The objective in warzone is to get more points than the other team (like most game types in halo)
Assault- more plants,
CTF- more captures,
Slayer- more kills,
Warzone- more spartan kills, Destroying The Core,AI Kills, more basses captured (I know you can win a game with less basses and more AI Kills i’ve done it before, but i digress)
Warzone Assault- more time spent in the base without any intrudersBefore you start to type furiously about why my opinion is wrong just let me say what I have to say. (BUT xTPGx HAS ACHILLES)– So -Yoinking!- what? Let me explain my view on thisThe aforementioned 4 objectives in warzone is what that game is all about right? Spartan Kills, Destroying The Core, AI Kills, and Base Captures… I am correct yes? At the beginning of every warzone match, the title card says the following ///WARZONE/// Complete objectives to earn points— Destroy Core for an Instant Victory
So by definition of warzone, completing the objectives I mentioned before awards your team points… The game is pretty straight forward on how you obtain those points. So what is happening, is that people are literally getting upset for the other team being coordinated and completing the objectives, I.E. Spartan Kills ^^^ it literally says it on the title card!Now don’t get me wrong, being farmed is not a fun experience, i’ve been there… But so is losing any game of halo, so what I don’t understand is why losing a game of warzone is any different. I want to play with my company, sorry we are better than a team of randoms?(But It’s unsportsmanlike!)
–You are correct, but so is tbagging (imo), it’s also a video game, There will be balancing issues and such stuff like this will happen, Halo is not the first victim to this(You are supposed to destroy the core!)
–No you don’t, is it the fastest way to victory? Yes! Again^^^ IT LITERALLY SAYS IT ON THE TITLE CARD, but do you have to destroy it? No. Look at slayer, i believe the title card says ///SLAYER/// Control power weapons and kill the enemy team… You don’t HAVE to control rockets and snipers, it is merely a suggestion
(Why should I listen to you farmer joe?)
–You don’t. Have I farmed kills before? ok well sure but what company has never farmed kills?If you have any suggestions to make this game type FLAWLESS then please, let me hear them
In Capture the Flag, the objectives are to end the game with more flag captures, or get the max.
Blue Team gets 2 (out of 3) Flag Captures, Red Team gets however many (less than 3), Blue Team gets the flag again, and instead of capturing that flag, they keep it and the other members proceed to set up a farm for the rest of the match.
Well there’s nothing preventing the players from farming here, it’s the design flaw! It’s just a slower way to victory! They are completely capable of putting down that last flag, but why would they? There’s no need for efficiency, just farm for the last 10 minutes.
Yet people are still very much against this. Why? It’s still unsportsmanlike conduct. You’re ruining the experience of the other players for personal gain.
Replace Capture the Flag with Grifball. Same thing.
Why stop there? You can go the Urban route and literally spawn kill them with grenades. Or you can go the Array route and prevent them from spawning altogether. It’s all part of the game and it’s just another way of winning.
Most people have nothing against losing a game of Halo. It’s when a team has every capability of winning to the point where the other team is letting them win, and the team is like, “nah, let’s kill them to get our stats up.” It’s unsportsman-like through and through. It ruins the experience of the losing team more than losing games can ever do.

Do you actually believe that? You think that every Spartan Company is populated with condescending jerks? My company has never farmed kills, and never will. Having some respect for your opponents isn’t quite as rare as you seem to believe.

Well obviously I don’t think EVERY single company has farmed them, I should’ve been more specific in that some of the top companies who are really taking a crack for the armor set have done it i’m sure… Sorry If I offended
Reaching the objective point total while ignoring the core isn’t the issue by itself. It becomes an issue when a company exploits the spawns so they can kill you right as you spawn. Such a practice doesn’t have a place in non-competitive, social game modes, which includes Warzone. Unfortunately people are -Yoinks!- and the game design probably should have accounted for their -Yoink- just a touch more.
Poor sportsmanship is definitely the answer along with poor game design. I understand what your saying OP, but if anything comes to a cost of others than its just not worth it. Wasting people’s time is shallow and unwarranted.
I’ve been farmed on multiple times, it doesn’t bother me too much but it’s just not fun. Waiting around because I don’t want to quit out and lose my legendary boost is something that happens too often. Warzone doesn’t affect stats or anything but affects the players retention towards the game. When companies do this, they’re pushing away others for a chance to wear a form of digital swag to show off to their friends or others.
My gripe is with how it affects the population, that’s my two cents on the problem.

Yeah I always try to win games as fast as possible and I don’t like farming.
343i could so easy end farming by giving a early core destruction more reqs and/or a commendation for winning warzone matches inder 10mins but no they just do nothing.
