No loadouts,Same starts, alt fire.

One day I was wondering what Halo 4 would have been like if the Lightrifle was THE rifle. The same way BR was for H2/3, DMR was for reach, and Magnum was for CE.

In a world where 343 didn’t add custom loadouts. What if we had a Halo that was a pure arena shooter with the main primary having alternate fire? Something like LR, single fire scoped and burst fire unscoped.

No loadouts, just one flexible weapon everyone spawns with. I forgot LR’s kill times but every player would have the potential to pull of a faster scoped kill time, or do combo shots(2 scoped,1 unscoped). Descope would be a must.

Lets say burst fire unscoped kill time=1.4 seconds(close to H4 BR), single fire scoped=1.3 seconds(close to LR scoped). Nothing drastic but noticeable.

I think it could work, at least worth a try. Hell, we’ve tried everything else from Reach’s hybrid formula to Halo 4’s full retar, excuse me, “modernization”.

PS: Lightrifle is just an example. If you have similar ideas or simply disagree please share.

I would think that the unscoped kill time should be slower than the scoped kill time.

I’ve thought about having two firing modes before and I’m not sure what I think about it. I think it would be interesting to try.

Well, we had The Arena in Reach.

Bungie set up The Arena the way they wanted it, then they turned it over to 343i. The community most likely to play The Arena offered a multitude of suggestions for improvement. Only a few were implemented, and the rest is history.

I don’t know if you meant a pure arena shooter playlist or a pure arena shooter spinoff. Either one is possible, but you may not like what you get. Once 343i does their thing, they don’t like changing it.
