I was thinking Halo could take a Gears of War approach and show a top down view of the maps before the match starts. It could show equipment and power weapons positions. That way, noobs can at least get a basic understanding of the maps, and the weapon labels that everyone seems to hate wont be necessary.
An example of when taking from another franchise is a good idea.
I would kinda like to see some sort of intro cinematic for games, even if its just something like your team readying its weapons.

I think the point was that the map blueprints would allow for classic weapon spawns while removing the barrier to entry (right of passage) of learning weapon spawns. It would allow both fans of the old system and its most vocal critics to be happy.
I’ll take function over fiction any day.
