Ordinance Drop during battles

Taking all bets! I say it gets to 15

Just tweak them a bit. (We already have gametypes for 4v4, 6v6, and 8v8 maps right?) So just change the odds or score for each one a bit. In reality the 4v4 maps are mostly close quarters, so weapons like sniper class weapons should be at the lowest chance of occurring, while the shotgun, sword and other close quarters weapons have a higher chance.

6v6 maps have all the weapons at a fairly equal chance of occurring. Since these tend to have a few vehicles maybe bump the anti vehicle weapons a bit. Have the needed score higher than the 4v4 maps, maybe only one or two kills more.

8v8 tend to be the biggest and most open maps. So obviously the shotgun would be fairly useless in most cases. And heavy vehicles can easily be a hot item. So bump the score up higher than the 6v6. Make heavy anti vehicle weapons spawn at a higher rate than normal. Snipers included.

This would take a lot of play testing and tweaking. So we would need constructive input and feedback that actually helps. Not just people bitching.

I would lieke to remind everyone of the boltshot poll.

Basically what we got out of that was this:

During the beta that was our chance to want change. People spoke their opinions and this is the end result. I suggest we all just deal with it. WC isn't going to make changes now. Maybe next war. But for now it's basically play the games the way it is now or just simply not play. Trust me I agree 100% with both polls (the boltshot and this one) but I have come to the conclusion that nothing is going to change right now and constantly talking about it will just result in people getting more and more pissed off and straying away from the fun factor that is suppose to be FC.

I think the reason Myth didn't do that is cause thats waaay too many gametypes to keep track of and keep updated.

I'm just tossing out ideas instead of complaining like a child. Maybe someone else could help Myth carry this out or something. Myth does a lot, but in all seriousness even he has his limits.

yeah but how can you remove that from the loadouts we have? We would have to get rid of personal loadouts to get rid of the Boltshot

Oh, trust me, you can.

Thing is, even with this poll, 29 people want to keep ordinances in some way, and 23 don't, which brings the majority to be voting to keep them, so chances are they aren't going anywhere

As far as tweaking them goes, no ones going to ignore anyone. We tweaked a lot with ordinances in the beta war, we can do it again if needed. But the customization is limited, we don't get to pick exact percentages. We'd need specifics on recommendations, not just "make these spawn less", because generally massive amounts of power weapons don't get dropped, and if they did, and there are 2-3 rocket launchers on the map, you've hit a like 1% chance. Then lowering the chance of rockets spawning from an isolated event would put it to like 0.75%, not a huge change.

So if you want tweaks, go onto Halo, check out the specifics of our current gametypes, and recommend specific changes. It's easier for us to make clear decisions like that then do all the work of testing changes you guys may not want.

I haven't even looked at creating gametypes in H4 yet. So I don't know exactly how it works.

From what I see:

REDD: Ordinance SUCK get rid of them!

BLUE(While adjusting their glasses) There's no need for fuss, you have as any chance as ever to earn ordinance and turn the tide of battle...so chill?!?

I have a theory that needs testing. Have you guys ever tried going on the map and setting like only 2 rockets per map, like you would if you spawned them directly on the map, and see if it effects ordinance?
