Why? This looked like a cool, classic-esque playlist. Why suddenly the PO? That’s my only qualm with this playlist’s settings, but a match will look like this for me.
KILL
KILL
DEATH
KILL
DEATH
KILL
DEATH from rockets
KILL (Ordnance Ready)
DEATH from Binary Rifle
(Order Ordnance Now)
KILL with Incineration cannon
KILL with Incineration cannon
KILL with Incineration cannon
DEATH from FRG
DEATH from rockets
I think you see what I mean. Why not have an action sack playlist for games just with power weapons?
Alomst every single one of the competitive gametypes created by the community make them PO. Remember that the ones in charge of this playlist are all top notch MLG Pros that know more about competitive gameplay than any of us.

Doesn’t make them incorruptible.

Yes but considering you have to kill to obtain them and they don’t have a major impact on gameplay they are fine in my opinion.
> The PODs contain Hardlight Shield, Hologram, and Thruster Pack.
>
> Unless you are worried people will constantly trick you or dodge your bullets, it’s nothing to worry about.

The hell does that mean?! They were chosen to do it for the sole purpose that 343 wanted to leave them to make a solely competitive playlist. If they wanted to keep it corrupted with new stuff, why couldn’t they just do that themselves? It’s obvious that 343 realised they don’t know too much about competitive play, so they picked people that do to make it. If they chose to put those in, it’s obviously because they think that it can add to the competitive gameplay.

So that’s what they contain? Thanks for letting me know that. I was kinda worried, but not anymore.

I don’t know where you heard that but the only person we know that is working for 343 and was affiliated MLG is Bravo and he was just a coach. That being said Bravo has a great understanding of competitive game play and has already applied his knowledge. Look at team doubles. Also 343 said they would be taking a look at the AGL Chicago tournament to see what settings might work. The AGL tournament had the MLG settings that Ghostayame came out with but tweaked them a little bit. However we don’t know what they will be taking from the MLG/AGL settings.

Walshy also worked on it along with StrongSide. Read the bulletin bro.

Ohh ok sorry. that just came out so I didn’t know.
Personal ordnance in the “v2” settings will allow for hardlight shield, thruster pack, and hologram only. Personal ordnance will not feature weapons, powerups, or any random factors.
There are no plans to add personal ordnance to any alternate variants that are added to the Team Throwdown playlist. Sorry for any confusion!
While I’m glad that there won’t be power weapons in the Personal Ordinance Drops, I would have rather of seen the Personal Ordinance Drops simply provide power-ups and do so in tiers…
1st drop only gives Speed Boosts
2nd drop gives an option to choose between Overshield and Speed Boost
3rd drop gives all three power-ups (Damage Boost, Overshield, & Speed Boost)
Plus, I like the idea of having specific Armor Abilities placed on the map for pick-up… that way they could act similar to H3 equipment.
