Defend, deffend, protect, deffend WHY??

Literally every objective is deffend or protect. This is the single worst objective because it is so unbalanced and it is now every objective in every game. Want to fight knights and soldiers with turrets inside a small base packed wall to wall? Me either. A few days ago it was kill covy every objective now deffend. Are you trying to make me quit playing halo? I have been playing since halo 1.

Yeah, I think 343 needs to go back to the drawing board on the Objectives in WZFF. It seems too often the Generator or Core spawns far off and enemies spawn right by it and manage to damage it before players can really get to it. And then like you said, on Darkstar you’ve got two Generators close by and enemies just flooding small area they are in. Some options to make the Core or Generator invulnerable like in Reach from a few moments would be great.

Tbh, I think they should make a version of WZFF with all Kill X Amount of Covenant/Prometheans with no Defense or Bosses, except for Round 5. That’ll be more similar to the old Firefight, with those boss waves spawning Brute Chieftains and Hunters. Just as an alternate temporary mode like Warzone and Warzone Turbo. I don’t know how much control over 343 has regarding spawns, round control, etc, but I’d love to see things like Gruntpocalypse.

As for lives and time, I can’t imagine a fix for those that would satisfy both the people that like it as is and the people who want it changed.

specify what gametype are you talking about or what are you even talking about

Some final boss waves are near unbeatable just simply due to time and the waves of underlings you have to fight through to get to the boss area. I don’t want it easy don’t get me wrong, I love a challenging game. I just want it obtainable and fun or else why am I playing

They have literally ALL the control.

does it happen that often? almost all the time i play its kill x or kill x amount. i rarely get protect x. maybe every game or so.

It seems most games have became single objective types like all deffend or all kill

Palmer: “Protect the forerunner core!”
*Groups of soldiers with splinter turrets and knights spawn right next to it.
Yeah sure, I’ll get right on that.

Core at 75% I’m not even there yet

The worst objective is having to kill 4 banshee raiders that are flying hundreds of feet in the air surrounded by other banshees with no more than level 3 Reqs.

Gruntpocalypse is in the the game mode. I had it randomly pop up as the first round and it was nothing but grunts being rained down on us. It was fun but fast and I want more like it!

Yeah I hate it when I have to fight through fields of hard -Yoink- enemies who are already wailing on the objective. And if you clear out some, then die? By the time you respawn and run back, the enemy has reinforced themselves as well so it starts again -_-

Kill X Grunts does not equate to Gruntpocalypse. I’m talking every round being pure Grunty goodness, no Elites, no Jackals, no Prometheans, no cores to defend, no armories to protect, just you and a ton of Grunts. We haven’t seen anything like that since Halo Reach and before that only during ODST’s Bonus Round.

I feel your rage
youre not alone

Someday, when you are stuck protecting a forerunner core on a halo ring or something you will thank for all the practice.

Survival rounds. 343 plz

Really? 90% of the objectives I see are focused on boss kills/enemy kill counts. Perhaps we’re both facing unfortunate redundancy? I wonder why that is.

And for the record I know I’m usually sarcastic and it would be easy to interpret what I just said as continuing that behavior, but I think it’s genuinely interesting that we’re both seeing very different trends in our firefight experiences. Are there certain maps that you find these protect/defend objectives occurring most often?
