RE: Custom loadouts.

Alright, so I, like many others, were completely shocked by the fact that there will be custom loadouts in H4. I personally, am against personal loadouts for the halo franchaise, however, there could be a certain amount of leeway given.

with Halo Reach, a game that, while I do enjoy, I do have my fair share of gripes with it. I personally believe that if the personal loadouts were like a starter weapon, and a side arm, it would be ok.

Let me explain before you go bouncing off the walls.

Say, I’m a huge fan of the BR (which I am), and I’m in a lobby of people that say, for arguments sake, love the AR. When voting for the gametype, everyone votes for the standard slayer, when BR Slayer is a choice. With custom loadouts, I could still be allowed my BR start, in a normal slayer match, vice-versa for whatever gun people want.

That being said, this is all 100% speculation and opinion. No one knows enough about the game in its current state except for 343i, and we have to trust them at this point in time up until the release of the game with the development, and show our opinions in a civilized manner up until release, and post release for how we want the game to be.

Feel free to share opinions/comments/criticisms.

I agree, if they do something like COD where everybody can have different weapons than that is really bad, but if they do something like Reach did than that is okay, but I would rather have no loadouts.

Halo (I mean TRUE halo) is about starting off equal, having to fight for your powerups with nothing to help you but your skill. Not only were AA’s horrible (especially sprint and jetpack, yes both WAY worse then AL) but you don’t even have to fight for them because you spawn with them because of these stupid loadouts.
That was a major flaw in Reach, but now they decide to actually spawn people with other weapons now. Not only is that horrible for balance, but how many weapons are there in halo? Certainly not as much as in cod, so we might just be able to spawn with a shotgun or grenade launcher (like in Reach Invasion). If this indeed happens I’m done and im not buying any halo games ever again.

But hey lets wait till they show us more but for the moment im extremely sceptical.

I’d prefer it if there were no loadouts.
