I’ve been playing a couple of games today on the backup hoppers, so everyone is SR1, default armor, predefined loadouts (AR/Magnum, DMR/Magnum). It’s fun, it’s a lot of fun. What I mean is, not having custom loadouts in non-competitive playlists really shows that this game has potential, and a lot of it. (imo) This is the way Halo 4 should’ve launched to begin with, it levels the playing field.
I like it too.
BR would be nice though.
Ive alwayshonestly wanted the lassic Halo return but iwth ordinance only being or AA’s ijust dont beliveits increadibally craptastickly bad as people mak it out to be.
Im going to get on Halo 4now to see imma enjoy this 
luuuuv it. it’s classic again
It’s kind of funny how the best experience for Halo 4 is when the game isn’t working as intended.

lolz 
I agree. I came on and managed two games before deciding to call it a night and letting all the server issues sort themselves out. They were two quite enjoyable games.
Hinthint 343i, ditch personal loadouts in all but Infinity playlists, and scrap the idea in Halo 5 hinthint.
I was actually having fun too. Everyone basically has the same armor ability and armor mods. It was fun to play with a level playing field.
I hope 343 makes a playlist like this in the future maybe adding a br loadout.

In all seriousness, that’s really really bad to say. It’s quite laughable as well. I’m actually going to play now, until they get the servers working again. After that, I’m off.

Sadly, I agree with you.
I think its great. I drove a Warthog over the center hill of Ragnarok today with little fear of Plasma Pistols or sticky grenades and it was like a giant weight was lifted off my chest.
This is amazing. Please DONT fix the server issue 343

Well the thing with that is that stats don’t get recorded, exp is limited to the offline cap, etc. 343… just give us a classic playlist.

i dont care. I already got to SR130 and i would much rather have the game where it is fun and playable with no stats rather than boring and non-playable with stats
This was a great test of the theory. But I have to say, after a few games it gets old quick. I just had my first game where one team in slayer actually won before time ran out.
Overall i feel the action is slower. Equal, sure. But man it got old fast for me.
Still, I get where you’re coming from. Hopefully 343 can learn a few lessons from this and split things up… Maybe each game type has a traditional loadout/no personal ordinance and personal loadout/ordinance variant.
I agree. Lets make this a permanent thing. I love playing Halo 4 even with all the extras, but this has been a breath of fresh air.
Put these settings in all playlist. Have custom Load outs for custom games only if they want them. Place more non power weapons on the maps for pick ups and I think we really have a winner here! Even Infinity Slayer plays better like this.
Well, I feel a little jipped since Team Throwdown has quickly become my favorite playlist, and now I can’t play it.
Play slayer pro, not the same but close enough

Team Throwdown has a variety of gamemodes and more diverse map selections along with BR-only starts. I just prefer those way more than TSP.
