out those didn’t work and removed them completely adding No Bloom and Bleedthrough too.
I would like to see the BR as the default weapon for MLG.

they will probably start with BR. but have the other primary weapons littered through the map.
BR. That’s probably it, knowing MLG…
Its hard to say what they will use.
To start maybe they will use it all
But im sure after that they will toss some things and maybe stick to the BR
The BR or the “Carabine”.

That completely biased and incorrect argument of yours is always nice to hear. I like hearing people say what MLG will do even though they don’t follow or like MLG. Thank you for your wonderful input.
MLG will most likely be using loadouts, at least that is what I think they should(and will) do. They are saying that they want to use as many out-of-the-box settings as possible. So, I think that there will be loadouts. The BR, DMR, Carbine and Light Rifle are all very good starting weapons, and it comes down to more or less preference. I don’t see the AR or Storm Rifle being used very much as they aren’t very good mid-range weapons. I believe we will see the SAW, Shotgun/Sword, Sniper, Rockets, Sticky Detonator, Beam Rifle, PP, Magnum, Boltshot and possibly the Needler in the playlist. I would think that the AR and SR would be available to be selected as starting weapons in loadouts, but most people wouldn’t use them against a team of BR/DMR/LR/Carbine users.
They will also be most likely trying out the new AAs and “perks”, so loadouts makes sense as to being used at first. If it doesn’t work, then it may change.
I think Halo 4 will work a lot better for MLG than Halo Reach ever would.
They will likely let the player chose one of the 4 precision weapons but everyone will use whatever turns out to be the most powerful (likely the DMR) and no one will use the worthless BR.
It will definitely be load-outs if they are balanced seeing as how the next chapter of Halo is based on custom load-outs lol. Their really is no discussion on IF load-outs will be used the question is going to be WHAT should be allowed to be chosen in the load-outs and what should be map pick-ups? You gotta make the best out of the hand you’re dealt, that is what MLG Halo has been doing for years.
They’ll use whatever works.
Which will probably be preset loadouts at the most or a standardized weapon setup (I’m leaning towards the BR or Light Rifle due to their designs). I predict many more weapons will be used in the MLG by comparison to the last few considering that the weapon balance shows signs of sense. AA’s will probably be placed on the map, as the should be, if they’re used at all.
