As in everyone spawns with the same weapon and there is no choosing, no ordinance and weapons are scattered on the maps, along with no instant respawn or armor abilities (preferably no sprint)?
I would play the heck out of this playlist.
In other words, when will a Halo playlist be released?
I want to enjoy the new “halo(does it even deserve a halo name?)”, without going back to halo 3. I like halo 4, minus all of the above.
I’m not even sure if they can disable sprint.
No clue, was going to suggest that new competitive playlist coming will count for it. But the more i hear about it the more skeptical about it i am.
I’m too lazy to delve deep inside the ruins of the internet, but I could have sworn somewhere in the past, somebody of the 343 team said something along the lines that there would be a classic type playlist at launch.
If by “classic” they meant Team Slayer Pro, well that’s from from classic.
I would like to see that playlist, it will be interesting to see and will add variety. But theres no need to be sarcastic and disrespectful.
This game needs TWO classic playlists: 4vs4, and 8vs8.
Team throw down is coming.
> Team throw down is coming.
To be fair to people wanting a classic playlist. Team Throwdown is going to be like the MLG playlist in Halo 3. It won’t have radar. I’m glad there is going to be a competitive playlist and I’m going to be playing that playlist, but it’s not a classic playlist.
Unless the TU makes it possible to disable sprint then we will never see a true classic playlist.
It’s possible to remove I just don’t know if they will. Hackers disabled it so i can only imagine 343 can.
I do not really see any point in a classic playlist. In my opinion, the whole point in this game is to take halo in a new direction, and everyone needs to suggest how to improve on different mechanics and take out those that really ruin some aspects of the game( flinch, perk that speeds up armor recharge, weak vehicles, etc.).
The evolution of game franchise is based on the concept that some features must evolve while those that create unbalance.
I understand desiring a classic playlist, but i think the best choice would be to play halo 4. i do not want 343 to end up getting rid of sprint or loadouts, and i think that desiring a classic playlist will influence them to get rid of these mechanics and other features, but i respect the opinion of the creator of this thread and everyone else.
Just for you guys:

343 do you realize that this is a Halo game not a FPS game like CoD we don’t need any ardnance drops.We need a classic game type like Halo Reach had before you took over the Halo saga.The ordnance drops destroyed the map control and now you don’t need to find the weapons you just call in the weapon you what.Come on this is not CoD it’s Halo you can’t just order what ever you want!!!

You obviously didn’t read the post above and just blind-posted didn’t you? I gave this entire room the answer to a question they wanted. I’m pretty sure the discussion ends there.
im pretty sure that map control would still be there if personal ordnance was limited to only contain weapon classes that were not on the map. For example: shotgun in map = no scattershot or unsc shotgun in ordinance.

Actuality I did read it and I don’t give f*** about competitive game types like team doubles. I’m a social gamer and I want a classic slayer and a classic big team battle with out any ordnance drops.Just real vehicles and skill not a paper warthog that get destroyed in no time.That how we used to have fun back in the days of real Halo games.Now I rather go and play the real version of Halo 4-CoD black ops2

Um. Okay, right. So let me get this straight, everything you’re asking for is going to be in Team Throwdown (with the exception of bigger teams), and obviously you’re kind of slow and can’t read otherwise you’d see that even I hate all the stuff you mentioned, but this playlist takes ALL of that out so you get your classic Halo experience. Am I missing something or are you really that ignorant? When they say “Ordnance on resupply timer” that’s essentially the old school Halo experience with weapons being on the map and having to memorize and plan yourself accordingly.
As for the “classic” big team you have to remember “social” (casual) gamers complained when they screwed and spawn camped the entire match by people like me and friends I played with. I know you’re butt hurt which is why you’re getting so mad and I’ll admit, I’m disappointed too, but give this playlist a shot and if it doesn’t work for you then stop playing it. Don’t just go around raging like a blind kid on steroids without informing yourself first.
