Sadly, another post that can fix gameplay.
Change the spawns. The spawning in this is so predictable.
Once a player gets a kill, give them back full shield. Way too many encounters end with getting shot from behind by a 3rd party after killing someone else.
Force the gun swaps! People just sit there and milk the AR or pistol. Either force players to swap weapons or don’t give them xp towards other guns until they swap
Yes to everything you wrote! All of that happened to me the first 7 matches. Needless to say, I was the first Spartan to die in all those matches within the first 2 minutes.
The spawn system definitely needs the most work. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve died immediately because I was repawned within shooting distance of another player. I even got killed 3 times to the same player because I repawned close by to them.
There should also be more balanced matches. I play the game about two times a week, and really only play for fun so I’m not the best player out there. So it doesn’t seem fair that I get thrown into matches against other players who are more skilled than me. Players like me don’t stand a chance. It makes it hard trying to complete Challenges that want me to kill 50 Spartans in LSS.
The only way I can just get placed 4th is hiding. I at least want a fighting chance.
