Remember when a JIP didn’t always mean joining the losing team?
Remember when half your team wouldn’t quit if they got triple-capped?
Remember when people wouldn’t spam Banshees the moment they were available?
Remember when you could step outside your base and not get sniped immediately?
Remember when the enemy team didn’t always have one member camping with a Splaser, waiting to spawn-kill vehicles?
Remember when you didn’t have idiot teammates?
Remember when the enemy team wasn’t constantly trying to triple cap and quick core or farm?
Remember when teammates were good at defense?
Remember not being pinned down by a low REQ level?
Can I please get a decent warzone game that is for once, not a one-sided fist fight? 343i did a 12-man Warzone playlist, right? Why not a 1-man Warzone playlist for the players who solo-queue? I miss the days where you didn’t have to spawn a Banshee Ultra just to get a couple of kills at best. I can avoid Warzone for a month, and when I come back, it’s worse. It never fails.
I remember all this stuff still happening at launch. Never the farming though because teams were not organized yet then for it cough Achilles cough
This “list” that you have put together explains every game ever. It has always been happening. Sorry but stop complaining about these things.
I also remember there being no content at ALL. Not even Forge!
I remember not having any of the connection problems people were having till they tried fixing them then I started having connection problems and with every fix things just got worse.

Mythic is so boring. Noobs don’t want to spend REQs, no skull diversity, always a losing battle, and less average XP per hour than featured Heroic. I hate the weekends on Halo because I can’t XP farm.
Yeah, I remember. A lot of things are great until people start to exploit them and ruin the entire experience as a result. I used to love Warzone; it was all I played.
I dunno about the rest of you guys, but my experience (save for the period around the middle of the game’s life when JIP was rampant for everyone) has been fine. I rarely go into games with other people (sorry, guys in my SC. School and all that), and I feel like my overall experience has its share of ups and downs, wins and losses, farmers and farming. And pretty much all of what OP said for the “Remember when” section has either never happened or happened just enough times for me not to warrant any concern for it. Except the one about pinned at REQ levels. That’s always been there.
It’s the reqs. Everything you mentioned is because warzone is a req race. It wasn’t when the game launched because w esisnt have 100 of everything. Req spam killed warzone, not teams.

Sadly, you’re right. Is it just the REQ system then? Groups made the OP REQs even more annoying. Especially that the standard Banshee is REQ 5 now. Anyone who is good with that thing can last the whole match with one.

Hm, you could be correct about that. I wonder what would happen if we had a Warzone playlist without REQs.

I miss BTB actually being its own unique playlist too. I seriously don’t understand why 343 talked about how important it was only to not include it at launch and then literally do nothing for it. All the maps in Halo 5 are boring as a result because they are all symmetrical arena maps more or less.
I don’t remember any of those things; I remember always being stomped from the moment I stepped out of the base(sometimes even before that), having next to no req energy, and when I DID have req energy I’d almost immediately lose whatever I had spawned. There were no ‘Glory Days’ of warzone for me; it was doomed from the get-go. Since WZFF came out I’ve left vanilla WZ forever and I’ve never looked back.
I feel for you not having a positive game experience. A separate solo queue warzone would be a good idea for guys like you.
I, however, miss twelve man warzone and working together with a full team.
