There is going to be two parts to the game, ranked and Social.
Ranked:
Equal Starts
Weapons on map
New Spartan Abilties: Sprint, slide, taking cover behind a wall with the press of a button, etc.
Social:
Loadouts
Armor Abilities
Weapons on map? or Ordnance?
New Spartan Abilties: Sprint, slide, taking cover behind a wall with the press of a button, etc.
At the moment this is what I believe, what about you guys?
I think that if they want to please the competitive gamers they should just copy Halo 3 MP over and over again.
In all seriousness though I think they will remove armour abilities and loudouts completely. Everyone will start out with an AR and a frag. There will be new default abilities that every player has 100% of the time, such as sprint or dual weild.
Not only do I not think that will happen, I do not want it either. Social and Competitive games should be based around the same gameplay rather than be two completely separate styles. Why?
For example, I’m more of a casual gamer rather than competitive, though I very much prefer classic, arena-style gameplay. Why should I and others like me have to choose between either getting gameplay that I dislike or having to play ranked?
Furthermore, giving both ranked and social playlists different gameplay would create a sense of alienation to players who start with one and go to the other. The game needs to have one identity, one that will please the most amount of people and will be fun.

Isn’t Halo 4 much like what I said already? You have legendary slayer or team throw down, and Infinity Slayer.
