I get that point but think. One guy spawns with an AR because he was busy fighting other guys. The guy on the blue team has a sniper. The guy on the red team is unanimously screwed. This is half the reason I love COD more.
Okay, Max. You beat it out of me and I suddenly remember an idea I had years ago. The problem with what you're saying is the guy screwed has zero control over his fate. He's dead in the water and its up to his next spawn to get a better shot.
What if you had the option while you're respawning to pick a particular type of spawn? Before, it was always random and it can stay random for those people who wouldn't care for this feature, but the most popular argument I hear about any new idea is, "it's just not Halo." My friend, this idea IS Halo.
While respawning, you have the option to pick from 4 different types of spawns and the system will do its best to put you where you want. You press Y to spawn by an ally out of combat, X to spawn in your base or in random cover, B to spawn in combat (where you are needed), and A to spawn away from combat. Is there problems with this? Youbetcha. It makes it easier for griefers, but then again, what doesn't these days. What about the advantages? The player has more control over his fate. If he knows there is a sniper covering most of the area, he might want to press X. If he knows his buddies are in trouble, he can try to press B to attempt to do what he can.

Thank you, I've always thought that. I just recently started posting in the Public forums again, which is why you've never heard me. :)
That's hilarious! So did I! I've been planning to attack this forum with my ideas for weeks, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. When I saw the sticky about the campaign, it made me remember why I fell in love with the Bungie community. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend you do.
