Pros and Cons of Every Warzone Playlist

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

These are my feelings towards the warzone playlists. Take note, 343i.
Feel free to add or contest any of these.
Warzone

Pros:

  • Long games
  • More chances to use higher level REQ’s
  • Non-linear in terms of objectives
  • Large maps which deliver diverse gameplay opportunities
    Cons
  • Tryhard companies
  • Anti-noob
  • Potential for farming
    These three cons just totally ruin the game for me, and is one of the major reasons why I quit Halo 5.

Warzone Firefight

Pros:

  • Only A.I enemies
  • You can choose your spartan colour
    Cons:
  • A.I kill you extremely quickly
  • Bosses are bullet spongy
  • Spawn locations are messed up
  • Half of the REQ weapons are totally useless against prometheans (I’m looking at you, sniper)
    Basically, you need a team that’s armed to the teeth with REQ’s in order to enjoy this mode.
    Also note that I’m not putting the spawn timer as a con, since I don’t mind the punishment system for dying, only problem is that most of your deaths are totally cheap.

Warzone Assault

Pros:
* Invasion-like gameplay

  • Good REQ point - time ratio
  • Usually quick games
  • No dull moment
  • Little to no farming, considering the game timer always refreshes to only 6 minutes after an objective is completed
    Cons:
  • Spawns can be exploited, people spawnkill to farm. (Never happened to me, fortunately)
  • Rare chance of using higher level REQ’s (which could be considered a pro)
    One of my favourite playlists, it’s a shame it’s so unpopular and underappreciated.

Regarding Warzone Firefight. I think more than half the req weapons are useless. It seems like they almost all are, especially in later rounds.

But don’t you think there’s more than just one pro? I would add that it’s nice to be able to see your Spartan in the colors you chose, rather than team colors.

I love Warzone
I love Warzone Assault
I hate Warzone firefight with a passion

Aslo you forgot to mention that Warzone bosses are boring to fight against.

honestly if assaults req leveling worked the same as regular warzones id prefer it. but since i almost never get to use banshee in it i have to play regular warzone

I feel like the only reason Warzone Assault is less populated is the map quality. Yeah Temple and Prospect are good maps, but the first 4 were just copied from warzone that don’t really play well( looking at Urban and Summit Defense). I feel like the population would increase if 343 redid the 1st 4 maps in the style of the new one

Warzones biggest con is inconsistent req levelling it doesn’t take a company to farm.

A lot of games start off even but often when both teams have around 200 points each, one team will have a massive req advantage having level 6-8 while the other team has level 2-3. You know if you’ve lost with in the 1st 5 minutes.

The only thing I would add to this is that farming in Warzone Assault HAPPENS. I haven’t quit a game in months but I did tonight. Farmed by a well known high level team to the point of ridiculousness.

I have a pretty high tolerance but spawning in the exact same location 20 plus times and dying a half second later gets old. You can find the spartan company under my game history. It’s the only DNF there.
