So a combat evolved medal is earned when you use a plasma grenade to blast a power weapon off it’s platform and catch it (or come close to catching it)… I have managed to do it, most of the time I didn’t even need to do it, but pulling it off in a situation where it was needed was sweet… anyways got me thinking… would you approve or disapprove of a map that had a power weapon in a location where the only way to get it was via “combat evolved”? Would make a pretty interesting aspect of a map I would say but I pretty sure it’s never been done at least in regular match making.
That would be pretty neat, however I think it would have to be put in some unranked playlist or used maybe in BTB. I dont like the idea of it being in ranked gameplay. It goes counter to what ranked gameplay is about. Very cool idea would be awesome to see implemented, made even cooler by the fact it would mean a new map being introduced into matchmaking.
I think there should always be a way to physically grab something off spawn. Doing it that way would make things a lot more complicated cause you need to find grenades, actually hit the weapon and then do it so it comes towards you.
Might be better if it was just in a high risk location instead. The sniper spawn on Hang 'Em High is a good example of that. It’s up high in the middle of the map and requires you to traverse a good distance completely exposed in order to get it. This led to people figuring out how to nade it to them instead of taking the risk to grab it off the spawn.

Yeah definitely a soical play… Heck the way ranked is going there won’t be any power weapons in it before too long it will just be pistols. But I think it would be cool to have in a BTB or something like that.

But in social play it’s basically giving the “good” or “seasoned” players an advantage since they can access a power weapon that most of the population wouldn’t even know about.
I don’t see a point in widening skill gaps with out-of-reach weapons. Ranked or social.

It wouldn’t that it wouldn’t be known about it. Players would be able to see it. They would just have to be able to land a grenade in the right place to blast it into a playable area. Social can have skill aspects to it.

I just wonder what percentage of halo 5s population has that medal and what percentage knows how to earn it. I imagine both are quite low.
The map would need someway to communicate to get the weapon with a thrown sticky and frags won’t work.
I think this is an interesting idea. I’m tempted to make a map based around the idea of it (probably just a greyboxed concept map cuz I suck at aesthetics) just to see how it goes.
I forgot to add, but I like the Alley Oop medal better. I agree with Cover. Not everyone is gonna know that you can do that which is another negative.
I like the idea. Putting power weapons on pads took away the advantage of timing power weapons. Having some of them only accessible through a combat evolved would restore some of the payoff to players who want to learn more about the game mechanics
It could be a cool gimmick on a BTB map to have something like a SPNKr Prime or Answer way up there where you have to Combat Evolve it. But you have to be really exposed to throw a grenade up there to knock it down.
For customs that would be neat. Social even but ranked? I mean I could see it being a thing but I don’t think it would. People take ranking too seriously anywho a little fun like that would be amazing
Pretty awesome idea! Something like that in Social/BTB would be amazing and purely worth it for all the user videos that are+ going to be posted showing two teams of Spartans frantically throwing grenades at an unassuming cliff edge. It has to be a special power weapon as NightClerk suggests, though. Putting in all that effort for a “regular” power weapon just doesn’t seem right.
