I honestly hate the new Warzone Firefight. I loved Firefght back in Reach and ODST but so many things about it has been removed. First off what I really don’t like is respawning. I would love to just run in the middle of everything and just kill as many as possible before dying. I may have died a lot but I would always get the most kills by far. There may be a better way of doing this but this is what I found fun but with the new update death now carries a penalty of a ridiculously long time of idle waiting doing absolutely nothing. My favorite fighting style of just getting out there and enjoying myself is replace by being super cautious which is not fun. I also dislike the “kill all enemies before the time runs out to transition to the next wave” idea, I much preferred the “kill as many as you can before time runs out”. I also dislike the number of players. I can rarely get kills when trying to be super careful about everything I do but with so many players combined with the long respawn times I spend the majority of a game not doing anything. The fun casual game I loved has been replaced by something I have to actually work hard and put a bunch of effort to do. This might not be a common opinion and I am fine if people disagree, I am just so disappointed in firefight and was hoping for something more to what we use to have. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful but I really don’t like it and probably won’t be playing it any time soon. It would be cool if they decided to add a “normal firefight” or a “classic firefight” playlist.
Personally, in my opinion. An easy game is more mind-numbingly boring than the 30 second wait. I like the challenge.
That said, there are a few encounters that need tweaking.
-The golden grunt mech on Apex 7 (beat it with a phaeton helios)
-The last Urban encounter where you kill the 4 soldiers in the middle then have to fight all the way through a horde of knights to kill 3 Warden eternals in the home base, one is a mythic. (Almost beat that twice with a bunch of tanks)
I don’t think they should decrease the timer, unless they have an adequate replacement. Like a number of lives (But that will generate complaints as well). They should also not make it easy.
I’ll agree to the extent that a 30 second wait in a 5 minute round is way too long.
