First and fore most this is NOT a bash halo 4 and bash 343i post. I just want some answers as a fan of the series!
I don’t know how many people have been saying this or not, but ordnance drops are not bad. The way they are done in halo 4 however is terrible. Take out power weapons from ordnance drops and place them back on the map. Stop taking playlists away from us and just leave them, specifically team snipes and team hardcore. It makes no sense to take these away. Many people want the halo 2 days back, but I doubt that will happen. I just wish for the team “fiesta” style of play to be gone (ie the ordnance drops with power weapons)
I cannot begin to tell you how frustrating it is to run into a team that has got 3 snipers and a binary rifle all from the ordnance drops at the same time. This is broken and an epic fail. I love Halo 4 for weapon balance and game pace. I hate the way the ordnance drops are made at high levels of play it breaks the game as it is designed.
One last thing that I have to say. I have heard the rank 1-50 will be coming in April like the Halo 2 days. A big problem that I see with this is the join in progress system. Like people are saying when I join a game in progress 99% of the time it is within the last few seconds of the game where I join a team that is loosing. This will destroy your rank in a win/loose ranking system. I simply can’t see this working.
So 343i I ask you how are you going to address this? It seems that most of the competitive players hate the ordnance system as it is now, and want power weapons to spawn on map again. Why won’t you let this happen? What are your plans for the fans who love the game but hate a lot of the implementation? There is so much promise in this game I just would like to see some things change to make the game more dependent on skill instead of a random binary rifle and rockets dropping for the opposing team that just got lucky on their ordnances. It is far to random.
For those that read this and have seen responses from 343i any chance you can point the article or post out about it.
Here is hoping that things change.
