“Hey, definitely don’t read too much into this, screenshots are from internal pre-release builds. Balance is always a priority, that will determine if/where it’s supported,” he said.

343 Industries also showed off and discussed how ordnance drops will drop onto Big Team Battle maps in particular locations. These are not, however, kill streaks similar to what you might find in Call of Duty, according to community manager John Junyszek.
