Halo 4 multiplayer preview (Digital Spy): WarGames is the fastest online Halo yet

Digital Spy writes: "WarGames - the name for competitive multiplayer - contextualises one of Xbox 360's most popular past times by making it become a training simulator on board the Infinity spaceship. One of the confirmed modes, Infinity Slayer, is faster-paced than what we've seen in Halo previously but retains the treasured Halo fundamentals - from sandbox gameplay to fan-favourite weapons."

Wait. No more rushing for the sniper? You mean it's possible that everybody will just start with a BR and Sniper? :/

For me that was a big part of the game. I remember so well dropping back on Valhalla and getting the sniper and then also all the times you'd rush for/walk past a gun spot and notice the great gun there like rockets and get to use it...not having that and copying COD with classes will ruin one of the best parts of the game that made it interesting because you sometimes weren't ready for a gun fight, but sometimes were. Terrible idea gameplay wise, it should never have changed.

No no no, power weapons still drop in.

Well at least now you wont have the cry babies on your team that will melee you for stealing "their" sniper.

You can't start with power weapons. All of the power weapons are dropped into the maps as ordinance, similar to the ordinance drops in firefight.

The whole "power weapon drop" thing is for one gametype "Infinity Slayer."

Default slayer and other gametypes will still have map power weapon spawns.
