This is such a massive issue for me in warzone, because almost all weapons de-spawn mere seconds after they are dropped or you are killed. This is so infuriating when you burn a really good card and just get spawn killed at one of the points. When you respawn to try and get it again, it’s already gone. And this happens when I kill an enemy and try to retrieve a weapon off them. By the time I run over to them, it’s long gone. I really want this to change, because in BTB and slayer, this isn’t an issue as A. The respawn timer is shorter and B. The weapons don’t despawn after two seconds. Why can’t it be the same?
There is no reason why you shouldn’t have a second chance when you pull out a spartan laser card or a rocket launcher card and are just killed instantly. You have zero chance to recover it unless someone picks it up. Weapon despawn times have to drastically be extended.
think we would have an issue with way too many power weapons being in play at once then. warzone already has this issue in longer matches. but with longer despawn times it would just be a complete -Yoink!-
I know losing a REQ card like mentioned above sucks,we’ve all been there at one point .But Despawn times should stay more or less the way they are now man,to avoid flooding the matches with Power Weapons and feeling like we’re in a Michael Bay movie with all the explosions going about.
“Overflow” of power weapons should not be an excuse. Actually, it isn’t at all. Losing a card immediately as you spawn because the enemy is spawn camping your armory with three or four tanks and not being able to use a laser or rocket against them is far worse than one extra power weapon on the team. Actually, overflow is not even a reason. When the enemy team locks you out at the very start of the game and you have 3-4 req points while they have 6-7, there is a huge unbalance. There is no way to counter it unless you sit there slogging rounds at tanks or gauss hogs because you can’t get out a rocket because you don’t have enough for a rocket launcher, and when do get one you lose it immediately.
I don’t know maybe it’s a new UNSC weapon protocol to keep enemies from retrieving powerful ordinates off of dead Spartans.
