I cannot be the only one that thinks the shotgun/sword loadouts are both very overpowered in the third phase.. I have had games when the entire defensive strategy is to sit by the doors with shotgun. Personally, I feel like there should only be a shotty in the weapons cache, which might make it more difficult to defend.
Does anyone else feel the same? Thoughts? Opinions?

Discuss.

What about the grenade launcher loadout?

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

I agree. I think that any powerful weapon as a loadout is a bad idea.

Yeah, and I also agree with the grenade launcher loadout, though shotgun is much more annoying if you try to play objective. What if there was a GL, shotty, sniper, and rockets in the cache? Instead of laser? I personally feel that laser is almost pointless on boneyard. It's the only weapon that's never picked up when I play.

Or another option would be to replace the rockets with grenade launcher because with an indoor environment, they can be a little overpowered as well..

Add a sniper. SNIPING FTW.

When I run into games like that I just let them stand there, and we have an old fashioned standoff. They cant kill us if we dont go in there!

There already is one, and it dominates in the rights hands.. I like the idea of taking out rockets and replacing them with 'nade launcher. Rockets are too powerful in that enclosed space. I know that for a fact, because I tend to take sniper AND rockets when I'm an elite on offense.

Phase 3 on Boneyard is very poorly balanced. Actually, Phase 3 for all three Invasion maps isn't properly balanced in one way or another.

Agreed on this point, though Breakpoint is much better than the other two.. We should start posting about this on the 343 froums, and try to get some changes to the maps. There are solutions to almost every problem each map has, and it won't require a lot of work, just the loadouts and a few weapons here or there..

Spawning with power weapons has always been a stupid idea.

Yea, invasion is pretty much the only thing I play now, and the randoms in that playlist blowww. I kind of surprise myself with my k/d in it playing as a random lol. But sure thing, Ill add you and the next time you want to run some invasion invite me.
