Ever since the Weapons Tuning has came out, what changes did you make? I’ve been using the Carbine and AR whenever I play the regular playlists (even in BTB I’ve been using the Carbine a bit.) So, what about you guys?
I’ve switched to mostly using Carbine/Dexterity/Hologram/AA Efficiency. I might change to the ammo perk because I keep running out of Carbine ammo after all my killing sprees.
Everything has stayed the same simply because I never abused broken mechanics.
Still rockin’ the DMR and AR. Saw on ordinance is very sweet too.
Absolutely nothing, all of my loadouts are the same as they were the instant i made SR-130 back in… december i think?
Nothing, and nothing will change because I will not play this game’s matchmaking until there’s a Team Slayer playlist where I cannot use loadouts.

you wont play matchmaking, but you still go to the extent of customizing your spartan? and its a bit biased to not play just because there is loadouts, in case you are not aware, there is no “perfect loadout” even with the Plasma Pistol + Plasma Grenade combo, its still not unable to be countered, its only a danger to vehicles, and even then smart drivers/pilots can avoid it.
Give matchmaking a try, you might just be shocked as to how enjoyable it is, especially post TU.
After the movement speed buff, I switched up my long range class. Instead of AC and AA Effiency, I went back to thruster pack and mobility. Gotta get to cover quicker when those Carbines and LRs start pinging me. 
My close-mid range class saw a few switches. I found myself running out of ammo on my BR, so I threw ammo back on, as much as I love dexterity. Also…more mobility. Shielding wasn’t cutting it for me.

Customizing my Spartan? I did that months ago. I quit playing MW2 and all of CoD because I discovered how cheap and skill-deteriorating Custom Loadouts are. Now Halo 4 has custom loadouts, so I quit playing since they are cheap and skill-deteriorating. On both occasions I had to spend plenty of time playing Halo 3/Reach until I got close to where I was before.
I have no reason to play Halo 4 at this point in time, other than the occasional custom game. It has nothing new to offer that the other Halo games didn’t have, except for something that is the opposite of how Halo multiplayer has always been. If the game ever gets good matchmaking playlists, gametypes, vehicles, etc. then I’ll come back.
BR+AR combo ftw.

Team Throwdown is the place if you want balance, it doesn’t remove loadouts but everyone is on even grounds, and all it takes is skill to win.
Not a damn thing.
Also… My Carbine beats your Battle Rifle 
I haven’t changed anything and still use Firepower with the DMR as primary and BR as secondary. The only reason being is that I haven’t played much of anything other than BTIS for weeks on end.

I have never liked MLG or similar settings. However, that does not mean I want that madness that is Infinity settings.
4v4 slayer - Pro-vision/efficiency has gone in favour of thruster/mobility. I just want to stay alive!
BTB - Depends which map, but usually Pro-vision and gunner.
Also depends on the host and lag. Sometimes I think mobility with three sticky grenades would be a better option!
Surely with half of the players in the same city, you’d think one would get host…
Before:
LightRifle
Storm Rifle
Pulse Grenade
Autosentry
Firepower
Stability
After:
LightRifle
Storm Rifle
Pulse Grenade
Autosentry
Firepower
Stability
So… Nothing changed. And will never need changed.
Absolutely NO change.

I hate to beat a VERY DEAD HORSE. but seriously, stow away the nostalgia for a few minutes and adapt to the way the game is. It is not a bad game, just because it is not everyone spawning with the same crappy AR like Reach was, doesn’t mean that it isn’t a good game. All custom loadouts does is allow people to start with BALANCED weapons off spawn, its not like CoD where you have classes, not even close.
The most powerful thing you can spawn with is the boltshot, and that is restricted to an extremely low range. its not like you can spawn with rockets and shotguns. and you cant spawn with sniper rifles either.
It annoys me that people are so buttsore about the small details. if you want “classic” weapon starts, then by all means set up your loadouts to have grenade pickups, AR starts, Magnum, and frag grenades, and no AA. you aren’t hurting my feelings any. I will use my 7sk carbine 
My first loadout is the same with the DMR, Plasma Pistol, Plasma Grenades, AC, Mobility, and Dexterity. However, for the second, I kept the DMR, and replaced the plasma with the Light Rifle.
