That has a table that's pretty useful.

That's exactly the sort of thing I see and just have to shake my head a bit. Why did fans have to go and make a table?

At a certain point, why does Bungie make everything so obtuse? Would it really that bad if the tooltip when you mouse over Escalation Protocol told you what the weapon was for the week? Just give the players some actual information. It really doesn't need to be as difficult as they apparently think it is sometimes.

There's a fine line between explaining what needs to be explained, and letting players discover the rules. In Halo 1-3, you had to figure out that the overcharge from the plasma pistol dropped the shields of elites. Combine it with a headshot weapon, and you're all set.

But ODST had a line of dialogue from Buck literally explaining this to you. That's bad.

In some sense, having players figure out WHAT drops is good. But not WHEN it drops. That's really stupid.
