Needed Warzone Changes

A few things that ive noticed for a long time that need to be changed:

  1. Wasp - Move it to req 4. A good percentage of the time, a game can be decided based on which team calls in the wasp at 3. I usually play with 2 or 3 people and if we call them in early, the other team is screwed. Same vice-versa. If we dont call in wasps but the enemy calls in 2 or 3, its game over. At req 3 it is too hard to kill. Most of the randoms wont even shoot at a wasp. Using the kinetic ammo AR doesnt work well enough if the wasp user is smart. Atleast at req 4 you get more options to take it out. The hannibal at req 5 is perfect because although that thing is a beast, you have the arclight, anti-air wraith, laser, rocket, rocket hog, etc that can easily counter it.

  2. Completely remove friendly fire. I HATE getting spattered by my idiot team mates ghosts or scout warthogs. That or a random purposely splatters you because you have a nornfang or other power weapon. You have no bullet damage friendly fire, why have this?

  3. Make warthogs have a door lock button. I can do some serious work in a gauss hog by myself just by parking it in an ideal position. I absolutely hate it when im doing just this and a random hops in and thinks they are doing you a favor by driving right to the enemy base and getting us both insta-killed. I would use some of my 30 gauss hogs if I could lock the door so an idiot random cant get in and drive it. Not sure how they would implement this but I would love to see it.

  4. Put the laser back to 5. The laser has been a mistake since it came out in halo 3. Lowering it to 4 makes them even more frequent. Then again, ive always absolutely hated the laser. Such a dumb addition to halo.

Overall I love warzone and most of it is great, these are just a few things that I hate. The wasp is super annoying, the other 3 arent that big of a deal but are still things that I wanted to include.

  1. I like pulling out wasps at req 3 but i agree with you and mabey buff the sheild slightly.
  2. No just no its gonna make to many glitches.
  3. Yes god yes.
  4. I dont care.

My Opinion with this

  • No - No - Maybe - No

H-h-hate the spartan laser? falls over dead

In seriousness:

I agree the Wasps needs a change. ONI to 5 as well.

Completely removing friendly fire however, would allow people to glitch the livin’ hell out of the maps and vice versa. It’s good practice for you to check surroundings anyways.

Regarding the Warthog door lock- I suppose it could work but i am not bothered eithe way.

And i have to agree, that the spartan laser belongs at 5. I love the thing but it’s pretty much THE END of vehicles and having an entire army flail around with the thing, like savage cave men with fire, is gonna be pure chaos.

The spartan laser is by far the worst weapon ever created in halo. Ruins vehicle gameplay as a whole even in other halo games.

Making the laser req 5, end game 6 and Saleen Lance req 7 would be way better.

To the point about removing friendly fire being “game breaking” males zero sense. There are death barriers and soft kill timers around every map. There is no way this would be game breaking.

If anything the only thing that would happen is you would fly across the map. Nothing else would be bad? There already is no friendly fire but you can splatter ppl. What is the point of it? Think about it.

Ad for all of his points I agree 100% and the lock vehicle idea would be sweet.

I’ll go on and answer to the vehicle friendly fire. Yes, it’s a needed thing. Why?

Imagine you’re playing Escape from ARG. A guy manages to spawn with a spartan laser then… He and his mate, has found a way to use the vehicle to send him cross-mappin’ to your doorstep. You’re in a scorpion tank driving out, he’s just standing right behind you and you wouldn’t even know. SPLASH and you’re out for the count.
I suggest you think about it as well. Besides, the death barriers only stretch SO FAR before stopping. I have had an overshield myself, save my rear but for some reason i stood outside the map suddenly. I had 2sec before i’d die, hadn’t it been for a strange physics glitch.

Yes, splattering is there and it will stay. Been like that forever.

I never thought about the vehicles splatter effect doing all of that. Easy fix, make it to where friendly vehicles cant push you more than a foot or two.

Also, i just read that the 2/3/17 update is fixing the wasp to 4/5/6 instead of 3/4/5. This alone is great news.

  1. Already happening, all wasps are being bumped by 1 soon
  2. I mean I don’t know anyone who’s been splattered for a weapon before, that’s news to me.
  3. The whole point of a warthog is to be driven, but I do see where you’re coming from
  4. Nah, Splaser is a wonderful addition to Halo. Ever since halo 3 its been the infantries reason to go on foot during vehicular combat. Enemy tank? Splaser it. Banshee spawn killing your buddies? Splaser it. Mongoose? Splaser it. Plus you only get four shots with the standard splaser and if you miss, you miss.

I’ve always wanted something that lets you control the Warthog so no one could drive away with it, but I doubt it would ever happen.
