And crashes necessitating a hard reset. Save often.
I wish you could combine the two systems by making Initial Ordnance drops with weapons weighted like Global Ordnance drops, so you could have, for example, a 3/6 chance of dropping a Fuel Rod Gun, a 2/6 chance of a Rocket Launcher, and a 1/6 chance for an Incineration Cannon.
Best of both worlds, consistent locations while keeping a bit of the "variety" 343 wants.

I need to get back to Skyrim, put about 30 hours in and stopped for some reason. Maybe it was the load times like kylej said

Placing items on the map without using initial ordnance does still work. I've used it in Slayer custom games.
You can. Just use the Random Ordnance instead if you want multiple weapon options.
Half-Life? Seriously? We're talking about a multiplayer game here right? Not to mention Half-Life has like 3-4 worthwile weapons that you'll use. Probably can get around with just the gravity gun for the most part. What does that say about its weapon sandbox? And I don't see the point in listing for me a bunch of titles where (you believe) this doesn't happen when I can show you several titles where it does. Whether or not Quake does it has no significance. They're not even the same type of FPS. One has vehicles the other doesn't, etc.
There are better things to whine about.
Can someone help me? I bought the Halo 4 trinity headset, and the cable to talk with and such, has the two plastic things near the connector. However, I have a chatpad, and the chatpad doesnt have those two connectors.
Is it safe if I just cut of those two connector things? It has no metal on it, its just plastic, and I cant use my chatpad if I dont cut them off.
heres a picture for what im talking about

I just realized you're right, you can't do it exactly the way you're suggesting. You can set up to (I think) eight weapon possibilities per random drop, but you can't adjust the weighting of each option. It'll divide the possibilities evenly I guess? I suppose if you want a more control over the weighting of each possibility you could limit the number of items per individual drop and just use multiples of the same ones that you want to have an increased the weighting. Convoluted, but it could work I think.
Yes. Yes you will.

Put the game down.
Yeah, I haven't tested it (although I'm sure somebody somewhere has) but I always assumed listing a weapon 3 times and another one once would give the first a 5% chance to spawn. I was pretty disappointed to see initial ordnance only allowed you to select a single weapon. :/ I wouldn't expect that to be too difficult to change in a patch if 343 wanted to do it.
Not playing it.
No I meant put it down as in take it out back and put it to sleep.
Seems it has rabies. Sorry Yeller.

The point is, Halo is a classic arena-type FPS whereby there are a small amount of weapons designed to fit specific roles/playstyles on the battlefield.
CoD, Battlefield, Counterstrike, etc, have a much larger assortment of weapons with a much smaller gradation of different between them, within a given class (assault rifles, shotguns, SMGs, etc).
If Halo wants to go all the way into being a CoD clone, then it will have to offer many many many more weapons to provide for a level of customization on par with those games. Until then, so long as it remains an arena shooter, offering several weapons that fill the same role on the battlefield is redundant and only adds balance issues and chaos.
