Agree with alot of what you say. One of the biggest issues I have with this game is ordnance drops. They are horrible of game play.
First they promote camping. When leave your spawn when you get power weapons delivered to you. This is made worse by random weapon drops. There is no longer any incentive to go out and risk getting these weapons. So map flow has completely gone out of the window
Second because of ordnance drops maps get flooded with power weapons. Power weapons use to a game changer now it seems like every player has some power weapon in there back pack at all times.
Third Im going to blame ordnance drops for the rapid weapon despawn times. Im betting 343 did this to help prevent an over abundance of power weapons from building up on the map.

Very good point. I didn’t think about that. And now that I think about it as well, I think you’re right on the money here.

you forget most people on these forums never read past the first paragraph…
Excellent post, agree with everything. I’m tired of seeing all these people saying that we need to “change” and “adapt”. Telling people like us who helped build this series into what it is(or what it was) to get out. These people who started out with Reach and think they know what Halo is about, how it plays, how it feels. Drives me nuts, if there was nothing ever wrong with the game then why the hell would you change it? We criticize cod for not changing, but why would they? The fans love it, it works for them. Why should halo change? I always played Halo because it stood out from Cod. Halo should be Halo, and Cod should be Cod. I want this series to succeed, and I want 343 to succeed. However, it seems like they really don’t give a -Yoink- about bringing back what made Halo(like they said they would). There more concerned with trying to entice the cod population, and leaving the actual Halo fans in the dark.
That post is long, so it must be golden.

Ignorance at its finest. If you don’t have anything useful to say, don’t say it at all.

Unfortunately at this point i’m just keeping this thread alive for the sake of keeping players informed about the Halo formula that ascended the series into fame. I have a feeling nothing will change in our favor with Halo 4.
I’ll also keep this alive in the hopes that one day 343 will see this thread, read it and understand it, and make the correct decision for the next installment. I know this isn’t some almighty thread, but it has illustrated major points that provide insight on the glories of the 2001-2010 years.
Thanks for posting, by the way.
I’m not holding my hopes up for H4 any longer. Even with this supposed “major” update in January, the damage is already done. We can all hope for H5, but in all honesty, 343 is going down a path in which I just can’t follow.
I really don’t like the camping nature halo 4 promotes. Never have I been shot down by camping camo snipers before so much. It’s just absurd so many bad players use this cheap and lame tactic. Let’s not forget if you crouch then camo no indication on your radar that a camo player is near you is to be found.
Personal ordinances make camping even worse with personal sniper getting delivered every minuet. What compounds this is with no de-scoping players can camp with snipers across the map and never get de-scoped even after you’ve shot them a few times. So they can just casually kill you since they have no consequences anymore of de-scoping when hit.
It truly is baffling that the game has allowed such things and worse every match is plagued by these cheap players since they know if they actually tried to play and not camp they would get owned.
Halo is no longer a thinking man / woman’s game. It’s just go go go go go and go. You play like you are on crack go some more don’t think run around like mindless chickens and so on.

Took the words right out of my mouth hah.
