Firefight Thoughts: Boss Names!

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Firstly, I have to give credit to JohannDB, who came up with this idea originally, and his original thread can be found here.
I thought that I would try to create a new one, based on the fact that it was a really creative and fun thread, and gave people a lot of freedom to put out ideas.

Put down a few ideas; what could potentially be newer/cooler ideas for bosses in Warzone/WZFF? Be sure to specify the species. I’ll put out one of my posts as fodder.

Elites:
-Sunaion Homeguard (5 boss Elites)
-Remnants of Regret (Squad of SpecOps Elites/black armor, Vorpal Talons)
-Fallen Arbiter Ripa 'Voramee (dual-wielding Vorpal Talon/Ravening Sliver)
-Storm Zealot Assassin (female) ‘Aion’s Temptress’

Jackals:-Rangemaster Skrekt, + 4-6 Major Marksmen (snipers, entrenched)

Banshees:
-Flight Leader Vorun + squad of Banshee Ultras

Knights:
-Brethren Star-Sworn (Void Knight Lord Noctus / White Knight Lord Helios) (Legendary)
-Knight Marshal Indomitus
-Warlord Invictus
-Grey Wizard Knight You-Shall-Not-Pass (sorry, lol)

Watchers:
-Eye of the Builders (Mythic Watcher, spawns Knight Souls, swarm of Legendary Watchers)

Soldiers:
-Centurion Gladius (bigger armor, Knight blade) / Centurion Thraxis (bigger armor, cleansing beam turret)
-Renegade (stolen Scorpion w/ Gunner)
-Dragoon (Boss level, summons Watchers, has ground pound/area attack)

Wardens:
-Warden Supreme
-Warden Excalubur (Mythic Level; cringing at the thought of THAT battle at Urban)

Hunters:
-Blaster Master (Grunt Ultra riding on a Hunter Juggernaut, who dual-weilds heavy fuel rod guns; no shield, cannot deflect grenades) + Grunt Ultra Squad
-Hunter Ravager
-Hunter Patriarch Su’uth

UNSC: (I’ll probably get hate for this, but I’m just thinking outside the box)
Helljumper Battalion:

  • 3 Legendary Urban Scorpions (Major Silva, Lieutenant McKay, Lieutenant Oros from the Pillar of Autumn) with ODST gunners
    -Hunter-Killer WASP (black/yellow, cluster rockets, ONI chaingun)

Lastly, a special ‘Blue Team’ round in Firefight:

  • “Assault on Castle Base,” a Wargames sim-type round where each member of (H5) Blue Team would be protecting the ‘fortress’ and have HW2-style ‘commander AI powers’ limited by time intervals:
    -Chief: HAVOK nuke area bombardment
    -Fred: MAC blast orbital strike
    -Kelly: Speed Boost III, Hijack
    -Linda: HEDP Rounds, Spartan Laser

Yeah not gonna happen since that would require adding in new models and animations. That’s not gonna happen, sorry my friend.

Well, this is more about playing with the ideas than expecting them to come to fruition.

Yeah that’s a good point.

Every Halo game should have Elite Honor Guards lol

I want a Mythic Warden called Jim.

“Jim has appeared at the Temple Overwatch!”
“Jim is tearing through our Spartans!”
“Our teammates need support fighting Jim!”

I miss elite honor guards…

My idea for a boss, I saw it in an older thread when WZFF came out :wink:

Field master Yayap: Mythic grunt boss in a hannibal scorpion, has 3 times as many HP as a normal hannibal scorpian, and it’s shots charge slightly faster than normal, has a gunner on the front, headshot immune, along with 4 grunt ultras riding on the treads, all with Pools of Radiance’s, all also headshot immune. :wink:

Spawns with 2 elite generals, 4 jackel snipers, and several squads of grunts, all protecting Yayap!

I’d sign up to play that lol

The blue team idea seems cool!

10

They should add a boss that’s a hijacked wasp since they already have that with the warthog and mantis. Idk what the name would be

It’ll never happen, but to me it would definitely be an interesting (different) type of match up. Probably hard as crap, but hey, going up against Blue Team SHOULD rock your socks.

Yes, kind of a Boss-level enemy in small groups with lackeys…that could be fun.

Lord, I would not want to take this round on…but that’s the point! I also like the Yayap idea; gives a nod back to ‘The Flood’ novel. I think I had put an idea out for a Yayap of some kind back in the original Boss Names thread by JohannDB.

Yeah, kind of like another variant of the Soldier Renegade or whatever; at Legendary or Mythic level, this could be pretty devastating…

Elite honor guards, and that spear thing from Halo 2. That would be a cool weapon, like a cross between the energy sword and gravity hammer.

Ripa is and has been dead for years.
Rangemaster Skrekt < I see what you did there.
Major Silva, Lieutenant McKay and Lieutenant Oros has been dead since 2552, why make models for characters who never really existed in the games anyhow.
Oros… hmph, reminds me of AoT.

We should fight James Hetfield lol although we probably won’t beat him seeing as how he’s practically a God.
