I love both of these playlists but would like a month between turbo. need time to build back recs after playing a weekend of turbo…
I would say give us assault for 3 weekends per month and only turbo once.
or have turbo payout a lot more rp then it does now.
but i do like that we will get both more often.
My guess is they’ll make both featured playlists whenever they’re available so you should get extra XP and RP.
I believe they will but for the amount of rec you use in turbo they need to bump up the rp even more. just my thoughts.
I’ve missed playing WZA so I’m happy that there is a rotation. I understand your point about burning through REQs though - just have to use that Random Weapon one and see what you get!
I have burned through most of them playing turbo recently and helping people grind out their 152. in wzff and I love to play mythic every weekend. and now that there is more than one map each weekend I try to play through all the maps. still, have over 100 of all mythic weapons. 50 of all oni warthog options. but all out of random vech/weapons.
at least with WZA I only use speed boots level one rally/oni hogs for splatters and light or urs or advic to destroy the core. so if I stick with that game mode alone i should be able to earn what I used between turbo/mythic.
only time will tell if I can earn the recs I burn through. will take a few months to see if my reserves start to drop.
You could just…skip the second weekend of Turbo and not play it.
You aren’t forced to play the playlists that are offered.

correct I do not have to play it. I will grind those playlists as they are my all time favorite in wz. just going to need to earn more rp and get more packs.
Didn’t the last community update state that wza and wzt will be once a month? Or are you meaning that you would prefer it every other month? I personally have a blast going through wz turbo and just using my load outs to steal reqs from the enemy team. There is nothing quite as satisfying as assassinating that enemy with a nornfang and then getting a frenzy with it

343 has not finalized the rotation yet. but they did say it would be every other weekend and on rotation.
I am fine with wz turbo one per month or every 4 weeks. but put WZA up every weekend and only rotate out WZA for turbo every 4 weeks when its time for another turbo. to h
but I really don’t care I will get a weekend of assault and a weekend of turbo every month. I will be happy getting my fix of each once per month. but will always take more if they offer.

Yes.
> We’ve slowly worked towards establishing a schedule for Warzone Turbo and Warzone Assault, which some of you have picked up on. We wanted to monitor the health of both playlists when in this rotation before locking it in as the official plan. Since they both continued to perform well, we’ll be trying to run Warzone Assault during the middle weekend of each month and Warzone Turbo on the last weekend of each month. That means Warzone players should keep an eye out for one or the other rotating in every other weekend!
I like the idea of having them on a schedule. Reminds me of Double XP weekends.
I’d rather they just keep warzone assault in the game permanently. Regular warzone is basically about wasting time until the last boss shows up, then getting the lucky last shot on it, and winning the game for it.
It’s like the golden snitch in Quiddicth. Grab it and you win.

true that. have lost many games on that last boss. I like WZA it is more like a bigger version of Big Team Battle. … they could do a WZA TURBO That would be like bigger supper Fiesta Big Team. But i think their real problem with making it a permanent playlist is the number of players. It became really hard to get a game of wza after midnight- 7 am ( i am in us central time. that is Zula - 6 ) the need to increase player base to be able to keep wza on at all times.
as this game is over 3 years old they are not going to add a bunch of new players with sales. we did get a spike when halo 5 was added to game pass. If 343 gave halo 5 for free as a gold game. it would do a lot to bring new blood back to Halo 5 and keep halo in peoples minds as we wait for infinite ( end of October 2020 is my prediction)
I remember wza when they did halo 5 as free to play for a weekend. so many newbies to kill. our spartan company framed so many of them for the helmet.

I’m glad you like the playlist, too!
I feel that the often-cited argument involving low population is ill-founded. For one, there’s no way for the community to view playlist population, and also, population shouldn’t be the only factor considered when determining whether to make a playlist available.
Even if WZA is lowly populated from day to day, there’s no reason they should just remove it from the game entirely. Obviously, the solution to a declining population is not found in reducing it to zero!

I agree. one thing that did hurt all wz playlist is when they had to ban 12 man teams because of some of the things some teams would do. Something needed to be done to stop some of the farming that went on in wza. both the killing on spawn and removal of 12 man teams both hurt wza and it never fully recovered.
but as you say lack of players 24 hours a day should not be a reason to remove a playlist. if that was the case. we would only have swat, big team, super fiesta, and big team supper fiesta. even a featured playlist depending on which list it is will have trouble finding a match in the overnight us hours. ( i am only speaking from my experience 15746 games 76 days of arena 5991 games 50 days in wz.) many many long nights. this, of course, is anecdotal, not any kind of fact.

I have the same experience when I try to play any game mode that is even remotely interesting to me. If I have to wait 10 minutes to play a game mode that I’m only slightly interested in, like Shotty Snipers, I’m certainly not going to stick around. And yet, when Core Play was available, I literally never had to wait more than one minute to find a game for it. And now, for “server population reasons”, that game mode is no longer available. Something is terribly wrong with the decision-making process for playlist availability.
been playing some wza was having fun. than played to gamed against Filthyy CasuaLL. He was running a full 12 man. I just ran to the core and drew pictures on the wall of the core. his team cored us in 2:14 and 2:27 so after that I took a break. I was running solo and half our team quit when they saw who we were up against. My ? anyone played a game of assault win or lose that was under 2:14 that is the quickest I have ever been in
