I read all these complaints about farming in Warzone. Most complaints are based around spawn trapping etc… Well that’s been the strat in Arena for years. You want to control the spawns in arena and spawn trap your opponents. Even in pro league they run these strats and teams have gotten destroyed. There’s a term for it, in essence a “steak”. There’s been plenty of unbalanced games in Arena and opponents getting “farmed”. In Warzone it seems different rules apply, than other game modes of Halo. A lot of special snow flakes get mad because of the 1 in 20 games they played that day they lost badly. I have been farmed in WZ before as well as Arena, but I understand the strat they’re using and can’t get mad at it. Simply got outplayed, no other excuse for it. Just have to get better.

I agree with you mainly but unlike in arena where if your getting destroyed the game will end fairly quickly, but in warzone a match where your being farmed could last 20 minutes or more, another reason farming is worse in warzone than arena is that in arena slayer spawn trapping allows you to get closer to winning faster, but in warzone the team farming could end the game by destroying the core but instead spawn kill meaning they aren’t even trying to win.
There needs to be more random spawn selection points, too often people are forcing spawns. Pro player this pro player that, I play about 1-2 hours a day if I’m lucky, so unfortunately, I can’t use pro strats, I have to use “I played Halo a lot before, none of these people did” strategy when I’m getting my -Yoink- handed to me.
It’s not farming on arena, it’s just a stomping. There’s a limit to the numbers of kills achievable in arena but not really one in warzone. I would say farming is spawn trapping and extending the game beyond a reasonable limit while intentionally not finishing the fight. This simply isn’t possible in arena

I disagree, its pretty rare and has only happened to me once but in a game of CTF on coliseum a clan of 4 basically took our flag then held it for the entire duration of the game without scoring so they could rack up kills. Towards the end 2 member of my team had left and i just found a hiding place to wait it out.
Farming. Food. Mmmm I’m ready for lunch.

I agree, it’s only farming in arena if it’s an objective game (CTF for example) and they decide to not purposely cap last flag but rather hold onto it and get kills instead. Spawn killing isn’t farming to me, it’s just the player getting their -Yoink- kicked.

Fair enough, I was thinking more of slayer and strongholds but that is definitely possible in CTF. Thanks for the correction.
You can farm in Arena
Especially when you play on Overgrowth, you just need to make sure you plant your crops in a secure location where it won’t get trampled over. The colder maps like Stasis or ones with infertile land in general though you might need pots for or certain plants like evergreens.
Hope this helps, OP.
Hmm, Objective game types were used for farming in older games, but why bother when you could stat pad in Warzone? So one could farm in say CTF, but what is the point now, 343 constructed the perfect playground for farmers/stat padders.
tbh where did the term farming even come from? why aren’t we calling it spawn killing or spawn trapping?

Grifball is about as close as you can get to farming in Arena. BTB is a close second.

This could be considered farming, but this actually a good defensive tactic. Yea, you could try to end the match by capping all three flags… or you can take one and then just prevent the enemy from taking yours. Both take effort to pull off, one is just simpler.

Yeah its only really possible on CTF or assault. Although it could happen on strongholds if a team let the other team hold 2 until the last moment then held 2 themselves to drag things out. Only hypothetical though.

Maybe but it seems unlikely. They could have won the game at any time as there were only 2 of us for the last 5 mins and only 3 for quite a while before that. In a close game i would agree with you but its not like they were holding back at their base they were actively hunting players.
I see it more in arena than warzone.
But in warzone I can play against farming ok most of the time cause I’m not being killed as I spawn most of the time and can at least give as much as I recieve but some times I can’t be bothered by it and it’s makes for a dull match.
Arena is worse cause I can’t fight against it and give as much as I recieve because I never get the chance. They have better weapons and the spawn trapping is worse. CTF is the worst for spawn trapping.
I dont get why I haven’t seen it in WZ assault cause it’s maybe the best place to do it and the matches can be quick and easy.
