I’m kinda surprised there hasn’t been a topic about this. Anyway, has anyone noticed that in Slayer and Team Arena all the maps have the same power weapons on them?
I mean we have the Sniper Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Caster and Railgun…that’s it. Where’s the SAW, Binary rifle, Incineration cannon, Beam rifle and the SPNKR rocket launcher? Did 343 leave them out on purpose, or did they not make maps designed for them? I only see and use those weapons in Warzone but they’re not in any 4v4 Arena playlist. WTF? Hopefully in the future they give us more maps that might have those weapons, but I’m not so sure.
Id like to see some randomness. Have different snipers spawn on sniper spawn, different rocket launcers(spnkr included) and so on throughout the game. It could be the same match but during that time it could have spawned a Beam Rifle variation, a Human Sniper variation, or even a Promethean Sniper variation. Heck, you could even have a speed boost or invisibility spawn on overshield. +1 for you good sir or madam.
Well everything except the Beam rifle and the SAW is also in BTB. WHERE IS THE BEAM RIFLE? No love for it.

They should never do this, there should not be randomness in Arena maps.
Because the SAW, Binary Rifle and weapons like the beam rifle are a little too easy to use.
My problem with the Arena maps is the sheer amount of power weapons on them. Not to mention the fact that they respawn in what seems like a minute. Overgrowth loses its playability for that reason, and certain maps are just endless grenade spam (cough Truth cough), because they respawn so quickly.

As far as I know of, there aren’t any exceptions. All power weapons spawn on either two or three minute timers. At 6:00 during a match the timers will overlap and you’ll have two power weapons spawning at the same time. This leads to around four power weapon spawns total throughout the match.
It’s gonna seem like constant power weapon spawns if you let the enemy just grab them and stockpile them uncontested the entire match.

Colliseum used to have an Incineration Cannon…not sure why it was changed to Rockets. I don’t really see any major problems with this gun, it could probably work.
I can’t imagine the SAW working well on any of the current arena maps. Not sure if it would work well on any map period. It’s just way too powerful of a weapon with no strategic counter.
Beam Rifle is just the Sniper upgraded, as is the Binary Rifle. Not really ideal competitive choices.
SPNKR was just recently released. I can understand why it’s not in arena yet.

Why? If the weapons spawned on the specific platforms with merely a different variation of said weapon classification I think it could add a lot to Arena. A person with more weapon knowledge and versatility could turn the game around. Keep in mind I’m not talking the tier 1 and tier 2 weapons laying around the map, just a couple power weapons that are already game changing.

But Rocket launcher, Rail Gun, and Active Camo are hard to use?
