Confirmed:here
Look at Updates 3 and 4
TL:DR
Basically according to this doing well causes you to choose different weapon drops on your D-pad, when choosing one, the weapon will drop at it’s default spawn: Everyone in the game will be notified however you’ll be notified sooner.
Dont PANIC
This is no when close to COD’s killstrak system here’s why:
EVERYONE Has a chance to get the drops. It is marked on everyone’s HUD. however you get notified a bit earlier. Therefore it brings back power weapon , and map control. Why?
-
You must be doing well to gain one therefore it promotes skill
-
If you gain one, you get notified first, therefore in order to secure the drop before the other team shows up, You Must have map control
-It is easily counterable, the other team WILL notice your team gathering in one specific spot (this is assuming they haunt been notified yet) and will mount an offensive. (As they can infer as to whats happening)
- It promotes teamwork and communication,if you receive one not only do you need teamwork to secure one, you can set up ambushes etc.
So no this is not like COD at all and so far it doesn’t seem like a bad addition.
And if you don’t like it, it is only included in some playlists

I made a thread about this too, its good to see that some people are getting the facts instead of mindlessly freaking out
This is stupid. As much as I disagree with Halo = Cod, this has crossed the line.

Yeah hopefully this’ll stay on the front page and people will be informed.
Damn I just realized typing on a Windows 7 tablet takes getting used to. Excuse me for my mistakes.
Wow i Honestly think that is pretty cool and definitely creative and unique(based on how you described it). I hate how other threads here automatically assume its killstreaks. They form the association in their head and dont bother to actually learn about it they just call it CoD.

Care to elaborate?

Dont do that let him explain himself, he might have legitimate concerns that I may not have noticed

Explain what? How he thinks Halo is turning into Call of Duty based on absolutely no gameplay and the fact that it is still in ALPHA?

Still has the right to explain himself, you cant just assume he doesnt have a legitimate reason
Erm…DIdnt the guy say this came at random? And he has no idea what caused this?
Except for the fact that there is no reason to jump to that conclusion.

lets just leave it at that, the thread might get derailed anyone have opinions on this system?
> Erm…DIdnt the guy say this came at random? And he has no idea what caused this?
that doesnt explain why he was able to choose the drop with the D-Pad

I dunno. Neither do you.
Lets wait and find out.
I’m pretty skeptical about how this is being implemented. But until a good gameplay video comes out or I’ve played it for myself I won’t jump to conclusions. But the doubts are there. Watching you 343i.

Well the man did say how it was being implemented sooo
Also assuming it works the way he described (as in 323 doesnt change anything from here to release) this wouldnt be a bad thing at all. In fact I welcome it.

This entire thread assumes it works this way (if a random person in the game gets it that doesnt seem to make sense)
As I said before I think it will be a good thing.

Whats best is with the variable spawn system. The heat maps will be more even and you will get to play entire maps instead of just a few regions. That means if H4 is good to begin with, it will have great staying power because the games will constantly change reducing monotony.
