I thought to this myself long ago. I hoped 343 to swap power weapons on the map, but did not happened. Am I the only one that thinks same power weapons are overused? Such as Sniper Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Caster, Hydra, etc. Instead of using same weapons over and over on the different maps, place Gravity Hammer, Incineration Cannon, Binary Rifle, SAW, or Spartan Laser.
My opinion on those weapons:
S. Laser: too underpowered for small arena maps
Saw: why when we have op storm rifles and smgs
Binary: doesn’t require headshots for a kill
Incin cannon: rockets with the potential for more kills than regular rockets. We don’t need that
Gravity hammer: doesn’t have the lunge of the sword but compensates with a massive AoE. I would think this would promote even more corner camping which we don’t need more of.
For the reasons I have listed I don’t believe these would be good additions in arena but I’m open to hearing others opinions.
Well I will say that the Spartan Laser really doesn’t have much of a place in H5 Arena… unless it’s in BTB. A lot of these weapons are in BTB actually…
A couple of these weapons aren’t really suited for the 4v4 Arena style though… the others just don’t really provide much of a unique purpose. The SAW? It’s just a more powerful automatic with a little more range… Meh. It could be a bit OP and it’s a little uninteresting all the same. Idk…

I am not saying Spartan Laser should be added, I wrote it to show there are other weapons to use instead of Sniper Rifle everywhere.
Team beyond forums is a great place to see what people think of changing power weapons. I don’t necessarily know what you’re wanting. Are you wanting them to have new maps with power weapons that aren’t used? Or monthly resets of power weapons replacing already existing ones? If you’re asking for new maps with power weapons that aren’t used, I can agree. But to the former, nope, it completely changes how some maps play depending on the weapon, not to mention some are iconic and are simply a must to have.

Spartan Laser: I agree
SAW: Could be weapon without extra magazine, means no reload, until another SAW spawns.
Binary Rifle: It takes 2~3 seconds to kill enemy.
Incineration Cannon: It will add variety to the game and I see why not.
Gravity Hammer: Could be side power weapon like Needler and Enegry Sword. Camping is not a really problem in this game.

I want both.

I realize…
I like that they keep switching up some of the maps and the weapon spawns to test new things out
I prefer variety.

I don’t think the saw adds variety but if implemented I think it should be weapon pad only like on empire strongholds. The binary kill time is only 1.5 secs, I don’t believe they’ve patched it so here is my source. I guess I will concede the incineration cannon, I just personally wouldn’t like it. I suppose whether or not camping is a problem is debatable and dependent on the map. On maps like overgrowth, molten, Riptide and torque I believe that the hammer would definitely encourage corner camping. Personally I experienced it when the hammers were on torque.
I think so too.

Whether you or I don’t like certain weapons, I am stating that power weapons on the weapon pad should be diverse. There are too many Sniper Rifles and Rocket Launchers on the map as power weapon. It’s not like Halo 5 has only two power weapons. There are more that could be used instead using same weapons over and over.

Snipers are almost every arena map but rockets are only on three (that I can think of off the top of my head). I see what you mean about the sniper but realistically what map would you replace it with the binary? What about rail gun and caster, they also spread over several maps. I don’t think there’s much variety to add in terms of weapon pads but I think utilizing other reqs as non weapon pad power weapons would serve your purpose. For example, why not the blood of suban instead of the Hydra?
