I cannot believe how fast everything despawns in this game. Not even 10 seconds. the -Yoinking!- dead body itself lasts longer than the weapon despawns. holy -Yoink- 343i are you kidding me, how many people have complained about this already and yet it is still there. And don’t give me that -Yoink- “we don’t want too many power weapons on the map” because if some teammate loses a power weapon the moment he picks it up then there really is no power weapons for 3 mins…fix the despawn time! make it 1 minute or even 30 seconds longer, give us something here. I’m sure nothings going to happen because 343i only cares about money, the sr 70 cap proves it… i’m still waiting for my code too…
That plus the low ammo one starts with pretty much makes the Ammo upgrade a necessity sucks because I’d like to use other upgrades in that slot. Also if 343 was really that worried about everyone running around with power weapons they shouldn’t have released the ordinance drop system they have right now, power weapons for everyone!!!
lol there are no ordinance drops in game types like capture the flag and odd ball, so really there is a problem and it needs to be fixed…honestly getting sick of complaining to 343i here and not getting jack -Yoink-.
I don’t get why they can’t just make it so the primary weapons stay longer when dropped. I understand with power weapons since there are ordnance drops, but they don’t put primary ammo in ordnance drops, and I don’t want to use the ammo perk for every gametype.

i’m sure they can fix the simple things like how weak the banshee is, or how over power weapons and ghosts are in this game, or the weapon despawn times, or the main menu service record…cant even see commendation progress or what other friends are playing or when they’re searching, sparton ops with only 5 maps over and over in each episode, stupid join in progress when a game is 1 min away from being over, flinch is so stupid…getting shot and having your reticle go upward???, game types like invasion, team snipers, and a objectiveless big team battle are missing, allowing random bk’s to instantly pick up this game and be good…like COD.
Your threaded in despawning has “devolved” into yet another whine session.
On topic, I completely agree about despawn times in all modes, including campaign and spartan ops. So many times I drop a weapon and seconds later when back to retrieve it, it despawns at my feet. Very frustrating.
I know it has to do with smoothness of gameplay and framerates since this really is a next gen game on a current gen console, but it seems like it could be tweaked to not be so short or make things seem so odd, like a dead enemy despawning at your feet.
well I hope more and more people continue to “whine” or point out things to 343i…it takes a community to get their attention to be able to change things.
Yup. The quick despawn in SpOps really ruins the fun. It’s a shame to have a plethora of (admittedly similar) weapon types which I rarely get a chance to use.
That’s just part of the problem, though. Player spawning logic is bad too.
Often, I respawn half a map from the action and have to sprint for 45 seconds. Or facing 180 degrees away from enemies. Or in the midst of a huge group of Crawlers, Knights or Elites.
Another annoyance (when playing SpOps split screen) is that if other player is in a vehicle which supports gunner & driver, I will ALWAYS respawn in their vehicle. The game should realize that if I wasn’t in their vehicle at the time that I died, then I shouldn’t be respawned in it. I made an intentional choice to be on foot, and the game should be smart enough to respect that.

Finally, does anyone else feel like the enemy pathfinding AI has degraded from previous games? I see stuck elites all the time, and don’t even get me started on their driving/flying skill.
sucks because I’d like to use other upgrades in that slot. Also if 343 was really that worried about everyone running around with power weapons they shouldn’t have released the ordinance drop system they have right now, power weapons for everyone!!!
