Dose Warzone Assault seem Unfair?

Games Halo 5: Guardians

So one thing I keep hearing among friends is that Warzone Assault is unfair. Honestly I may agree. The main issues seems to be that if you are on the defending team you have a disadvantage, mainly in the req department. The only way you can increase your req points, and there for get better weapons, is to get kills. On the other hand the attackers get points for getting kills and taking bases. Now this may not seem like a issue but if the defending team loses their first base they now have to deal with a even more powerful enemy team now with better weapons and resources, but the defenders are still stuck with less req points.

For example I was in a game and we were defending. We ended up losing and by the time we did most of us only had 2 req points while the attacker had 3 to 4 times as much. Its hard to make a come back when the only way we get req points is out slaying a team with better weapons. Because of this it isn’t as fun to have to be on the defending team.

How could we “fix” this problem?
I think a simple solution would be to give the defending team a single req point when they lose a base. It would make sense that once we lose a base and have to fall back that we call in for “reinforcements”. Perhaps after a min of losing a base the defending team are given a req point in order to help them better defend their next base?

Now I realize a lot of people might think that you shouldn’t be “rewarded” for losing a base, but I see it more as a logical tactic so the attackers don’t snowball so easily after taking just one base.

Now this may not be that big of a deal but I still thought it might be a interesting thing to discus and bring up. So what do you think? Do you think that the defending team have a unfair disadvantage in Assault? Do you agree with my suggestion?

All of my company complains about playing warzone for numerous reasons, except me. Ive been playing the heck out of it due to the xp and req pts being high. Every other playlist has either good xp OR good req pts, but warzone has both. Especially Assault, which means more chances at gear, guns, emblems etc etc without having to pay real money. I started playing Assult for this reason alone and didnt like it at first, but like all things Ive come around to liking it after spending some time learning the ropes. I think what turns off a lot of people is not having or not knowing how to use their req cards and or just being new to the map, player routes, choke points etc etc. Sure it can suck to play defender sometimes or offense others, and when you’re grouped with new guys it’s even worse. But the way I look at it when Im on the loosing team: I just got mass xp and req points regardless, I win!
