How about, in Halo 4, instead of just kinda appearing, you would be fired into battle via a drop-pod, which would soon disappear (In under a minute). And when you are first being spawned into a game, you are flown in on a Pelican, and there is about ten seconds of you just sat in a Pelican with your team? I just thought that these would be cool, but what do I know? 
I don’t think we’ll be ODST in Halo 4.

Obviously not. But Spartans can use a drop pod too.

hence the ODST armour available in Reach.

halo 4 isn’t on reach.
I’ve played a game with this type of idea, it was fun, but you are going to have problems in maps that are indoors, so the current respawn set up is just fine. But if they made it so it looked like when people spawn they’re teleported into the map.

Or came down in a drop pod.

was that game section 8?
I really hope drop pods come into Halo 4, or if it is too much to do drop pods then they can make it so that you just fall from the sky in your armor and then rise up in a cloud of smoke and debris.

just like section 8.

I thought that it might be that game, and it is amazing, I still play the demo today lol, it is so much fun and it’s an awesome way to spawn in to a game. I think the initial spawns are fixed, but any spawns after that are restricted to green areas in the map, if you drop into red space you get shot down by AA’s … although, you are able to take the Anti-airs offline with concentrated fire. But it can be challenging because people will literally throw them selves at you to stop them from being shut down.

Along those lines, yes.
I think that would be awesome, another thing that should be incorporated into the spawning is something like a ten second spawn shield or at least for some game types like invasion.

OK since I have Hayabusa armor in H3 that means I’m allowed to run around the map like a ninja right?
i approve
There should also be control points on the battle field that you can capture so you team spawn in the location, also iv’e herd that halo 4 might have some sort of destructible environment so it would be cool if you could go threw the roof of a building if you hit one while spawning
Pelican idea: Can’t considering there are forge maps and such and it would look kinda awkward on others. (ex. Blackout, isolation midship, ect.)
Drop pod idea: Wouldn’t really work on in doors maps and when facing noobs = lots of deaths and all the drop pods would cause lag. Would also make spawn killing pretty easy since you see them come in. Kinda cool for maybe campaign though or firefight where the maps are generally open and there is 10 second respawn.
What if they came up out of the ground?
