Do power weapons spawn way too frequently in this game? I don’t know, I just feel that power weapons appear way too often in a single match, sometimes I will be using a shotgun and I’ll still have around 4 shots left in the damn thing before another one is spawning in. I personally think it’s absolutely ridiculous, it leaves very few situations down to individual skill when most of the time you can quickly duck out and turn on someone with a shotty or rocket in you hand, but that’s just my opinion…
It’s just you.

You don’t think that a shotgun, rocket, sniper etc. spawning every couple of minutes in single match is a bit overbearing? Most of the time you have very few periods in a game (if any) where the teams can just dual it out with pure utility weapons, without having to rely on power weapons to secure an easy 10 kills, which is a pretty huge crutch IMO.
The weapon spawns work for me bro!
to my knowledge and experience (other then weapon pads) the other power weapons will not start their respawn time until they despwarn off the fields, ive never encountered two shotguns in a game. not with weapon pads thats completely different. but power weapon pickups is what im talking about

In every other halo game the weapons spawned when dropped, which kept them in one teams hands. Good teams would just keep them and dominate the map and you saw really lop sided wins (large skill gap). In this game i feel like they wanted to make the skill gap smaller and one way is to give a team that is not so good to pick up the 2nd or 3rd power weapon and make a come back. The wins and losses are much smaller in my opinion in H5 and it could be because of the 2 minute sniper and the 3 minute rocket. Remember H2 lockout, if the sniper got blown off the map it never respawn. That made for some close fast pace games.

I guess what i am saying is if you are good and/or play with a full team, one power weapon at a time works for you. if you are bad you need multiple sniper, rocket, plasma on the map.

Agreed. The two to three minute respawn timer is fine.

Halo 3Scorpian Tank- 90s
Wraith Tank- 60s
Hornet- 180s
Ghost- 45s
Choppers- 30s
Warthogs- 30s
Banshee- 60s
Rocket Launchers- 60 to 180 depending on map.
Overshield- 180s
Shotgun- 60s
Spartan Laser- 180s
Sword- 150s
I’m sure other people can remember the times for Halo 2, reach was 2 minutes on sniper.
I think they spawn in at the right times
Is it me or does everyone use click bait in forums now??
I think its pretty well balanced right now as is.
forums these days are just people venting about something that upsets them and very few that are constructive to the game and community!

You will never see two shotguns on one map so idk what you are talking about when you said there was two. Once the shotgun is picked up and all the ammo is used it will respwan after ten seconds. Snipers, fuel rods etc there can be multiple of them in the field.
I feel like there’s always been quick spawns in Halo. I think power weapons should only spawn like 2 times per match. Maybe 3, at just preset intervals. No loud countdowns, they just quietly spawn in and people would gradually adjust and learn what minute marks the weapons come back in, and they’d give plenty of time for each weapon to be used up. I think it would also create much bigger battles around the power weapons. Because as it is right now, i never even use the power weapons unless I absolutely need one. But like so many people will have them and die from another power weapon that honestly picking one up should be an event. Instead of a death magnet.

No. All weapon and power up spawns have their time reset on pickup.

Wrong, weapon pads do this, not shotgun, scatter, etc those respawn ten seconds after ammo is used and dropped

Correct the OP having a full shotgun and encountering another shotgun is false, can’t happen.

I know, I couldn’t help but click it. My curiosity was piqued. Now for the OPs message. I personally think that weapon spawns are fine in this game. Get enough weapons on the map to make for interesting engagements, and it’s not purely a pistol/BR match the entire game. We need the diversity to make the matches fun and engaging.
the timing is fine its just the announcing of the weapon spawning makes it seem more frequent
which personally i dont like the weapons being announced when they spawn in
