Am I the only one who constantly finds myself running out of ammo in Halo 4? Sure, you get roughly the same amount of starting ammo as in previous games. But back then, everyone started with the same guns as opposed to… 10 different guns, right? So the ammo gets spread pretty thin between different guns. My solution for 343 would be, give everyone another clip in their gun, without using the ammo support (it is support right???) package. Then they could get even more ammo by using that. Note that this only affects loadout guns.
I have no problem with ammo, I don’t even use the thing to get extra ammo with the load-outs… Maybe I don’t stay alive long enough lol. But you do know that you can get your enemies weapons on the ground?

Yes, but what happen is, I’ll have my DMR then I kill a few people who all have Light Rifles (which I don’t want). Then I run out of ammo in my DMR and I’m screwed, especially because weapons de-spawn CRAZY fast.
The problem was that previous games also had weapons on the map just in case you needed to refill. It really limits players, since they can’t go on a long spree, and have a consistent source of ammunition.
343 purposely made it that way so that you would have to scavenge weapons off dead opponents or from Ordinance. So that if you get a shotgun, you can’t keep camping then going to refill. You would either have to get more Ordinance or get a different weapon.

I see, I can’t really help you then. If you don’t have enough ammo even with the extra added from your load-out I don’t know what could help.
I’m surprised that it’s a problem for you, I almost never see people using the light rifle (and it’s easy to notice when it fires), most of the time I’m facing a DMR or BR, more AR on smaller maps.
Add to that the ordinance drops allowing you to use another weapon than your primary and I believe you should be fine until you get killed.
I just thought of a piece of advice: try using the “firepower” tactical package. You won’t be able to carry two DMR’s of course lol, but you’ll get a combo such as DMR+BR, could help you when you’re out of ammo with the DMR.
This is why it is good to adapt to more than 1 sought of gun, i only really have this sought of problem on Big team, in which i just pick up a fallen enemy’s lightRifle or BR.
I think the ammo is alright and you can still frequently find ammo on the battlefeild =)
If you want extra ammo, try using the ammo support package alongside the resupply tactical packages.
This issue being in Spartan Ops forced me to resort to a desperate measure: ammo crates. Some weapons that spawn in crates can respawn.
Hunting Trip Solo Legendary was way too easy thanks to this.
Get the ammo perk. Starts me with 90 Carbine rounds now and 150% plasma pistol. Increases ordinance drop ammo as well. Spartan laser gets 150% and the beam rifle gets two extra rounds.
- Use the Ammo Mod.
- Use the Firepower Mod.
- Move around the map and retrieve ammo before you run out. Not getting more ammo from the dead enemies is your choice. Where and how you kill them to get ammo is your choice.
- Try picking up a different weapon. If it’s all DMR’s why don’t you have ammo? If it’s not all DMR’s, it’s all balanced because you’re now using their weapons against them AND it’s not DMR’s.
- Damn straight bacon.

There are much better perks I would rather use than Ammo. What if I wanted faster reloads, more-powerful explosives, or less flinching?

None of those are beneficial to me. Faster reloads, while can be handy, are never really requires as long as you meter your ammo. The explosives perk barely modifies the damage table table of grenades, and flinching is easily controlled by pulling down on your joystick.
Either they give us an extra clip or give us primary weapon Ordnance drops, and then RESUPPLY PERSONAL ordnance drops.
The only time I’ve seen a Primary weapon drop is in Dominion.
