Love the new stuff but need more old stuff too

Does anybody else feel like this game is SO close to being fantastic but is just short of the mark?

 

 

I love all the new additions like the Mantis, loadouts, Ordnance drops, customizations, abilities, maps, new weapons etc... but I can't help like they took out some of the things I love from older games like Halo 3 when they didn't need to

 

For me, and it's just my humble opinion, they took away too many things of the things I loved in halo 3 (didn't particularly like reach) For example, predictable weapon spawns, skill ranking system, resupply (as an all the time feature, not just an ability)

 

I for one HATE running out of ammo..I get that if you rattle off 10 kills in a row you may need to make a move for more ammo but now it's realistic that you make a couple of kills with the DMR and by the time you track down the body you just killed from mid range, their weapon/ammo is gone. If they had a couple of predetermined spots where a BR/DMR spawned, I could at least track that spot down and regroup. I just don't see why this can't coexist with ordnance drops. Maybe make one of the options in your ordnance drops more ammo for your current gun rather than the stupid needler or damage boost! And I realize you can start with more ammo if you choose that ability but then you sacrifce resupply or something else.

 

If it aint broke, don't fix it.. I wish 343 stuck to that more. Still a great game, but I'm hoping for a couple of small tweaks to make the game great.

Could not agree more!!! Loving the new game a lot but the ammo issue is serious and the lack of basic ammo say in Valhalla (Ragnarok) what happened to the BR's at the bases and around the centre??? I often run out of ammo see someone die go for his gun only to find it gone!!

 

It can be annoying as you end up in no mans land having to camp till an enemy gets close or new weapons spawn (something I hate doing) or just run out and die!!

 

Most weapons are predictable enough and the other places they spawn happen the same in each round, it just means you have to move to get them which is good IMO as I have noticed people have taken to camping by power weapon spawns i.e. the sniper in Ragnarok, the tank in Exile etc. which is a very *** COD attitude thats needs gettin rid of.

 

But there should be more easily available primary weapon ammo either from set places or dead friends/foes.

Exactly! I can't tell you how many times I've grabbed the sniper in place of my secondary weapon on Ragnarok, rattled off a small handful of kills, switched to my DMR when that ammo was gone, rattled off a couple more kills until that's gone and then I'm SOL for ammo and weapons. Why am I being punished for playing well? If I get a few kills I may be saved by an ordnance drop, but even then it's sometimes grenades, shield boost or a needler. even if it's a power weapon, it might not be great head to head combat.

 

god forbid if I miss a few times or to help a teammate I send a few long distance shots with the DMR that connect, but the player escapes behind a rock. Now I've got no ordnance drop and a couple of empty clips. Should I not be helping my team and just sit back until I have a perfect opportunity to make a kill? This needs fixing for sure
