Spawning and the disease that is the plasma rifle.

OK. So I’ve been playing a lot of arena recently trying to regain my onyx rank from a couple seasons ago. It has been going OK, but I’ve noticed 2 seriously annoying and occasionally game breaking issues that continue to pop up in every single game. Issue 1? Oh dear lord the spawns. Who created the spawn system for this game? Fire them, fire them right now. In one game I got instantly spawn killed because I spawned with my back facing an enemy, once? Nope, 5 times. 5 bloody times. How in the hell does that make any sense? I’ve even been spawned on an enemy grenade several times, hell, once I spawned and a sticky was already on my bloody head. How hard is it? How hard can it actually be to prevent instant spawn killing? Seriously, someone tell me how hard it is. If it’s too difficult I’ll come down and work for free to do it. Anyway, sarcasm and salt aside. Please sort your spawns, it isn’t fun spending half a game being spawned on grenades or with my back facing an enemy just waiting to have a knife rammed in my neck and a clam sandwich down my throat. The second issue? I’m dead serious about this. Nerf. The damn. Plasma rifle. Ho-ly crap does that thing need a Nerf. Did anyone test it? It’s basically a shotgun that spawns on almost every single map with extended range. Perfect for maximizing spawn killing potential (still salty about spawns) and for annoying people to the point of implosion. Hell, whilst your at it (completely pointless statement since I know you’ll never Nerf any of the noob friendly stuff, this is after all the noob friendly halo, no hate, it’s true), Nerf the damn needler as well, or just make it so it doesn’t appear as frequently. Anyway, that’s my rage over the 2 most annoying and frequent weapons abused by the noob community halo 5 has stolen from COD finished. Actually, talking of spawns, what’s with the weapon pads? You realise the weapons respawn even if the last one that spawned is still in play with full or near full ammo right? Tell me that wasn’t intentional, I had a team of rocket users at one point, they just camped rocket spawn and made it nigh impossible for my team (made up of 3 silvers and a diamond) to get through. Seriously, check that out. Speaking of ranking, (yes I am rambling, deal with it), for the love of the arbiter please change your system for that to. I went 32 to 3 in a game of slayer but I had these 2 idiots who were constantly killing themselves or getting themselves killed, and one other competent guy. So, after IDK 5 hours of working up to diamond 5 from platinum 2 I went back down to diamond 1 in 4 games because of these idiots and several other idiots on my teams. Seriously, sort your ranking out so you don’t get screwed for having a team full of morons or fix the matchmaking so you get teamed with other competent players instead of utter morons whilst the enemy team is full onyx or champion. Rant over, feel free to ignore all of this as I’m sure it will be. Not like this game will ever be made competitive.
PS. Add a damn br only game mode, it’s not rocket science.

Sorry if this offended anyone in any way, (looking at the needler and plasma rifle users) but it’s what needed to be said.

Agree with spawns. Was spawn killed 7 times in a row once in ffa. It has to be said that the guy in last place is generally the one with the worst spawns. It ruins too many games.

And i too hate the needler and plama rifle. They encourage camping and need nerfing. Or just a lot less of them on the maps.

I know what you mean about teammates though, but joining a spartan company for a fireteam has really helped. Now i win most matches cos teammates communicate. Never happens with randoms. Just got to place and see that 343 tanks me too low again! Lol

The spawns are horrendous in this game
The Storm Rifle fails as a Plasma Weapon, they’re supposed to be shield eaters, not face melters :confused:
But I feel the Needler is fine, a few left-right dodges and a wall and the Needler is damn useless
