Asymmetry - I’ve lost count of how many posts I’ve made about it

I’m shouting into the void clearly.

I’m still completely blown away that someone actually thought “you know what would be cool? If we spawned each team with different weapons and gear, then randomly in the middle of a balanced game, throw one team a mongoose and the other a Scorpion!”

It’s more amazing that NO ONE in your many hours of play testing realized how bad this is???

If anything causes me to quit this game for good - it’s the bloody asymmetry.

Please tell me a fix is coming.

A lot of Halo Infinite is randomized and inconsistent. At this point, I’m starting to believe that was all according to their plan.

I haven’t really seen that since they made changes to it. Maybe I just don’t play a ton of BTB since matches take forever due to low BTB population. But still, generally each team gets a tank. Even if one is a wraith and one is a scorpion. Both sides get one. Perhaps one team might get their hands on both, but this game has a lot of anti vehicle weapons, such as: Disruptor, Shock Rifle, Dynamo Grenades, Grapple+grenades, hydra, and skewer.

Just got a Rampage because of this. Sorry if you were on the other team.

Hmm - I kinda get it. To be fair, there are many ways to neutralise a scorpion, so even if the other side gets one tank, it isn’t the end of the world (IMO).

And many ways to steal an enemy vehicle even if it lands in their side of the map. No kidding, I’ve been in a game where we were in possession of 3 tanks, and a wasp. I genuinely felt bad for the other team.

Maybe the game should track how many vehicles an enemy team is in possession of and drop more vehicles/more powerful vehicles on your side if it gets too imbalanced.

It was absolutely according to their plan

Nothing like playing a CTF match that lasts 17 minutes then one side gets a tank and the other a gun goose :joy:.

I’m convinced either 343i just flat out doesnt listen to QA or QA doesnt get paid enough to care.

OR

the slip space engine is such a CF that they can’t edit vehicle spawns for fear of nuking the whole game

OR

they are keeping the system in to eventually introduce p2w vehicle drops

Endless possibilities in this clown gaming world

Fam they’ve been doubling down on it, not fixing it. They don’t see a problem with it.

I don’t know who they listen to when it comes to making changes but it never seems to be anyone with good ideas. People were complaining about the random vehicle drops and weapon imbalances so they ADDED MORE RANDOM VEHICLE DROPS AND TOOK AWAY MULTIPLE WEAPON SPAWN POINTS

I am constantly in awe of the bad decisions being made

Considering they “fixed” it at the beginning of Season 2 and were then forced to unfix it when they patched out almost every new feature they released in Season 2 due to overwhelmingly negative community response, I think this could be a very reasonable explanation.

Anyways, as I already said too many times (I alwasy hope feedback gets taken into consideration), I think the Pelican Drops should be removed and never used again or used only as a visual effect to respawn a fixed spawning vehicle.
