HALO REACH
Me: Rockets are gonna spawn soon and I’m headed over there. Hold down the top section for me.
Friend: Cool. Red team just picked up sniper on that side so be careful.
Other Friend: One hit on my X. I dropped shotgun.
Friend: I’m on it.
(I get rockets, friend goes to X, gets kill, picks up shotgun, kill on!)
HALO 4
Me: I hope to get ordinace soon. We’ll see what I get.
Friend: Cool. I’m not quite sure where everybody is or where the action is or what weapons they might have, so be careful.
Other Friend: One hit where I died. I dropped shotgun.
Friend: Where? Where?! Oh, over there somewhere. I’m on it.
(I get something random in my ordinance, friend finally finds where other friend died, gets killed by random power weapon, shotgun has disappeared, kill on?!?)
Am I the only one who welcomes this variety? It keeps you on your toes, alert, and, frankly, terrified of what might be on the other side of the next door. Ordnance/Random weapon drops have sharpened my reaction time and skill with evasive maneuvers.
I come here and see people crying that something changed.
…while we laugh at CoD never changing…
But I understand that chat isn’t as efficient. Learn callouts. It helps point out where you died rather than “on my X.”

There’s just as much alertness when you know your enemy has a sniper, or rockets. There’s a randomness in this game, cause no one knows wtf you’re gonna get.
Perfect example, Team Slayer on Complex last night. There were 6 snipers. Six. Let me repeat that, six. In Team Slayer. Get real.
