Adding reqs to matchmaking

Op while you have and idea its not for any ranked playlist… Heck if it was me I would do away with the rocket launcher… LOL. But if there was a separate playlist for it that would be a different story. Just the thought of a mythic Req in arena slayer makes me cringe! >.<

Zippy.

Mythics? Nah.
I’d be fine with a Razor’s Edge with no spare clips replacing a Needler, or even a Talon of the Lost replacing a Hydra (this might be better in BTB than other Arena modes). I’m all for variety in any aspect of a game that can possibly have any sort of it. However, nothing so extreme as a SPNKr Prime could have a balanced place in standard Arena matchmaking.
Weapons like Lawgiver, Blood of Suban, Open Hand, or maybe even End of the Line (I’m pushing it a little bit with that) have a place they might be able to fill in Arena, because they were built with more balance in mind, given their relative ease of acquisition. Mythics like Nornfang and Oathsworn were built to be OP, given their incredible rarity. They wouldn’t be balanced, even with severe ammo storage penalties. While some can be, and I encourage their use (again, variety is a must-have, in my opinion), Mythics cannot.
So, yes, I’d like to see Req weapons in Arena, but not Mythics, unless there was some way to balance it.
P.S. If a map used a glitched weapon variant in a balanced (but still usable) manner, it would get an instant 5/5 from me. That would be great.

yeah most mythics are way too unbalanced. but having a whispered truth without the speed boost on the map would be cool. i feel like some of the reqs would be cool just for social playlists or just to make the game more diverse. atleast with the right balance, like norfangs way too unfair for arena or the spnkr prime and things of that nature.

random suppressed items or different scopes is cool and works fine for me so far. random exstended mag weapons on map as power weapons i feel could really help keep things changing each season.

I understand your idea of Mythic weapons in Arena. The fact that you don’t understand that it’s his opinion, and also calling him names ruins your case. In my case however, I will present evidence.

  1. Mythic weapons are designed to work in the Huge warzone maps. Imagine if the higher level shotguns (with increased range and damage) were in the smaller maps. It would be unfair to the team that fails to grab it.
  2. Some of the attributes on the weapons are designed make them unusable in CQC situations (the rocket launcher that shoots three rockets, or The Answer would probably kill the user).
  3. they are not balanced for spartans only. They were designed to be used against vehicles, AI, and bosses. It would just be overkill.

However, a couple of the weapons (Fury, End of the Line, or Open Hand) are stable enough to be implemented, but Mythic weapons are just too unstable for the Arena environment.

And I though I’m an iDiot with spending more then 500€ for Reqs…

Literally why we have Super Fiesta every few weeks.

Maybe in action sack or warzone but not in a competitive or social playlists unless its super fiesta.Halo 5’s power weapons have more magnetism than previous halos did due to spartan abiltiies and the weapons are not underwhelming they work fine(some do) if you know how and when to use them.Also halos population left more and more due to reach,halo 4,mcc and halo 5.Not because of what your’re suggesting

No. That would be the worst possible idea for Arena. The “fun” in Halo, at least for arena, arent some crazy wacky overpowered weapons. I mean no disrespect in this, but If Halo (arena) gets boring to you without having req weapons, you either need to stick to Warzone or Halo just might not be your game. Either that or you need to approach arena with a different mindset and maybe you’ll see how fun it can be without a nornfang lol

You’re right. I would even argue that H5 has brought more people back to halo than any of the games you mentioned did.

Reach and Halo 4 shrunk the active population. Adding req weapons to arena in H5 would crucify it.

We must be playing different Halo’s if you don’t find Arena “fast paced and quick thinking” lol

yeah it brought back some but nowhere near the population of h3 at launch and post launch 1 year + after release

Can a mod just lock this thread already? OP bashing and stat-flaming everyone who doesn’t agree with him already. Cannot believe that an simple idea (albeit a really dumb one) has just spiraled into OP flaming everyone who doesn’t agree with him.

Its everything wrong with Halo 4 MP 2.0

I can see where you’re coming from but I can 100% guarantee you that if you get an exceptional sniper or someone who specializes in destroying people with an op power weapon then your game is going to go tilt so fast! Especially if you’re like me and hold a reserve shot or 2 for the power weapon respawn.

One does not simply turn a game around when the enemy team holds a Nornfang or Spnkr Prime. You pray to the almighty Hey Zues that you suffer a quick defeat!

It would throw arena out of balance, it would be overpowered

Source for people leaving? The req system is one of the many reasons people are moving on from the halo franchise,just look at the population
