(Someone in a lobby sparked this idea in me, so sorry I don't remember who you are!)
Note that the settings I'm proposing would be only used for remake maps. Specifically CE/H2/H3.
With trying to find a Construct remake last battle, and a Guardian remake this week, there's been a lot of talk about remakes. Whenever anyone is talking about a map that was remade in Halo 4, there are always complaints along the lines of:
- That map worked well in CE/H2/H3/Reach, but the DMR breaks it.
- That map worked well in CE/H2/H3/Reach, but the Jetpack breaks it.
- That map worked well in CE/H2/H3/Reach, but Sprint breaks it.
- That map worked well in CE/H2/H3/Reach, but spawning with Plasma Pistols ruins the vehicle combat.
- That map worked well in CE/H2/H3/Reach, but spawning with Plasma Grenades ruins the vehicle combat.
- That map worked well in CE/H2/H3/Reach, but the Boltshotters ruin the former awesomeness.
- That map worked well in CE/H2/H3/Reach, but the Camo-crouching snipers ruin the former awesomeness.
So, with that in mind, here comes my suggestion:
How about, for maps that are remade from past games, we have a set of "Classic" gametypes to go along with them? Some of you may say that we have plenty of gametypes already, (and we don't want to give Myth more work!) but honestly part of being "Classic" would be no personal ordnance, which (I believe) is the most time consuming thing with editing gametypes anyways. I'd even volunteer to be the one to post them on my file share, if that were an issue.
There are few settings details that might need to be hammered out/voted on, but in general I'd say:
- No personal ordnance.
- No personal loadouts.
- No armor abilities.
- (Possibly) use the modded gametypes have sprint disabled.
- Either BR/AR start or have a preset loadout for each.
- Primary: Assault Rifle/Battle RIfle
- Secondary: Magnum
- Grenade: Frag
- Armor Ability: N/A
- Tactical: Resupply
- Support: Explosives? (debatable)
Anyway, let me know what you guys think about the possibility! Again, my proposal is that these setting would be used only for remake maps.
