Unlike any of the other things I posted up about WZFF, anything having to do with the Covenant negates the majority of my complaints. They’re actually fun to fight, they don’t soak up bullets unless you count the Goblin but that’s technically a Promethean unit and they don’t have -Yoink- boss waves. Each time I fight the Covenant I know I’m going to have a great time. The saddest part of each battle is when it’s over because I know 343i’s gotta shove more Prometheans down my throat. I try my best to bite the bullet and push on to the next Covenant engagement which is beyond worth it,
The Covenant has always been fun to fight, never have I hated duking it out with them unless you count drones which even then they had their moments. Hell I’d really like to see them return In Halo 6 but this time with no energy shields, unless they’re a boss then go crazy.
All the problems of WZFF just float away whenever I fight the Covenant because they’re just so fun to kill. Maybe in the future there will a bigger focus on the gamemode being fun then hard. Honestly I’m not sure why there isn’t any way to choose what you want to fight like Covenant, Promethean or mixed modes. There isn’t even a light version of firefight, it’s either you’re a badass or you’re going to have a bad time.
