Lets just say that the mysterious ONI req is indeed the Falcon, which we all hope it is. Then, obviously, it is a legendary card. That being said, considering that it’s only a single variant, that would make the Falcon just as difficult to obtain as the Phaeton. Phaeton, for most people, will never be unlocked or even sees in a game of warzone, unless use are lucky enough to get it from an untra-rare random vehicle card. The Falcon cannot dodge a Plasma Pistol’s EMP, Cannot dodge a homing rocket, or evade shots from Spartan Lazars and tanks. This will make the Falcon incredibly easy to take out. Now, putting these factors together, as rare as the Falcon will be, if the ONI req is the Falcon, it will be easily destroyed; also, the amount of damage it will do compared to how fast it will be taken out, does not even out. If the ONI req is indeed the highly requested and beloved Falcon, it needs to be a rare card at a minimum; or at least give us multiple variants of it. That way more fans can almost be guaranteed to get it unlike the H2 BR and CE pistol, more air vehicles would be prevalent thus making warzone more fun, and it would make up for how easily the Falcon would be taken out. The few who unlock it will not use it due to its rarity, the fact that they will get EMP’d and jacked, and destroyed by power/load-out weapons. Everything we wanted in the Reach update is mythic or legendary. Now, most reach lovers will never get what they want most in this game.
I was incredibly excited to see the return of the CE pistol. I was hoping that it would be a new loadout similar to the H2 BR. You should have seen my disappointment when I learned it was a single use mythic legendary. Destroyed my day. I unlocked it eventually; and have only used it once. Got around ten kills. NOT SATISFYING! Sense then, I have only unlocked one more, only showing off how rare these beloved throwbacks are. Now there is a chance they will do the same with the Falcon. At least make it a rare. The req system is ruining Halo.
Most people will never unlock the Phaeton? I must have a bad perspective of this game or something because I see Phaetons all the time and used like 20 of them this weekend playing turbo. I’m sorry, but a game like this that’s on a 3 year cycle gives players PLENTY of time to unlock everything.
Now regarding your comments on how easy it is to take down a Falcon? Yes, it’s going to be super easy, but seeing as how easy it is to take down any other flying vehicle (especially the Phaeton) it will be no different. Plus, you’ll have a couple gunners that can “maybe” help you fend off the skyjack if you get EMPd. It’s the lasers that are going to take that thing down in a matter of seconds. lol
I’d be pretty happy if it was a Falcon.
Then again, I’m still not giving up hope on my idea of a mythic chain-gun REQ based on Jorge’s gun from Reach. Maybe it gives extra knock-back on bosses, and if you have a scout hog you can hop in the back a la Winter Contingency truck bed, and go crazy on bosses on Firefight. Imagine it: your buddy grabs an ONI scout hog, (now that it actually has a purpose lol) your other buddy grabs a SPNKr or a SAW, and you grab the mythic chain-gun. They load in the two front seats, and you take up the back. Time to ride, Spartans…
I can dream.

Well, I dont know what warzone games do you usually have, but I hardly ever see a Phaeton lol but anyway, yeah, if they are bringing the Falcon, it should have any advantage to compete with Phaeton and Banshees

Not sure about you, but for the other Phaetons your saw in Turbo, I’d attribute that to the random vehicle REQs. I only just got the Phaeton commendation yesterday, and I’m an SR 118 and have been playing since launch day. Normal single-use Phaeton cards are truly legendary rarity for most people.
You guys are getting what you asked for, but now you’re complaining about it.
Don’t be hypocrite! >:v

Maybe it’s because I play with a company of very high ranks and we usually go against other companies with very high ranks when we play? Maybe if I ran alone I wouldn’t see them as much, but Warzone alone is terrible.

There is always someone trying to put down everything that is posted in these forums. The Phaeton is very rare and unlikely to see. Remember, the game is supposed to put you in matches with people who have just as many reqs unlocked as you. So, if you’re closed to getting the Phaeton or have tons of reqs unlocked, you will see more of them. I have everything unlocked, and still only see a Phaeton one out of every twenty games or so. Most players, especially casuals/nubes, are not on this level. I confidently say around 85-90% of the community will never get a Phaeton, and about 50% will even see one in a game of warzone.
Also, the Phaeton is easily destroyed; but it has evade capabilities. The Falcon does not. The Phaeton is not too easily taken down. I unlocked the Phaeton kill commendation using only 5 Phaetons, getting 30-40 kills with each of them. That’s impressive. The Falcon will not be able to do that due to its slow nature. Considering that they are both on the same level of rarity, that should not be the case.
Also, one of my largest points was how so many players want the Falcon that making it legendary is such a slap to the face. It only teases players in a bad way. Yes, it’s in the game; but will you get it… probably not. Will you see it, very rarely. In order to make their community happy, 343 needs to make it rare at a minimum.

its on the btb map recurve (ce pistol)
For all we know the oni isn’t even a falcon and if it is who’s to say 343 didn’t change it like give it the ability to dodge homing, wait for it to come out before you complain.

If you’re getting 30-40 kills every time you take out a Phaeton you’re either playing total idiots or people that have zero reqs. lol
I’ve had a few runs like that with them, but generally people will gang up on you after a while and put you down in a hurry. If they know what they’re doing anyway.

BTB is a joke. I refuse to play it. That is a different topic though. When I rant about what 343 did to that, you can probably here me from where you are.

I’m just very good at this game. I have screenshots to prove it, or I did at some point. Look them up on my account. The Phaeton is incredibly powerful.

I’m now dreaming with you! That would be so cool to do in Warzone.
I looked at them. That’s good stuff man! Must have been some top notch evasive action!
At least it would be available in BTB and Customs ;-;
Well say the card is the falcon you have to take this Into consideration. The damage output and resistance will be modified for halo 5 it won’t be the same as back in reach. Also besides I think most people want it for custom games rather than warzone

Too bad most people can’t play customs because no one has Xbox or even like Halo any more. Also, BTB is trash so…
