I’m not here to bash 343i, Halo 4, or even Halo Reach. As a matter of fact I quite enjoyed many of the features added when Reach was released. Yes, sometimes I would become angry when I was sniped by a camper with Active Camo, or was denied a kill by an Armor Lock spammer. The point is I continued playing, and despite these types of players I HAD FUN.
With the new info that was in the Halo 4 Game Informer, I became a little skeptical with two things. Not that armor abilities were returning (even though certain users were annoying they could be easily countered), or that firefight was replaced by Spartan Ops, but by random weapon spawns and instant respawns. I’m not saying that the game will be bad because of these things, I’m just considering how certain players (see above) will use these “mechanics” to their advantage. Every game has these types of players (to make things easier we will call these players, “annoyances”). Battlefield has them, CoD has them, every game has Annoyances.
As much as I’d love to have set weapon spawns or have set spawn times, I don’t see it happening (Okay, maybe only in certain playlists). With or without these mechanics being implemented in the game, there will always still be those Annoyances. I will still buy the game, and I will enjoy the hell out of it, these were just my opinions I wanted to express.
What are your thoughts on random weapon spawns, and instant respawns?
