smh throwing weapon balance out the window

Did someone say weapon balance in BTB?

I prefer my BTB games like this:

In all seriousness though, Dax has a point. Vehicles don't stand a chance, especially with how frequently the laser spawns.

SMG starts in the year 2014 boys and girls!

This is what I'm fearing. Still waiting on playlist info and I hope we get the gametype variety within that specific playlist and how voting/vetoing works...

But I'm sorta expecting there to be a 4 game (or 5 counting H2A) encompasing Team Slayer playlist. And I fully expect to be playing SMG starts on Ascension, AR starts on Guardian, Ar starts on Abandon etc.

Then there will be community backlash asking for a BR/precision weapon playlist or more weighting on BR start gametypes and it will eventually get put in.

As it happened in Halo 2, 3, and Reach...
 
With five games pooled together like balls in a lottery cement mixer expect all non standard playlists to be the TU/Vanilla, 3 shot, 4 shot, 5 shot pistol split over clocked on steroids in space.

If Halo 4 gets voted for in the snipers playlist I'm Dragon's Den out. Lol flinch.
 
Big Team Battle

Battle it out in 16-player warfare with vehicles across Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, and Halo 2: Anniversary. 8v8.

What's wrong with that?




Biggest thing I noticed:

Team Slayer


Eliminate the enemy team across four Halo games: Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 2: Anniversary. Nothing but Team Slayer, 24/7. 4v4.


No Halo 4 in Team Slayer. I suppose that's because of Infinity settings however it would have been nice to have the legendary slayer variant in that playlist.

I wasn't expecting too much but I was kind of hopping for more than one hopper dedicated to each game. Like a pure Halo 2 BTB or Halo 2 Rumble Pit, etc. I imagine stuff like that may come in time though.

There'd just be too many playlists.


I imagine we'll see weekly playlists like that, maybe Infection playlists as well. 343 have been pretty excellent in that regard with Halo 4.

1 BTB playlist for all 4 games? wat

Man, more console games really need to start using server browsers.

Ugh, I hate server browsers. You're left with almost all the servers playing 3 or 4 of the most popular options and maybe a couple more with no one in them.


I've always preferred the more structured approach of matchmaking. Makes finding games with friends easier as well.

I think its a pretty good playlist setup for launch at least. Each playlist will have a healthy amount of players, I'm sure they'll continue to update playlists on a regular basis.

Team Slayer will be awesome, 4v4 Halo 1-3 + H2A!

Eh, not bad to start with. As long as 343 continue to update them, it's fine.

I'll likely be in Anniversary Social most of the time.
