Loadout

Loadouts are classes that a player picks at both the beginning of a multiplayer match and during respawn in Halo: Reach.

Overview
When a game begins the player is given the option of choosing a particular loadout. Loadouts are gametype specific and vary between playlists, meaning players cannot create their own custom loadout to bring to Matchmaking. They can, however, create custom loadouts for Custom Games and user-created Firefight modes. Each loadout has particular weapon, grenade, and Armor Abilities combinations.
