I know everyone moans about personal ordnance but i made a game type where your personal ordnance gave you a choice of Br, Dmr or frags. I think this gametype could be added into team doubles or even team slayer as a separate gametype in the same playlist.
I haven’t actually seen anyone mentioning that you can customize the personal loudouts for gametypes. Most people just say remove personal ordnance rather than have it pre-selected.
Basically players could vote for normal ordnance or pre-selected ordnance.
Then you run into the issue of what a fair personal ordinance would be. With yours, people will probably just pick the DMR more than BR or frag grenades. Course they could just take power weapons off the ordinance and swap them all with power ups like damage boost, speed boost and overshield.
I know some people like the Lr or Carbine but giving people the choice of DMR, Br or frags would just be like giving them ammo, making it fair. Unfortunately you can’t make ordnance just give out ammo for the main primary weapons.

Seriously anyone who uses Promethean or Covenant Weapons could really use a Ammo Resupply selection in the Ordnance drop.
It’s a very hard discussion to have. We don’t have anything as ridiculous as dogs or tactical nukes in Halo, objects that simply grant us kills without having to try.
The ordnance drop is only as good as the player that picks it up. A noob with a rocket launcher is still a noob. The problem comes with it at the competitive level.
I think the one way to keep the system in place as intended at a competitive level is to change the weighted randomness. So power weapons are rarer. In addition to this changing the weight of which team gets one.
So for example if my team has received a rocket launcher, our chance to get another power weapon drops drastically until the enemy team as received one to balance things out. Just my opinion.
Edit: Oh and increase how many points it takes to get one at higher levels of play.
i wouldnt mind a ammo resupply for ordnance. ive maxed out my commendation for the DMR and ive started to use the BR and i run out of ammo all the time, and there is just not enough BR users to pick up more ammo.
