Halo 5 Warzone is fun, but old, I think it’s time to add on to some ideas. I think there should be new announcers like Jeff, the arena guy for Warzone or maybe a spartan from Reach, Blue Team, Osiris, maybe even Roland or Lasky. Also we need more weapons, now maybe not varients of weapons, but maybe adding the golf club. LOLOLOL. That is in the game so why isn’t it in Warzone? Also maybe we could use weapons like the Needle Rifle, a regular Plasma Rifle, a concussion rifle, though I’m not sure if that became the plasma caster.
Well also we need new maps. If you want to see my ideas look up Do we need more Warzone maps?
Feel free to share your ideas ya’ll.
Warzone needs to be completely reworked in general if it’s going to return in halo 6.
Warzone would be better if:
1: It had pickup power weapons and power ups.
2: You had a limited number of reqs to call in per match (lets say 5). Why? To prevent teams from spamming things like wasps…
3: Bosses attacked bases.
4: Home Bases had auto turrets, and always open to attack. Meaning, a team could ignore bosses and bases and go straight for the Home base. Home bases would obviously be buffed to make this hard.
Thats a rough few ideas off the top of my head. I think map design is ok for the most part, its just that many parts of the current maps are not used due to the gamemode.
The marines need a update where they spawn with loudout default weapons like the BR or SMG inside the core base and in second base as well
My ideas for Warzone… #1 smarter and more aggressive enemy AI. They won’t just sit in one little area waiting they would actually seek out Spartans or armories/garages to capture. Then teams would have to actually fight them and wouldn’t have that ignore them option to curb stomp the other team. #2 more variety of enemy AI besides Covies and promeantheans. Add in flood, Brutes, and insurrectionist. Imagine hearing the announcer saying insurrectionist has captured some unsc gear and are rolling into the battlefield. They come in with some warthogs, tanks or wasp or combination of them. #3 Added objectives like capping a flag. Basically there would be a neutral flag guarded by Covies or whoever and a team would have to get it back to their base to score it. Also a strong hold to capture or a king of the hill type thing to score. #4 maybe get rid of the whole req level thing and make it more like dominion from H4 where when you capture bases you can fortify them and then get supply drops for holding the bases for additional weapons.
Eh, I probably shouldn’t bite, but here goes.
Warzone either needs to be canabalised for BTB or it needs to have a more structred design.
I think completely gutting the REQ system and making certain weapons or vehicles only spawn at certain bases or locations would be preferable and a lot easier to balance and design around.
If you couldn’t tell, I don’t like Warzone much at all in it’s current iteration; to me it feels messy and unpredictable, but I can see why people would like that, I just don’t.

This pretty much nailed my thoughts.
Warzone is a solid first attempt at a new game mode, but it needs some serious love if it is to be a success in Halo 6.

I was going to say something about BTB as well. However… If 343 does away from WZ in favor of BTB and Arena only, what if micro transactions plague BTB.
That would very well be the last straw for me. The current system is option, but greed will come into play one way or another. MT aren’t going away, and if they are just in WZ then I guess it could be the lesser of two evils.

It’s hard not to be sceptical and a little bit nervous about these things, but I think 343 are really starting to get the idea with what the community wants, it just took a lot of convincing.
they should add the Covenant Scarab as a boss

Honestly, It could work if it was like halo 4’s “Dominion” game mode. Just have places to spawn certain reqs, and cooldowns on that specific req instead of instead of req levels.
E.G. - if I wanted to spawn a banshee at the middle base, I would need to have that base captured. Alongside this, I would need to wait 60-90 seconds (or something like that) to be able to spawn a new one.
(and to discourage people from camping it, maybe have a certain kill requirement that’s required before you can use said req. This requirement would reset after you spawned in a req.)
Obviously the Dominion gamemode/format wasn’t perfect, but it would work a lot better than warzone at its current state.

If it’s along the lines of fighting the Halo 3 Scarabs, I’m all down for it. The issue would center how it would appear on the map; will it crawl its way through or will it simply drop from the sky?

I think it would be really cool if ‘when’ it would be the boss for the next round, you could see it slowly walking towards the playable area in the distance during the round before.

or drop down from the sky, that works

But don’t you think it’s kind of defeatist to say microtransactions aren’t going away? I mean, yes they probably aren’t going away, but if you had something to say about BTB, then you should say it because 343 needs to hear the community loud and clear. Currently, they’re getting a mixed message because the community is giving them tons of money from microtransactions, but simultaneously saying we hate them. This forum is a place to amplify the latter message, so you should say what’s on your mind. I understand being worried about microtransactions plaguing another game mode if 343 does away with Warzone, but we can still say that’s bad too. I think the community has made it clear that BTB needs more love from 343 than it got in Halo 5.
I kind of want Warzone to go away. BTB is more interesting, Invasion is more interesting.
Firefight is rad. I think Warzone with Reqs should become a big PvE mode. A big social blood gulch style 12v12 sandbox would be better served without REQs in my opinion - make it the big social mode in H6.

^^^
I think maybe a improvement would just be adding more game mode variation like CTF or Assault.
