1. I have been playing Halo since Halo 2
2. I am an above average Halo player
3. I think Halo 4 is one of the best Halos, so your point is invalid
4. Most MLG pros love the custom loadouts
5. I agree on SOME maps, but if you know good maps, you will know Haven is a masterpiece
6. If games don't change, they stay the same and get boring after awhile
7. Ordnance seems pretty logical based on the large scaled maps
8. BTB Infinity Slayer has more players than Infinity Slayer
9. Wait for an MLG playlist, Reach didn't have one right away either
10. Why are you spreading your opinions that you know will anger a lot of people on a COMMUNITY Forum
11. Halo: PC and Halo 2 had spawns that would always get me spawn killed
12. Every weapon for loadouts are completely balanced (The precision weapons) even though I dislike the Light Rifle
13. The only thing that you have said that even makes logical sense to me is the map scale. I do love those small competitive maps
14. We all know 343i listens to the fans a bit more than Bungie does, I mean, ffs, they give WEEKLY title updates.
15. If there is going to be a community made map playlist, they surely will take some remakes and competitive maps
16. Do not forget that there will be a true-skil ranking system (basically identical to Halo 3's) in 2013, only VISIBLE via Waypoint
Your complaining will do very little here, go to halo.xbox.com if you want something to change. Either play the damn game or go back to Halo 3. I understand 100% how you feel about this, I too would like to see competitive maps back, but give 343i a chance. This is their FIRST Halo game, they will be making at least two more games. If you don't want to go play Halo 3 because it isn't "new" then that is nobody's problem but yours.
