I do not understand why preset loadouts are not in every placelist in halo 4. They make the game completely balanced. Giving everyone the same LO only makes match more fair and also could help out certain issues in the game.
Halo 4 needs this bad. I understand that 343i doesnt want to ruin the noobs parade by removing their plasma pistol and plasma grenades entirely from the game. They could however make a new gametype that could have only preset loadouts.
Why cant they at least experiment and see what the fans want. I guarantee if they make a gametype that could be in most playlist that is a stripped down version of the game that it would change their thought process on the game. I know they want halo to be their game and that they do not want it to be related to bungie in any way. That however is a issue.
They needed to keep that core gameplay intact while adding new things to make it their own. They overhauled the whole game which makes it very frustrating to play because its so unbalanced and doesnt take that much skill to play.
They need to make classic playlists but they could test it with a gametype to see how it functions before they add a classic playlist. Reach had many options when picking a map with a gametype. There was Zero bloom and then a normal option that fans were used to.
They could either do 2 things. One, either they could add preset loadouts into other playlist like throwdown or make classic playlists. The are very crucial.
