Still lost and all, enemy got Warden kill. But -Yoink!- that was probably the most fun I’ve had in a game of standard Warzone in months! The new fireteam cap may just be the solution we needed to crack down on the quick cores and farming. Warzone is fun again. Damn.
(But I do hope we get some sort of solo queue in so we can remove this cap and not have to punish 12-man fireteams who don’t farm or quick core)
That’s great to hear. 
That’s fantastic! I can’t wait to get home and play some Warzone!
“Warzone is fun again,” lol, just after 1 game… A bit unnecessary (the post), although I think it was smart of 343 to have 12-man fireteams in WZA and 6 in regular WZ.

only played 3 so far just to get a small sample.
i am pleased!
1 people actually go for bosses again! which means people are moving!
2 i actually got cored at the 12 minute mark! i was sooooooooooooooo suprised that the team actually ended the game because i thought for sure it was going to be yet another A.R.C farm feast that i jumped for joy. in LOSING no less lolol
3 i was “farmed” once. but that is just because their team was better then mine, which tends to happen. but it wasn’t determined that they were better then use untll the score was 700-500 which in my mind. seems like a pretty decent game with one team just happening to pull away.
still hate the map design, but that is a whole different issue.
it does feel much more enjoyable in the 2 hours i played.
Yeah, I hope they can do a solo queue option so that us solo players can have a good time and then the 12v12 teams will get their playtime. But until then it looks like I might get to enjoy a bit of WZ for the first time in months.

to be honest, WZA should be solo. the whole point of that game mode is too farm lol. the only thing saving it, is the 6 minute timer

Hey, I gave it a chance and it worked. Playing my second one right now and things are going great as well.
EDIT: Game ended with the enemy team destroying our core thirteen minutes in, leading to a comeback on their side as the game was 549-323 prior. We kept trading bases and the fight for the Temple was something fierce. Also I think the grenade launcher needs a splash damage nerf…
After 1 game I hated it. A year long tradition is over.
But that’s alright, the custom games browser is an absolute saving grace, I love it. That’ll replace warzone nicely.
finally I’ve been wanting to play warzone for months but it snowballs too quickly and just got annoying, I’m coming back to warzone baby!
Warzone has always been fun. I solo play a the time and this claim people get “farmed” all the time was way over blown.

Farmer has indeed become more rare. But quick cores are just as annoying for me.
Were your games against parties of 6 or all solo players?

I don’t know.
I have had the same experience, and they were close matches, which rarely happens. I will save my enthusiasm for down the road. Who knows how things will transpire.
Guess I’m not playing warzone until the test isn’t over and it goes back to 12 players.

Expect this will probably end up like WZA and become permenant. Or they get a solo queue in.
I wouldn’t mind two playlists like some are suggesting but we need to wait to see if any of the new Arena playlists will be removed because we currently have more than Halo Reach but not the population of Reach a year after release, far less.
Got to say I agree. My four games were possibly the most chaotic I’ve played in a while. I sucked badly in two of them. Worried it may descend into a REQ fest though. At one point on ARC there were 9 vehicles between the two sides fighting for the garage.
Great fun so far but we shall see.
That’s good to hear, maybe I could play some next weekend and have fun. Keeping it 6 in Warzone is sounding good so far.

343 has gotta go the “everyone gets a trophy” route
