Personal ordnance enabled?
What the flying -Yoink-?!
Well so much for some “big news”. The only thing I didn’t already know about in the bulletin was some of the things they said would be in the TU.

Its probably to drop AA’s like the v1 settings.

Don’t get your -Yoink!- in a bunch man. It’s just going to be either a hardlight shield, hologram or thruster pack each time if they go by AGL settings.

AAs should be on map.

AAs should not be in the game.
Yes I’m sure you know better than Walshy Strongside and Ghost what the settings should be.
This is the COMPETITIVE playlist if you don’t like the settings then don’t play. I’m pretty sure the pros know what there doing.

Yes, I obviously know what I want from the game better than professional game developers. Let alone “professional gamers”.
I do not even for a second believe they weren’t asked by 343 to include armor abilities for the sake of showing “343 was right”.
And the lack of shielding perk also shows that they have no idea what they are doing as Halo 4 has the shield recharge rate of Reach, yet it lacks the health system. As such shields should recharge faster to promote faster gameplay.
Personal ordnance… I hope it isn’t what I think it is.
I’ll never select hardlight. I use bj ans HS is only effective from distance.

Yes, they are. But in fairness, leave the ODs, AAs etc alone…just because someone is pro doesn’t mean those things have to been done away with. They don’t like them…don’t play.

You’re joking right? You clearly don’t know what you are talking about. Armour Abilities have been in almost all of the competitive settings created in halo 4 by the players.
Sad how people just some how find reasons to complain.
Great, Ghost got his Halo 2 settings in Halo 4. Great… The map choices are good, the gametypes themselves are good, but the settings including things like Ordinance (even just for AA’s), and only BR are just plain stupid. They should have 5 starting loadouts with BR, DMR, Carbine, LR and AR (so less skilled players can play too). Having less choice is just plain silly when the pro settings in other playlists atleast allow for DMR and BR. Bravo please be open to changes for this, and don’t just listen to AGL/MLG/Ghost’s settings. Those settings were lambasted upon release.

Obviously the Pros who are helping to create this playlist disagree with you. This IS the competitive playlist for Halo 4, so if you are not fan I guess we will see you later.
Thrusterpack starts need to happen.
Well 343, you did something Bungied never did. Stopped vehicle betraying. Considering this is your first game and that it only took you this long to figure it out, nice (looking at you bungie).

This man knows his stuff. Your Energy Shield recharges too slowly in this game, that needs to be addressed. The AA drops are more of a gimmick than anything else which can lead to slight randomness in some cases and so are not needed or desirable.

Please oh please tell me you are kidding…1 loadout is just fine in fact it is a refreshing change of pace. We do not need mulitple loadouts, one loadout insures people are on equal footing and it all comes down to the better team.
