Are the sandbox rockets a drop spawn? If not, the 3 second immobility period is a non-issue,
You say drop spawns are the only time you need the 3 second immobility? i always thought it was the other way around, where drop spawns are the only time you don't need it.
Correct.
Drop-spawns are the only type of weapon timer spawn that you need the 3 second period of immobility to start the respawn timer, provided you interrupt the animation (i.e, dirty the weapon)
Most default power weapon spawns are not drop spawns, therefore, the timer begins instantaneously. I.e, you pick up rockets on Sandbox at 11:55 and they respawn at 8:55, regardless of whether or not you have a 3 second period of immobility.
I'm like 98% sure. IDK. I've never heard of a dirtied power weapon in default, but I know for a fact that you have to stop moving to restart a power weapon timer on a dirtied drop spawn (MLG).
Either way....
Not really an issue for the type of people who would benifit from this thread I was just pointing out what I perceived to be an error.
I think tryhard is right, you have a it backwards.
MLG's drop spawns are to prevent dirtying, because non-drop spawns are dirtied by default. It forces you to stand still for 3 seconds for the timer to start. I guess Bungie wanted to prevent the possibility of having multiples of power weapons at the same time.
@Topic
Riot did a commentary about the same thing here about 5 months back if anyone doesn't feel like reading/downloading. Although it's very basic, so you may get more out of OP's.
You should get someone to cap the video for you and add a commentary, if possible. It's much more enjoyable :]
