I haven’t been keeping as up-to-date as usual with the planned updates. Could somebody inform me if despawn timers are ever going to be changed? I’ve been going for Splaser kills lately, and every time I get sniped, respawn, and run back to the scene of the crime, my weapon has despawned within what seems like 15 seconds. Just a minor annoyance, but I was curious if 343i had addressed it at all. Thanks, everybody!
I don’t think anything is planned at the moment.
That’s going to have to be the type of change that takes a full TU to change.
I agree with your sentiment though. The current despawn timers on the PWs makes sense. For IS and BTIS. But for the rest of the gametypes it doesn’t. Bodies last longer than dropped weapons. If the 360 is nearing it’s resource capacity then there are still other things that can and should be taking priority over PWs. Bodies, normal weapons and then finally the PWs.
