After playing Halo 5: Guardians for awhile, especially in arena matchmaking, it has become apparent that the weapon variety on maps is generally pretty bad. Most maps seems to be limited to BR, SMG, and maybe a Lightrifle. this being said a fix to this would be simple, and greatly appreciated, seeing as the Arena can become bland thanks to the lack of different weapons from map to map.
Personally i agree. However, i do not find this as a problem because i mainly use the AR/Mag combo
I disagree slightly. There’s more variety than just what you claim, although it would be nice to see a little more options on maps. A Sword, Needler, or Boltshot here or there. Maybe a Hydra on a few more maps or something.
Empire: Storm Rifle, Shotgun, Plasma Pistol, SMG, BR
Pegasus: LR, SMG, Shotgun, Plasma Pistol, Carbine
Fathom: Boltshot, SMG, LR, Storm Rifle, BR
Truth: Sword, Carbine, BR, SMG, Storm Rifle, Plasma Pistol
Plaza: Hydra, LR, SMG, Storm Rifle, Boltshot, BR
Rig: Boltshot, SMG, Scattershot, BR, Carbine
Coliseum: Supressor, Scattershot, DMR, SMG, BR
Regret: Needler, Carbine, DMR, Boltshot, Plasma Pistol, Storm Rifle

Obviously there’s more maps, but I think I made my point that there are other weapons that show up, but at the same time, yeah, I think I might like a few more.
I would argue this is for a more competitive play style. Don’t most pro map variants have limited weapons?
I would love to see the SAW, Beam Rifle, Recon DMR, Gauss turret, and Phaeton in Arena. Balancing those would probably be a nightmare, though.
It seems to me SAW could be a weapon pad power weapon. No need to balance it if it’s a power weapon.
I think that the defeat map variety of weapons are good, but they should add a larger variety of weapon pad power weapons.
What we need is to have every map have random power weapons instead of the same thing for the same map. Just because a repeat job of rushing or camping by them and waiting to kill all who dare touch them.
Meanwhile using the Hydra is a lot of fun…
