When 343i said they would make power weapons spawn randomly..

Games Other Halo

I think they meant not on a set time, so even if a player has it, it can respawn. I don’t think they meant for it to respawn 10 seconds or even 2 minutes later.

Say it has a set time range, 1 minute 40 seconds to 2 minutes The weapon could spawn any time between that. This balances the game, since with the Reach and Halo 3 system, if someone is carrying a power weapon it will not respawn until it runs out.

But I also believe it could be done incorrectly - with a whole team using the same weapon.

Let’s see what 343i does with it. Dangerous grounds to mess with.

I thought…

In Halo 3 if a weapon had a spawn time of two minutes it would spawn regardless if someone was carrying it still or not.

In Halo: Reach a weapon would not spawn unless it had been gotten rid of.

If there is a time gap (say 1:30 - 2 minutes) in Halo 4 for a power weapon to spawn, I’m still hoping the model remains like the Halo 3 one.

I hope they meant that they’d spawn in random places. I hate when people rush the power weapons at the start of a match -.-

Frankie himself said that they weren’t talking about random weapon placement, merely timers. Even then, he didn’t give specifics.

The rush for the power weapons and vehicles at the start of the game is a fun part of Halo.

No its really not. Its better to fight with what you have and pick stuff up along the way. That’s what a real Spartan does :stuck_out_tongue:

Weapon timing is a MAJOR part of competitive halo. Random weapon timings would be very bad for MLG

Yeah, it’s bad for competitive play period. It’s something that puts me above players that don’t time weapons, it’s not hard to do or anything and perfectly timing a weapon should be rewarded.
