: One thing I thought about loadout utility is they could serve as an in-game
: voting option for starts--BR or AR, things of that nature. That way you're
: only voting for base gametype and map at the highest level.

Are you saying that you don't want people voting for maps and gametypes until, what, level 50?

Wouldn't work, because nobody is open to trying new things its always the same, BRs with pistols and frags. and people who arn't good with that set or doesn't want to do it again would get overwhelmed every. single. time.

And now to voice my conflicting thoughts...

I'm actually kind of disappointed how bend over backwards 343i is being with Halo 5, instead of trying to fix the flaws that Halo 4 had with its gameplay and make it an overall better system they look like they just saying "okay okay you win, you don't like change everythings back to Halo 2 sort of, plz come back and play Halo ;_;" with that recent vidoc.

I don't like COD gameplay being mimicked as much either, but this was a series that started with the title "Combat Evolved" but it doesn't feel like we have been evolving as of late more like going backwards.

Sometimes I get a Smash bros pro mlg vibe from Halo players, I'm sure we have an equivalent of "No items, starfox only, final destination" somewhere and those players are the ones I fear the most because they are the most loud in this community, they will get their way theirs allot of them and 343i is listening to the majority.

Mind you I'm still fully hype train'd for Halo 5 nothing is gonna kill that just that this pit in my stomach is telling me to get used to H2A's gameplay I feel that its going to be more of the same come the beta, hopefully some future pre-beta gameplay footage changes that.
