It is honestly unbearable to play infinity slayer at this point, the fact that anyone and everyone can get a power weapon is annoying, not to mention game breaking.
Global Ordnance:
Global Ordnance completely ruins any type of teamwork in this game, I have had multiple games in which the score was very close, then a sticky detonator spawns 5 feet away from the enemy team. Guess what happened my team lost, why? Because the other team got lucky with a power weapon spawn and we didn’t thats why.
Since when was this an acceptable outcome? Why should my team lose when we did nothing wrong?
On Valhalla why should the other team get a binary rifle in front of their base and my base gets a needler? How is this randomness in any way a good thing? If 343 wanted to make people move around the map for power weapons, why not have a HUD indicator 30 secs prior to the ordnance dropping?
Personal Ordnance:
This by far is the most annoying addition to any Halo game. Running around in Team Slayer only to find out that everyone on the other team has a SAW. All this does is to encourage camping, people are already starting to do so on Adrift, just camp the alleyway with the grav lift with your team, gain some decent personal ordnance and then steamroll. Why should I lose when I did Everything right in terms of gaining map,weapon,and team control? Just because some random on the other team got enough assists to get a shotgun, SAW, or damage boost?
How is this in anyway Halo? This game gets worse than Reach sometimes in infinity slayer.
How to fix this:
1)Increase Global Ordnance drops, make them drop more than one weapon on the map, and alert everyone prior to it’s arrival. (assuming they don’t want static weapon spawns)
Go back to static weapon spawns
Decrease personal ordnance by a Clapton (if you decide to keep it)
make personal ordnance weapons drop somewhere not 10 feet in front of you. (I.e somewhere in the middle of the map)
These are minor tweaks that can help the game a lot. Unfortunately if some fix isn’t implemented then I’m sorry I give up on this series as whole.
Personal ordnance drops shouldn’t contain power weapons such as SNIPERS OR ROCKETS or anything in that category they should be secondary weapons or good weapons but nothing that will change the outcome of the game…
> you should probably be playing slayer pro if you hate ordnance’s so much.
Slayer Pro lacks everything i like about this game, such as radar, AAs, etc. They could just fix the ordnance and the vanilla would be fine, not to mention this isn’t Halo.
The core gameplay is there, it’s just that there is so much holding it back.

Make the personal ordnance the same for everyone, and make the options tolerable, like the needler, speed boost, and oversheild. As they are the least offensive. Then increase global ordnance drops, and place them in static locations, or give a HUD indicator 20 secs before they arrive telling what it will be, and where it will land.

Anyone know if 343 will fix this game besides playlist management?
This would fall under playlist management, as this is an option that can be changed while editing the game settings.
The ordnance drops in infinity slayer are so ridiculous I won’t play it anymore. Why start with a BR/DMR when you can start with an assault rifle and spray everyone down? Then get a shotgun or a SAW and sit pretty and rack up kills. It totally spits all over the beautiful game we know and love as Halo.

Have they said anything about fixing these issues?
