We need weapons to spawn on the levels again. Here’s a common scenario:
I’m using a Battle Rifle and I ran out of ammo. There are no Battle Rifle spawns on the map. The only way to get ammo is to die or kill someone else.
Absolutely. In terms of map design, it gives a player a certain location that needs to be held in order to continually have ammo.
Of all the issues Halo 4 may have had (big or small) this is one I hope gets addressed beyond any of them! I miss having static weapon spawns on maps. Starting on The Pit in halo 3 and knowing right away that the rockets, sword, or camo will always be in the same spot was nice. It gave a sense of knowledge when learning new maps. And it created the map control which Halo needs to remain competitive! I have faith in 343! =)
We are suppose to have Arena gameplay… this would be in an arena game. Lets see what happens.
Halo needs four types of item respawn timers:
-Neutral Power Weapon
-Base Power Weapon/Equipment
-Power Up/Non Power Weapon
-Vehicle/Turret/Map Hazard
A neutral power weapon spawns every X seconds no matter what (also known as “Drop Spawning”).
A base power weapon spawns every X seconds but only if the previous weapon has despawned (players can “dirty” these items’ respawn timers).
A power up spawns every X seconds but the respawn timer only begins once the item has been picked up.
A vehicle spawns every X seconds but the respawn timer only begins once the item has been destroyed.
When a game is designed with “one-gun only” playstyle, the odds of running out of ammo are incredibly rare. To the point I can’t remember it happening at all.
Pretty much a given if they follow through on their promise of arena style game play.
The ordinance system would be good if they bring back Firefight, but they need to return MP to the old weapon spawn system!
Speaking of firefight, who thinks it would be possible to create maps in Forge to make Firefight missions? If 343 could give us the right tools, it would be an awesome leap in the Firefight and Forge communities. But, do you think it is even possible?
Oh, and Forge! I saw a guy on YouTube that had some nice ideas on how Forge could improve… Check him out and try to put it out there if you like it! Halo 5's Forge - YouTube

Way to double derail this thread, buddy.
The reimplementation of the original trilogy’s weapon spawning would be superb.
Let’s stick to the original purpose of the thread. If you have an idea, feel free to make your own.
