I was just playing a game of Slayer Pro, and I realized, besides the absence of the motion tracker, it feels like the classic slayer mode we all know and love (and miss). We actually had to work as a team, and I noticed more map control and strategy. Plus vehicles were actually relevant since we didn’t spawn with plasma pistols or plasma grenades. If 343 makes a few tweaks and gives Slayer Pro its own playlist, we just might get the classic Slayer mode we’ve been asking for.
It did have a playlist at launch. Long story short: it still had random ordinance, and failed miserably.
The loadouts ruin it for me. The absence of everything else Infinity related is awesome though.
Remove loadouts, give us equal starts, add motion tracker and you have Team Slayer.
Forgot about that. Well hopefully 343 will get it right this time.
God I hope that Legendary Slayer is a classic Team Slayer playlist. Basically pro settings with motion tracker. I could live with the limited loadout options although AR starts with magnum secondary and weapons on the maps would be ideal. Throw in some team BR’s as an option and BAM, you have Team Slayer again.

Why BR’s?
My only problem with Slayer Pro getting it’s own playlist is population.
This game has 30000 people on at it’s peak times, and lets not even mention the abysmal population in low times.
Would the community support it? Sure, but that’d mean less players in other playlists, and other longer search times for everyone…
Still, I’m all for it if 343i thinks it will survive.
