Has anyone else noticed the lack of Power weapons during non infinity games?
I was thinking about it and without a set respawn time on each weapon there is far fewer weapons.
For example:
Halo Reach: Power House:
Grenade launcer: 1min 30 second respawn time - respawned 5ish times a game
Rockets: 3 mins- 3 times a game
Shotgun: 1:30 5ish a game
Hammer: 1:30 5ish a game
Thermal scope rifle thingy? (2mins?) 3ish a game
Grenades spawned every like minute also
There was also needlers and other weapons on map
Total= 20+ weapons easy
Halo 3:
Grenades spawned super fast
Same thing with weapons the set respawn times caused them to appear more
Halo 4: Adrift:
Sword: initial: 1 time
Sticky detonator: intial: 1 time
scattershot: initial: 1 time
A few random drops
Total= around 6-10 weapons
On top of that the weapons disappear extremely fast in Halo 4.
Idk if it’s just me, but sometimes I feel like I go multiple games in a row using my dmr and boltshot practically the entire game. It feels bland to me. If I wanted to use DMR only I would go play MLG customs.
-_- There are NINE weapons available for custom loadouts.
If all you ever use is a “DMR Boltshot” combo, that’s your fault.
Also, 343 is trying to push the “Ordnance drop” feature, by decreasing natural weapon spawns on the map. Its understandable that power weapons won’t spawn naturally, you’re supposed to call them in.

It’s extremely slow for everything. Fast timers on power items = fast gameplay. CE had a minute timer on OS, which was a lot more powerful than in the later games, and had much faster timers on weapons like rockets and sniper. Faster spawning power items = more incentive to move around the map, resulting in faster gameplay.
Every map basically only has the Needler, Sticky Detonator, and Scattergun. OCCASIONALLY a Sniper Rifle or a Shotgun. And honestly you are probably only going to get 2 kills with the needler or detonator anyways, barely even worth picking up.
Personal Ordnance Needlers and despawning weapons after 10 seconds don’t help either.

I will use whatever weapons present me the greatest advantage in my given situation. I don’t care what you think is a “man’s weapon” I will continue to use whatever allows me to preform to the best of my abilities

I think you mean whatever gun has the highest autoaim and bullet magnetism.
