its just I don't want to have to worry about grabbing them first before someone else does. I want to use all skill. I want the feeling that you win from your own actions, not some powerup.
Actually, controlling the powerup spawns is part of controlling the map and takes skill (in the form of strategy). The powerups are there for anyone to use, if your opponent is whipping your butt because he knows how to control the map, maybe it's time to learn how to keep him away from the powerups.
Besides, Bungie is smart about where the powerups are placed. The invis and RL are spawned on the bottom floor of Prisoner, the OS, RL, and sniper rifle are spawned in extremely exposed death traps on Hang 'em High. The OS and RL are spawned on the bottom of Damnation, etc. So unless you have a few grenade tricks up your sleeve, these are pretty tough (or at least very inconvenient) to get to.
Judging by the Plasma Sword placement on Zanzibar, I think Bungie will continue to be smart about the placement on Halo 2. :)
