I just feel that Power Weapons in Pro seems a bit unfair cause half of the time people use that and camp in the back or something like that. I think it should be removed and have it weapon to weapon.
Power weapons promote movement around the map. Regularly-spawning weapons give players a reason to not just sit back and wait for kills to come to them. They also create encounters against players trying to control said weapons.
On certain maps(read: Landfall & Monolith), there are just too many weapons that are far too powerful and spawn too quickly. There is no reason to have 4 Rockets spawn every 2 minutes, on top of anything else that drops.
Power weapons also promote tactical play that requires you to work with your team mate to gain map control

I can understand that. But half of time its a fight to get them and if it’s pro game type people run for a power weapon and end the game with kills with the power weapons while a team mate of mine would end with our weapons. Personally I run after them but if you don’t have then your at a complete disadvantage. For example Abandon with doubles pro, people either run for the sniper or railgun. then afterwords they stay in the middle cause “Pro MLG” lol. At least if I am playing Infinity doubles I can spot these bk quickly and be done with it. On top of complete weapon unbalaced people run a dmr or a br which tells me inside “why have carbine and lightrifle”? Perhaps I should record a match and have that as a example. Maybe it’s my misfortune, who knows. Actually I like fighting for a power weapons but I run around and hunt then not hide with them. Pro doesn’t have radar so gives people a reason to camp.

The whole point is that it’s a fight fr the weapons. It gives an advantage to the team able to properly control the map and prevent the other from getting weapons.
Halo is much more than just 1v1 BR battles.

Why does it have to be BR battles, oh wait weapon balance like I said before. Actually now that I think of it, It is a pointless game type that shouldn’t be there. Your probably the typical Pro player who hogs the power weapons and camps there until it spawns and thus destroying players. And why is always placed first before anything in voting, no variety. At least Infinity Slayer has a balanced way of getting power weapons, still fighting for it and your team doesn’t suffer from it. You can actually fight back. 2v2 pro with power weapons is a joke.

Nice ad hominem attacks you got there.
It doesn’t have to be BRs, it could be any weapon. But why does it have to be starting weapon vs starting weapon? Power weapons are supposed to give the advantage to whoever controls them. There is no need to get salty over something that has been a part of the game since day 1.
Infinity is in no way “balanced” in terms of weapon distribution simply because it is random. The game decides for you what you’re getting, and there is no real way to stop someone from getting a weapon or even tell what is in play.

“It doesn’t have to be BRs” Okay then tell me why does everyone most of the time use two weapons all the time, there is a reason why a weapon balance update is coming out. And let me spell this out for you I said “Doubles Pro” for the third time no other game type. I am only complaining about that, I actually enjoy playing Team Throwback, while it has that “Pro” feel I guess, at least its more than two people fighting for power weapons and winning a game over it and mostly camping with no radar. Radar plays a big impact in a game if you didn’t notice another thing that has been in a game along with no radar. Balance doesn’t mean I have to know where each weapon spawns and bunker down and wait and If I get killed. I laugh at people who do that. How I know this another example i play doubles pro on Haven and I run for sticky detonator, you know what I do then I have my team mate run over and stop anyone who is gonna get the railgun or speed boost. then I put a stick on the railgun and wait cause I know people always run to a power weapon, so I hunt them down and I am about ehh about half way toward where the sticky spawns and guess what? Both of his teammates run over and pick it up and I detonate it and well guess what double kill. Then they actually start paying attention to us now and played very well without hogging a power weapon all the time. Yeah they used a BR/DMR which is still broke idc what anyone says and I used a carbine and my teammate use I think either a BR or a LightRifle not sure.
Stupid iPad hit yes. There shouldn’t be as many as there are. Once you get the rail gun half the time you lock down the game,

3 things:
-CE was 2v2s without radar and was not campy.
-Radar promotes camping.
-You complain about people camping weapon spawns, while you do the exact same thing.
I think the power weapons should have reduced ammo like in reach. I don’t remember how it was in 3. That way if you have the ammo perk you only the get regular amount of ammo or less. I hate when I’m playing with my friend (who isn’t great) and we lose rockets in the first 30 seconds and the other team just hovers around rocket spawn. I don’t have alot of incentive to walk into almost certain death. Especially when they might have the ammo perk.
I remember how many games we lost in doubles in reach because the sword had 10 hits in it.
Please reduce PW ammo in doubles. I can understand being punished for not getting power weapons first but getting completly dominated is a lil rediculous.
power weapons in doubles is like playing texas holdem with pocket rockets. nice chance you win. next hand? oh look, you got pocket rockets again, and again and again and again. wooo. must be hard.
I think what he is saying is that the power weapons give a little too much of a point boost when you get them, making tlit too hard to rebound from such a disadvantage.
I can understand promoting map movement instead of camping. But when the only reason they win is because of the power weapons’ availability, it makes it feel too one-sided. A healthy balance between starting weapons and power weapons in play should be present, especially since there is half the population in a game present in the match.
Power weapons should definitely be in Doubles Pro. Although, the current ammo for ALL power weapons should be reduced by HALF.
It makes absolutely NO SENSE to have 4 rockets spawning at a regular 2 minutes timer. I can’t even understand how that decision was made in the first place.

Radar Promotes camping? Really? How so? Please go on how this makes no sense. When you have radar that is to find people correct? Show me one match where camping actually works with a radar eventually your gonna get spotted. Also if you mean CE as in Combat Evolved then your joking. Apparantly your matches go -Yoink!- tory and no campers are in my games. And do you have proof that I hog the weapon spawns? Cause I would love to see it. Your replies are a joke. At least people here have a solution like limiting the ammo that it takes to carry it or something like that which I can be on board with that unless 343 does that right.

Sorry for double posting but I read through the comment and that is what I mean. I feel there should be a healthy balance and I have faith that 343 can pull that off. Thank you for understanding and coming up with a logical thesis to this ^^. Another note for people who don’t know this already i’m not talking about power weapons overall I’m only talking about it in DOUBLES PRO and nothing else.

The problem with radar is it gives away your position far to easily. If you are attempting to flank your enemy with radar on, you either have to give the time to set up, or you tell them exactly which direction you’re coming from.
I can’t talk about CE as the only competitive CE I’ve played is 1v1 with my brother and friends.

He was giving valid objections to your post. You might not agree with him but that doesn’t make you right and it doesn’t make him wrong.
Certainly with ordinance the weapons have a bit to much ammo and spawn to quickly, but your suggestions to get rid of them will inevitably make things worse.
Rather, a better solution would be to place weapons on map and then limit the amount of ammo they have. Don’t make them worthless or it will kill the point of them (such as putting a railgun with only one shot) but don’t give them as much ammo as they currently have (like the Sniper on abandon).

It promotes it by letting people crouch in a corner or behind a doorway watching their radar for someone to pass by. With radar they know exactly when they are going to turn the corner. This is further aggravated with armor abilities like active camo and personal ordinances. Having just those two power weapons like in abandon force people to fight for the weapons to gain an advantage. Halo is all about gaining strategic advantages whether it be through map control or gaining power weapons. It sounds to me like you are just mad because you can’t handle it.

Okay have you ever played DOUBLES PRO? If you have then you must know that you get to select 4 loadouts each one consisting of the 4 precision weapons and each one has I believe and correct me if I am wrong, Resupply and Explosive. Another question to ask, have you actually finished a match with using any load but either dmr or br? Majority of the matches you run into people using one of these two. You may be asking, what does this have to do with power weapons? Well if you have a strong primary weapon it would be more easier to kill people with whether or not you catch them off guard or head to head. Another reason why I stated this is why 343 is coming out with a weapon update so hopefully it can please the majority cause they are fed up with it. Anyways getting off topic, first thing people usually do is run for a power weapon, I sure do that is the logical thing to do. What I complain about is the two people I am facing with sit there with their dmr class and wait for the weapons to spawn. If you try going for that weapon, God help you now. Like I said it may be my misfortune that I run into people like that but it’s unfair. This promoting movement bullcrap is ridiculous. Also saying “Random Weapon drops are unbalanced” Really that eliminates people sitting in one spot and waiting for it, they get to see that you can actually wait and run out and get kills or be killed. I also agree that there is just too many power weapons in doubles pro. Like monolith, rocket launcher and beam rifle seriously? Another thing that irritates me is Doubles Pro is always the front man in voting what happens if I want to play CTF doubles or something, nope sorry bk’s have to vote for pro cause it makes them feel special. I love the Team Doubles game type, I feel I enjoy playing Infinity Doubles cause I actually get to use my own class first of all and it helps with campers cause of p vision. There is power weapons there but you have a better chance of fighting then doubles where there is no radar, a class is chosen for you so you don’t know where they are coming from, and on top of it 2 unbalanced weapons that people always use. Limiting the ammo could be an option what good does that do when the weapons will respawn even if they extend the time it wont eliminate people peforming the act. Why make it it’s own game type then so it can please you pro people but why do people like me who hate it have to play it?

Your probably the typical Pro player who hogs the power weapons and camps there until it spawns and thus destroying players. And why is always placed first before anything in voting, no variety. At least Infinity Slayer has a balanced way of getting power weapons, still fighting for it and your team doesn’t suffer from it. You can actually fight back. 2v2 pro with power weapons is a joke.

> > > > “It doesn’t have to be BRs” Okay then tell me why does everyone most of the time use two weapons all the time, there is a reason why a weapon balance update is coming out. And let me spell this out for you I said “Doubles Pro” for the third time no other game type. I am only complaining about that, I actually enjoy playing Team Throwback, while it has that “Pro” feel I guess, at least its more than two people fighting for power weapons and winning a game over it and mostly camping with no radar. Radar plays a big impact in a game if you didn’t notice another thing that has been in a game along with no radar. Balance doesn’t mean I have to know where each weapon spawns and bunker down and wait and If I get killed. I laugh at people who do that. How I know this another example i play doubles pro on Haven and I run for sticky detonator, you know what I do then I have my team mate run over and stop anyone who is gonna get the railgun or speed boost. then I put a stick on the railgun and wait cause I know people always run to a power weapon, so I hunt them down and I am about ehh about half way toward where the sticky spawns and guess what? Both of his teammates run over and pick it up and I detonate it and well guess what double kill. Then they actually start paying attention to us now and played very well without hogging a power weapon all the time. Yeah they used a BR/DMR which is still broke idc what anyone says and I used a carbine and my teammate use I think either a BR or a LightRifle not sure.

> > Radar Promotes camping? Really? How so? Please go on how this makes no sense. When you have radar that is to find people correct? Show me one match where camping actually works with a radar eventually your gonna get spotted. Also if you mean CE as in Combat Evolved then your joking. Apparantly your matches go -Yoink!- tory and no campers are in my games. And do you have proof that I hog the weapon spawns? Cause I would love to see it. Your replies are a joke. At least people here have a solution like limiting the ammo that it takes to carry it or something like that which I can be on board with that unless 343 does that right.

> It promotes it by letting people crouch in a corner or behind a doorway watching their radar for someone to pass by. With radar they know exactly when they are going to turn the corner. This is further aggravated with armor abilities like active camo and personal ordinances. Having just those two power weapons like in abandon force people to fight for the weapons to gain an advantage. Halo is all about gaining strategic advantages whether it be through map control or gaining power weapons. It sounds to me like you are just mad because you can’t handle it.
There is a thing called promethean vision. They can use Stealth but if your an expert player you can spot that. Camping Corners, yeah that could be hard to spot but would you be dumb enough to go into the same spot all the time? If I couldn’t handle it then why I am I still playing all the Halo games? Doubles Pro is not in Halo 3 or any of the others, Team Doubles was. I have about 15 days logged onto Halo 4 so yeah sure I am totally not handling it. If I wanted to be pro mlg I can go back to playing either Halo 3 with no loadouts or go play Team Throwback so you can be pro and have things handle for you.
