Am I the only one that thinks this? Winning games isn’t even about skill anymore. Its more about luck and getting one of the many many power weapons on the map. It just makes things messy, random, and annoying. I like the new update but I really hate the way team doubles works. There are 4 people and just to many power weapons. Its not map control, its utter random chaos.
It’s seems pretty dumb to give people ordinance drops on top of power weapon spawns on the map I mean come on.
Copied response from another thread:
"I feel like with every update they do they still have a this ulterior hidden motive trying to cater to only beginners. Their intentions were clear at the GDC? Panel, and it looks like they haven’t changed their mind yet.
Add a visible ranking system “made for the” hardcores which doesn’t even team up people of equal skill.
Add static weapon timers on the map + Personal Ordnance. With that many more power weapons the beginners are guaranteed to get a Power weapon at least once per match."
I find the same thing. When I run around in matchmaking now I fight power weapons as often as I fight loadout weapons. This issue seems to be the most prominent in BTIS. COuld just be me but I feel the same.
I just think the incendiary cannon is the problem (sorry if i spelt it incorrectly)
Theres no other gun in Halo 4 that is as powerful as it.
IMO 343 need to either make it less common or rare in MM games or reduce its damage, ammo etc.
It’s really not that often, matchmaking is a blast, I get plenty of kills with just loadout weapons just fine, and when I get a power weapon I go to town, just like halo 2/3 etc, I love matchmaking, especially after the update.
My issue is the ranking system, here’s hope for 5/6.

It’s not that often? You sir are as wrong as wrong can be
I mean, 3 had a good amount of power weapon drops too, Reach as well, this update just tweaked the spawns for better playing, and if you cant ge enough kills with your loadouts then practice is needed, no matter what you’ll still get wrecked by a random rocket etc, just like previous titles.

Are people to stupid to realize that this game has more power weapons then any other Halo? You get your own with ordinance and even more on the map. Think
The problem isn’t the amount, but the frequency of spawns for these weapons. Check out my thread discussing it and vote https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst213589_Crazy-weapon-timers.aspx
The new vehicle and weapon spawns are complete garbage. How the hell did that happen??? Less freakin vehicles and power weapons is what this game needs not MORE. Omg. BTB is pretty much ruined with the update.

In a 4v4 match.
15 kills * 4 players = 60 kills.
15 kills = 3 ordnance?
8*3= 24 ordnance each match.
Possibly 24 power weapons coming from ordnance.
If you have 3 power weapons on map spawning every 2 minute that would give you 21 power weapons in a 12 minute long match.
21+24=45 power weapons at maximum?
In halo 3 most weapons spawned every 2-3 min. Lets say 2:30 min with 3 Power Weapons, which would mean about 17 Power Weapons would be on the map through a 12 minute match.
The have gone from around 17 to 45 Power Weapons in a standard 4v4 match, when you assume that there are 3 power weapons spawning on the map.
Yea there are way too many that spawn way too fast. Im pretty much stuck playing Team Obj because it has the least amount of randomness. Now if only they could fix the spawning for oddball and koth…
The last games I played were lost because of the crazy amount of power weapon spawns
All they need to do is go back to 3/reach settings, with an option for infinity as well.
By this I mean, standard loadouts, more base on map weapons, radar in BTB, you get my drift.
They obviously worked, cause those games have more population than this one!
> The problem isn’t the amount, but the frequency of spawns for these weapons.
I still think the amount is a problem too but this. I swear the Sword was on a minute spawn cycle on Solace. Either change Personal ordenance to power-ups, or severly lessen the amount/frequency of power weapons, at this rate the game will fall to nothing but rocket spam.
Just go back to pre TU maps if we have to, at least there weren’t too many problems there…
But yes, its the frequency of the spawns, coupled with a “Gift from God” power weapon ordnance that just make this a game of friggin Fiesta atm!
Way too many power weapons. Weapons also despawn quicker and their excuse is that they don’t want to clutter the map with power weapons.
My captain obvious response is: if you didn’t want there to have too many power weapons cluttering, then you shouldn’t have placed so many of them and made it so you can easily obtain one yourself.

yep
There were already more than enough power weapons in the game with personal ordnance. Now with extremely fast respawning power weapons placed on map, it is just ridiculous. BTB feels like ‘BTB Heavies Extreme’ now. It is pure chaos.
Also I think vehicle play was challenging enough in Halo 4 with all the plasma pistols and stickies in personal loadouts plus personal ordnance.
Now a warthog is just a big explosive on wheels.
I miss the times of previous Halo titels when you had to fight for a power weapon and when you finally had it you felt kind of unstoppable because you were for example the only one with rockets right now.
i dont like the way things are
