Where is it?
Pre Launch we were told that there would be a classic playlist available at launch?
IMO the classic playlist should be H4, just if it were made properly. Like a real halo game.
Keep sprint and AAs and custom classes. That’s all core to the H4 experience.
The classic playlist however should have weapons on the map, static weapon spawns and respawn times.
There isn’t a straight slayer game type… only infinity slayer. They lied to us.

There’s slayer pro. But most people are not going to play something that cuts out almost all of the game and has no radar.
Classic should use all that is H4(except ordinance), just in a logical fashion.

Exactly why I don’t like it. 6 regular weapons are cut out as well as some of the power weapons. And no radar.
So I agree, we need something like classic slayer or just regular team slayer. TBH I’d prefer pre-set loadouts or no loadouts at all in order to eliminate the advantage of higher ranks.
The speed at which weapons despawn sucks as well, seeing that their on no weapons on map. When am having a great game, I often find I need to go get killed for sum bloody ammo!

That would break any sense of “classic”. The classic playlists should be true to it’s classic ancestors; no sprint, respawn timers, weapons spawn on map w/ a set timer, no ordinance, no loadouts, ect.
They wouldn’t release a classic playlist straight away, that would be like admitting that the improvements that they made were bad, not that they are.
In a month or two they will release classic slayer.
It’s like when you get married.
Before marriage your girl promises you that she will let you go THERE and she will DO THAT after you marry her but when you finally get married EVERYTHING promised doesnt happen. And even the normal stuff ends up being worst.
I’m whatever about allowing players to choose their starting primary, but keep Boltshots and Plasma Pistols on the map. Force Frag Nades and Resupply, with no second perk. Then put weapons on the map and get rid of the awful ordinance system.
Slayer Pro is not classic, nor is it pro. I shouldn’t get a Binary Rifle because of luck.
These forums confuse me. You people want a Classic playlist but want to keep AAs, custom classes and sprint?
I think everyone is confusing 343, that is why there is no “classic” playlist.
Slayer Pro was made for people who wanted a more streamlined experience al a Halo 3. Now people are saying they want Halo 4, just with elements cut out.
Maybe the reason 343 hasn’t made it yet is because you people can’t make up your minds.
Can’t have classic when everything in the game revolves around ordnance drops. Seriously, the entire concept of power weapon control is gone now that the power weapons spawn one at a time randomly on the map in order to limit an overload of them due to PODs. That’s why Slayer Pro sucks -Yoink-, because its all starting weapons, no power weapons at all.

I’m confused…
Slayer Pro uses classic weapon spawns like Reach and Halo 3. The power weapons spawn in the same place at the same time every time.
Abandon for example. The Scattershot always spawns down stairs in the main center building. It is also on a timer. Hence, “Classic Spawns”.
On Adrif, the Sword will always spawn in the center under the Mech in Slayer Pro. It too is on a timer like classic Power Weapons.

I agree primary weapons despawn too fast, but because of instant respawn I can see why PWs despawn quickly.

Well, IMO H4 Classic should be H4 with a classic feel. Not a straight up copy of past games.
Mainly because the maps were made with H4 gameplay in mind and getting rid of stuff like sprint would ruin them. Plus I fail to see how choosing to spawn with a lightrifle instead of a BR is game breaking.

I’ve never played slayer pro because of the lack of radar but from what i’ve heard most of the PW spawns use the completely nonsensical 120-340 second spawn windows.
