Does anyone remember if the beta had weapons on a dynamic or static weapon timer? Also, have their been any announced changes? To elaborate a little bit, in default settings in Halo 3, a weapon's respawn timer began after they were picked up, and the user stood still for 2-4 seconds/died. For those familiar with the term, they were constantly "dirtied". When two high-caliber teams faced off, the games go to whomever had the best early rush, so only their team would know when to push for power weapons the entire game. MLG settings introduced drop spawns, which simulates the weapons being picked up and then frozen for the 2-4 seconds. This allowed for weapon spawn times to be consistent, so both teams would have an equal chance at them throughout the match. (Unless they were dirtied, which means they were grabbed mid-fall). In this scenario, Bungie should learn from the guys over at MLG, and weapons should be placed on a static timer, instead of the dynamic timer that made Halo 3 unbalanced at higher levels. The static timer actually allows for teams to make intelligent pushes after losing the opening rush, instead of random ones. Thanks for your time, and please discuss.
