We have been raised for combat...
We carry our banner to our fights...
Alone we are a menace, together we are a threat...
Born to raise hell, live to drop back in it...
Never retreat, never surrender... we are spartans.

Updated OP including this;
Power weapons may not be on set timers
We're hearing that power weapons may not respawn in at set intervals, adding some unpredictability as to when rocket launchers, Spartan Lasers, and WMDs may reappear on the battlefield. The point of this is to make sure experienced players won't dominate matches by running timed circuits to grab all the best goodies.
That's ALWAYS been the point of Halo. The best players get the best weapons first and usually get the most kills. It's not fair randomizing every possible aspect of the game so some 10 year old thumbless squeaker won't get his feelings hurt in MM.
That's actually a very unfair and unbalanced way of thinking. By your logic the "elite" players will always win because they have the best or biggest weapons and not because of skill.
If you take the time to figure out where weapon spawns are then you deserve to grab them first. Why should somebody who doesn't know deserve a waypoint to show them "here little buddy, this will show you where rockets spawn."?
It's not elitist. ANYBODY can learn where weapon spawns are. If you've played Reach for a year and still don't know where weapon spawns are on most of the maps, you're stupid, and if somebody else grabs them first because they know where to go then it's only fair.
343 is giving bad kids crutches, nothing more. You don't improve if you rely on crutches.
First off: I didn't knew about the waypoint part, in that case I reconsider my standing on that.
Second: If people don't know where the weapons spawn then bad for them yes, it will belong to anyone who gets it first.
Finally: I didn't say knowing where the weapon spawns was elitist, only the idea of the best players always getting the best weapons was. If that was not what you meant then I apology for it's how I understood.
