Ranked doubles in particular is becoming a bit rough to play with the frequency and speed of power weapon spawns. Increase the timer for the power weapons (sword in particular) to spawn. Also you shouldn’t be able to have more than one on the map at a time.

Just get rid of sword and hammer in doubles. There’s plenty of variety in weapons without those two.

What, you don’t like Team Swords?
The playlist (at least for Ranked) is badly broken with power weapon spawns. Radio silence on any patches, though.
Alternatively I think they could experiment with spawning weapons like Sword or Hammer with 50% Battery. They do spawn Rockets with only 2 in the tube for certain modes, even in previous Halos.
With how powerful the Sword is in Infinite, much more so than any other Halo game, they could try spawning it with 50% battery to stop it from being too oppressive. Often times in the maps that 343 has designed right now there are so many corners and LoS breaks that a Sword holder is gonna get away with 10 free kills easy, and doubles just means lesser enemies shooting you, allowing you to retain your streak much easily.
