b) Selecting load outs cannot be done but they can be written in to the mission if you get them prior to the mission start. I think also it would not be practical to have more than one loadout per side so anyone with a special flavour of ammunition they like or funny convergences will have to suck it up.

I think it's pretty cool though and great that Banks took the time to figure that stuff out.

As I mentioned above it appears that you can use hyperlobby coop slots as the "Lobby" and then launch the game from HL before loading Banks mission scripts to load the actual mission. Its a work-around on a work-around but I could certainly get it working easily enough when I tried it tonight.
