It hit me today that if the weapons spawn in drop pods randomly dropped around the map, if they are unmarked, perhaps Forerunner vision users can determine what weapon is in which drop pod and alert their teammates of which weapon spawned in what location, without the inconvenience of rushing to a drop pod only to find a weapon you’re no good with.
I also realized how much fun Halo 4 will be because of random drop pod weapon spawns. You know it gets kinda boring to play a map when you do the same route every game, have the same battles in the same hallways over the same power weapons every time. But with the random drop pods, the areas in which the drop pods land should somewhat determine where most of the action will be taking place in a match.
Things are starting to make sense
