I did respawn time tests today.
Unlike in Halo 3, the power weapons do not respawn at certain specific times of the game, they have countdown timers to their respawn. If a weapon remains on the map, even if it's on someone's back with zero ammunition, it will NOT respawn. If a player holds on to a weapon with no ammunition for longer than 3 minutes and then swaps it for another weapon, it will then respawn instantly at it's designated respawn point.
3 minute respawns:
Sniper
Rockets
Shotgun
2 minute 30 seconds:
Grenade Launcher
30 seconds
All other weapons*
15 seconds:
Health packs
Weapons that are dropped on the ground will disappear after 30 seconds, this will not trigger them to respawn, they will only respawn after their countdown timer has reached it's designated time.
*All other weapons seem to be 30 seconds, I haven't confirmed this for all weapons though.
