Why is There Heavy in Rumble?
The title says it all. Only 2 people can get it, and they dominate the game until it runs out. It gives them an unfair advantage. I can understand Heavy in regular pvp as everyone in the game can get it. But it really should be taken out of Rumble.

Actually, it used to be whoever killed the heavy user gets to pick up that heavy: therefore anyone could steal it. However, they got rid of that half way through year 1 because people weren't good enough to kill them

Why can you pick up the rocket launcher in halo?

Because it's easy to take down.

Nothings wrong with heavy. If anything just make it one spot not two

I detest heavy in nearly every mode but 6v6s. It always feels less like "fight for heavy" and more like "hope your team will push for it" or "hope I spawn near it". I don't understand people who like it for the fact that losing players can catch up. That's basically saying that a worse player got lucky and took heavy out from underneath a better player and can now possibly win because of it. I've only played a handful of rumbles and I could imagine the frustration of being a good player dying repeatedly to machine guns from lesser players.

Because it is a "rubber band" mechanism. A way for players who are trailing in a match to shift the momentum, and catch up. But it also gives someone who's established control a means of finishing off their oppoents, and the match. Its there for everyone to fight for, and potentially control. Nothing really "unfair" about it.

I think I know the answer. I'm not saying if I agree or disagree but I believe this is the reason it's there. 6 people in Rumble, about half way through there'll be 2 people doing really well and 2-4 about 600 points behind. The heavy is to keep whoever is below 2nd interested enough to see out the entire match, knowing that; 1) could pinch heavy and catch up/win 2) the games gone on long enough by then that they don't quit because if they stay they'll get potentially a decent legendary at the end. I think that's why it stays. I get what you're saying though. If you're the guy that's bossing it, then get wrecked during heavy phase and lose it hurts!
-
Because there is a bounty for it. Other than that yeah it's stupid. At least make it like year one. If you killed someone that had heavy ammo you could take it from them.

You say because we didn't get it in time. [spoiler]Makes great super bait.[/spoiler]
