Now, before I say anything I want everyone to know that I actually like Warzone FF in fact its 100x better than it was in the beta, I’m just here to provide some opinions on things I really dont like that might make the Warzone FF experience better if fixed.Also I’d like to commend 343 firstly for actually making Warzone FF fun, to be honest I did not have high hopes for it after the Beta, however there are still some lingering frustrating issues with the current version of Warzone FF.My biggest complaint is the A.I. in the game.
The A.I in this game is so brain dead and so mundane that they really provide no challenge, and thats the only reason you constantly get swarmed with an armada of A.I compared to previous Halo’s… The A.I are very frustrating to deal with at times as they provide no critical thinking besides shoot and cover, they aren’t unique is what I’m trying to say. And to counteract the horrible A.I 343 decided to buff the hell out of the A.I via upgraded shields, upgraded armor, upgraded damage, and in many cases homing bullets, basically they’re a bullet sponge and is some cases mini bosses. (Looking at you knights)
The biggest issue I have with the A.I is the fact that EVERYBODY HAS A MACHINE GUN! I mean seriously, how UNIMAGINATIVE IS THAT! Hunters, elites, rapid fire grunts and jackals, crawlers, soliders, and even knights all have some sort of machine gun-esque weapon its RIDICULOUS! Halo 5 has the biggest weapon sandbox in the history of the franchise yet everyone seems to have their own version of the Halo CE assault rifle.
Since I really don’t feel like writing a lot, all in all the A.I is a issue with warzone and any A.I related mode (i.e campaign) and needs to be upgraded by the time the next halo rolls out, becuase lets be honest here the A.I arent just gonna get a massive overhaul almost a year after release. (At least not from 343). However a variety in weapons CAN be added in a future patch or update and I think it is greatly needed to add variety and more immersion to the gametype.
Let me know what you guys think. Do you find similar issues with Warzone FF? What other issues regarding the A.I do you hate, or do you think the A.I is fine as is? I’d love to hear others opinions on the topic.
