After taking a long break from Halo 5, I have to say that Heroic Warzone Firefight is the most fun I’ve had in Halo since Big Team Battle in Halo 3. I love PVE game modes, and large game modes as well. This brings back the fun of Halo. The maps are varied and unique and being able to use the different kinds of vehicles gives you limitless options.
I’m glad I decided to give Halo 5 another shot, great job on the new Warzone, because for me the original was too hard and frustrating. This mode hit the sweet spot. A nice couple of waves of fighting hordes of enemies, and the bosses feel less bullet spongey. I hope you add even more maps, because I’m hooked.
Something else I noticed (maybe it’s me) was the Req Packs seem to dropping faster and that has made it more fun. The new weapon attachments and weapon skins make Halo 5 feel brand new while retaining the Halo feel. Great job 343, and please roll out more Warzone maps, I’m addicted. Old School Halo Fun!

Thanks, I heard mythic wrecks. I would be standing out there like one of the soldiers beside a Spartan. Look a Spartan on the battlefield before being one shot off the map lol!

I also prefer the Heroic mode game play. I find it less stressful than the other modes and I do very well. I play the Mythic matches for the points and I’m amazed that I’ve won some and even been the top player in at least 2 maps. Every once in a while I play Legendary cause it keeps me on my toes.
I’m so with you there. If it wasn’t for this I would’ve sold my Xbox. Just a shame it requires xbl because my internet cuts out now and then, I’d love to be able to play it solo!

Yes, more options would be amazing. I would love to one day see a forge Warzone where the community could push out content. Thanks for the nice responses everyone!

I am the same way with internet performance. But mine is just so bad I can have fun playing it as much as I’d like because I always lag out before the game ends. So it’s almost like not even trying
I agree, 343 brought back my two friends that still play Halo, and thus, myself, with Heroic WZ FF! It (343) deserves a lot of credit for bringing back more casual players.
Also, I really wish there was one other PVE option. Something like Spartan Ops missions that earn a little REQ and can be played in MM (almost destiny strike like) while not having it be a complete vehicle fest.
I’m very happy, just always thinking future I guess. Call me greedy (: Can’t wait to see what Halo 6 brings in a couple years from now, or if Halo 5 will add more PVE.
I have a vision of themed strikes for Halo. Forerunner will have you with forerunner weapons mostly, covenant with covenant weapons, etc. There can be other weapons but the buildings, area, weapons and enemies will be primarily the faction that hosts the planet you’re on.
UNSC, forerunner, covenant, the banished and maybe some flood mixed in. All in the ‘simulator’ so lore wouldn’t matter at all. Have a few maps per theme, end goal to down boss or get intel, etc.

Those would be great ideas. I would love to see a flood warzone, done in the style of the temple where you first find the flood and as you go deeper in the temple the flood becomes more dangerous.

> Warzone Firefight is my favorite H5 game mode.
Yes, mine as well. It combines all the elements of weapons, vehicles, massive enviroments. It also right balance of enemies and bosses. It is a PVE mode, but retains that classic Big Team Battle feel.

It’s the only mode that feels like big team battle. H5 could have done better with its actual BTB mode.
I would like to see the same format with the small maps as well. To be honest this mode is so much better then endless waves. I like having a nice rotation of maps. Maybe on the small maps they could have four to six. Even the Big Team Battle maps would be small maps compared to Warzone, however The big Warzone maps are my favorite for sure.
Love this thread. Nice to know that I am not the only one who loves Warzone FireFight. When I have the time to sit down and play Halo, I want it to be fun - not a frustrating experience. Even someone as bad as I am can have a great time and feel like they can make a difference in WZFF.
Perhaps as my skills increase, I might go and take another look at Arena. Right now, though, WZFF keeps me coming back for more.
I would love to see PVE expanded. It seems to be pretty popular, and is a great experience. Maybe some indoor maps (ships, bases, whatever) would be fun, for more CQB without vehicles, like was already mentioned above.
