    No Random Drops or Ordnance Drops

    Title says it all. I'd like for the random weapon drops and ordnance drops to be omitted from FC maps and game types.
    The reason for this is the same reason why we don't play team fiesta slayer very often. Random weapon drops and ordnance can get out of hand.
    An example of this is a recent game of Infinity Slayer that we had. Towards the middle of the game, our team had 4 Spartan lasers on the ground, I don't know about you guys but that seems a little broken to me. If a team is able to get their hands on those, then it is feasible that it can and will be done with rocket launchers, sniper rifles and shotguns.
    This was a fairly one sided game though.
    It may also make forging new maps for FC a little easier.
    What do you think?

    Re: No Random Drops or Ordnance Drops

    We have the ability to decide which weapons drop, and what the chances are for each drop. This is being debated in the war council, but I am fairly certain Splasers will be low on the drop list.

    With the rate at which you can kill someone in Halo 4 having a team using Splasers can't be very efficient. I mean sure you can clear any enemy vehicles out quickly, but I don't see you surviving long enough.

    If you can set what the drops are it will be fine. Certain gametypes like CTF shouldnt have them.

    true, but it shows a red line when you are aiming down site. So it is powerful, but it is easily dodged if you are paying attention. It can easily be beat. We cant drop something because one thing is powerful. Thats like taking rockets out of it as well because it blows up vehicals.

    It's less about Splazers and more about the strong getting and staying stronger.

    This is what the Beta War is for, Rokkman. We will be trying every possible idea on game variants, so if you (or anyone else) has more ideas for us to try out, let us know so we can test 'em out!

    What max said. We can hammer out the details during the beta war. I personally see the random weapons making the game more push and pull. Instead of one team dominating the weapon spawns a losing team can get lucky and get some momentum. Plus power weapons are not as big in this game (in my experience so far) as they where on Halo 3 and Reach.

    REDD or BLUE Resistance comes through!
