2v2 Weapon Set

No sniper. Increase the nade launcher and concussion ammo by one. Done, test it, bag it, release it.

 

I believe the DMRs should be on 10 second respawn if you keep the 0 clips and 2 spare if you keep it at 50. or even an easy medium at 25 seconds and 1 spare clip?
Though it may seem it's too close quarters for DMRs, they do work very well on this map.

And increase the 2 crypto suggested as well as raise the timer to 120.

For the sniper, Snipers may be a long range weapon but again they work very well on small maps because you have to be fast with it but that's your call.

I would not even bother picking up any of those weapons knowing they'll run dry halfway through a kill or at best after one kill. Plasma Pistol is the only powerful one there since it has ammo.

 

The DMRs are nothing more than ammo refills for the weapons a player already spawns with. Decent ammo refills should supply the player with enough ammunition to resume fighting their enemy until they can come across another ammo refill. Given that this is a 2v2 map, I would recommend you give them two extra clips. With only one total clip, those extra DMRs can't fulfill their role as a resupply point for players. They simply don't give out enough ammunition to be worth travelling towards, and whatever you happen to gain from them will be expelled quicker than it can be replaced. This will cause a shortage of ammunition for players who constantly win their DMR duels, and will put too much of a focus on the power and secondary weapons (see below).

The Plasma Pistol. Oh boy.

I'm assuming both teams spawn with one Plasma Pistol already under their control. I am also assuming the pistols were added to give players a way to push back against spawn camps (assuming you will be using fixed spawns). The PPs should be set to a relatively high respawn count to prevent the EMP-Headshot gameplay we all hate. While it is admittedly harder to pull off in Reach than in other games, it is still a cancer to competitive play that should be prevented as fully as possible.

Edit: Those Plasma Pistols are actually the strongest weapons in your map. Who needs map control when you have ten EMP bursts handed to you at spawn. Adding in a higher respawn time won't make the Plasma Pistol any less effective as helping break a spawn trap. It will simply put more emphasis on conserving your ammo and fighting for power weapons. By raising the respawn count you only make the Plasma Pistol more valuable.

Those power weapons are almost pointless given so little ammo. The reasoning behind adding any neutral power weapon to a map is that it gives the players a reason to play aggressively and control the map. When successfully placed and designed, a power weapon can heavily reward those who are able to win the fight for its spawn location. With as little ammo as you've given them, the Grenade Launcher and Concussion Rifle give almost no definitive incentive to fight for map control. I would be much safer camping with my teammate in our original spawn.

Broccoli, don't be afraid of making your power weapons overpowering. Feel free to add ammunition until those weapons feel like a realistic threat that needs to be controlled.

Pretty much this.

 

Being 2v2, looks to work the best, if this is an old topic, and the map is already released, sorry.

 

I'm not sure why the NR takes longer to spawn than the DMR, yet still hast he same amount of ammo. Maybe give the NR 2 spare clips and put it at 50 secs while leaving the DMRs at 0 spares with 10-15 sec respawn.

 

I think if DMR spawn every 50 seconds, you should give it atleast 1 spare Clip. I also think that's the case with the Concussion Rifle and the Grenade Launcher.
