Here’s what I’m thinking; Warzone has AI characters including Marines, Covenant, and Prometheans, right? So… what happens if I go into Custom Games, alone, select Warzone, and start playing? Will I be able to play it as sort of a mock-Firefight game mode? Maybe even play around with the Custom Game Settings to have AI spawn more frequently and alter objectives, to turn Warzone into Firefight?
I was really hoping for 343i to bring back Firefight for Halo 5: Guardians, and while Warzone looks like fun, I would better appreciate a gametype that is strictly PvE like Firefight was. One of the things I loved about Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach was the option to just kick back, relax, and blast through waves of Covenant using my favorite weapons… especially in Halo: Reach, with it’s wealth of customization options for Firefight.
Anyone see where I’m coming from? Warzone doesn’t look like it will fill that vital niche in Halo’s PvE experience if it doesn’t allow you to play solo.
No Custom Games for this mode. Sorry man, maybe in the next one.
That would be nice. Just go in solo and take out AI hordes and bosses.
Warzone is an online only experience. no offline or custom/forge support.
Would have loved that tbh
Like previous replies are saying, You can only play Warzone online. No Custom Games, No Forge. >:( I will really miss Friefight. Damn it 343.

sigh I heard this in another thread right after I made this topic.
We really need Firefight in Halo 5: Guardians. No custom game options, no offline play… and not even a single-player option? Warzone will not be an acceptable replacement for Firefight any more than Spartan Ops was.
I have to wonder why 343i is taking these big risks with these new game modes like Spartan Ops and Warzone, which feel like gimmicks more than anything else, when they could simply improve upon Halo: Reach’s version Firefight mode.
There’s a lot they could still do with Firefight; bigger maps with large-scale vehicle battles that emulate Halo 3’s most epic Campaign missions like “The Ark” and “The Covenant”, heavy vehicles like the Scorpion, Mantis, Banshee, and the new Phaeton, Forerunner, Flood, and Promethean enemies, friendly AI like what was seen on the Installation 04 map in Halo: Reach’s Anniversary Map Pack, interactive map features like on Halo 2 and Halo 3 multiplayer maps… the list goes on. Firefight has so much more potential, and 343i won’t even touch it.
Yeah it has a lot of potential, I too would really would love to see a Firefight/PvE kind of mode where we can play solo. Firefight from ODST and Reach and Halo 4’s Spartan Ops could be played entirely solo…so for Warzone I don’t see why it has to be mandatory to rely on other players 24/7 (alot of players I assume, given these are big maps) just to play the thing. If there’s internet trouble or if there’s not enough players that happen to be playing for whatever reason then, we’re pretty much SOL. Otherwise the mode looks fun. I want to be excited for it…

You can always play it back on H3:ODST or on H:Reach in about a few months. Like less than two months after H5’s release
I have a feeling it’s because Warzone matches are hosted in the cloud. Or at least partially.

It’s unfortunate that 343 didn’t put a PvE a totally PvE game mode in. I really regret getting the game because bascially paid $59.99 for a campaign I’m going to play a couple times then be done with. Halo PvP is just boring so I’m not even gonna entertain the thought of playing it on this game because it’s so much like call of duty.
No but it’s a really good and hopefully 343 will add it in post launch
Yes I would definitely like to see pve m8de like firefight especially now that campaign is pretty much dead
Hello from the future if you search up on youtube you can kinda do this in custom games you can pretty much play a warzone firefight all by yourself.

Discussion of that isn’t allowed on waypoint at the moment. Don’t revive very old threads please.
