My reply to another thread turned into something that should get its own.
Slayer and BTB are almost unplayable now because there’s constantly “Pro” options, sometimes all three, and they seem to always get voted for. Twice in an hour in BTB I got two DLC maps (which means the whole lobby actually had the DLC!) with Slayer, or a forge map with Slayer Pro. The latter won both times. That’s just sad.
Slayer Pro needs to be removed from Team Slayer and BTB right now. If people want their precision weapons so much, and I do tend to use a BR in BTB they can spawn with them anyway. And if you’re going to use a precision weapon anyway, Slayer Pro is just more boring Slayer. Everyone loses.
The only good thing about Pro is the lack of Ordnance in BTB, but they should just remove Pro and Ordnance from normal Slayer.
> Slayer Pro is good but they do need to remove vehicles from Big Team slayer pro.
You are out of your mind. The whole point of Big Team Slayer Pro was to give vehicles a fighting chance, in a gametype where you can’t start with Plasma Pistols or Plasma Grenades.
What they need to do is enable Motion Trackers for Big Team Slayer Pro.

There seems to be a disconnect between these two statements.
Why would the majority vote for a playlist they enjoy the least? I’d contend the opposite is true.
For people who love precision weapons only, there’s already Team Snipers and SWAT, as well as the competitive Team Doubles and Team Throwdown playlists. Can we please keep our Slayer/BTB playlists Slayer only?
I’d like at least one playlist where I can just play normal, standard Slayer. And where I can vote for the map I really want, and not have to vote for the only option that has the gametype I want to play, if there even is one.

You obviously suck with vehicles because they dominate big team. And Pro is about how good you are on foot. It has no room for vehicles. There are no radars and you can’t even see if a ghost is behind you. What does that have to with pro?
Pro settings in a casual playlist is a bad idea to begin with.
Having pro maps that haven’t been edited in over 6 months is also bad.
Taking Adrift for example, I’m not sure if the initial weapon spawns are static or not, since I almost never see them in play, but they are all boring. We need Shotguns, Railguns, Snipers and most importantly, rockets with static weapon spawns to encourage map flow and pacing.
Slayer Pro is something that needs to be forced simply due to the fact that 343 will most likely remove or completely change the infinity setting in Halo 5 since a whole lotta people didn’t like it.At least i hope so, its just my speculation which doesn’t mean jack.
Slayer Pro has something that infinity settings just can’t offer, balance and fairness.I do agree that they should add in a couple default classes for the AR and SR.To the person who said something about a ghost coming from behind them without a radar to use, headphones and turn volume up.Ghosts are loud and obnoxious sounding.
Personally i wish 343 would just delete every infinity setting they have from every computer and make the Pro setting standard.Motion Radar is the worst possible thing to have ever existed in any FPS game, campaign its understandable.Never liked the Radar in multiplayer since CE, cheapest thing ever to exist lol.Canon or not it should just go away in multiplayer.
I stopped playing Halo 4 due to lag and the infinity playlist being forced down my throat if i just wanted to play slayer.How do you think i felt OP, so you will get no sympathy from me.I’ll tell you what everyone who liked the IS playlist told me and everybody else that hated the IS playlist.Deal with it and adapt.
My problem isn’t with the settings of Slayer Pro (no Infinity stuff), I actually like that, though Radar should be added. My issue is that it’s precision weapons only.
What I would like to see is Pro replaced by non-Infinity Slayer, where there’s no Ordnance. That way the playlist would be Team Slayer, and the options would be with or without Ordnance.
Or, if there’s going to be a game mode for just the four long range weapons, there should be an identical game mode along with it that has just the three (should be four) automatics.
