- Why cant I get my classic CUSTOM emblems? This new system where you have to unlock emblems and use a color scheme provided by 343i annoys me, I want my Skull King, and i don’t want to get it in a random REQ pack. - Why is there not one game type with BR starts? There in no need for further comments on that question. - Why did 343i increase the base player speed, add all these mobility attributes and make the magnum’s rate of fire slower? I mean this only leads to people using the AR more. - Why is the AR so over-powered? This thing is on steroids or something, I’m getting cross-mapped by this thing on the regular. - Why is the Battle Rifle considerably the worst precision weapon in the game? The DMR has been better since Halo 4, the Covenant Carbine shoots way too fast, the Light Rifle is over-powered with its three shot kill, and the pistol does way more damage. - Why is the Plasma Caster in the game? Worst power weapon ever. - Why does the magnum scope look the way is does? I mean honestly that the one consistency in the franchise excluding Halo 2 and Halo 3. The SCOPE WAS PERFECT “was” being the key word here. - Why is Breakout in the Team Arena playlist. I’m getting frustrated here, this is basic game design: YOU DO NOT PUT HARDCORE GAME TYPES (no shields) IN REGULAR PLAYLISTS (with shields) . These are two completely different experiences, there’s nothing like playing a game, and about to rank up, all you need is one more win, and you’re put into a game that you were not warned about and never wished to play. Not to mention it’s a completely different game, and the farthest thing from a true Halo experience since 343i. - What is with these maps? The majority of these maps are awful. These tight, urban, asymmetrical maps with countless dead zones too many sight lines and overall confusing layouts are the least bit enjoyable aspect of the game. Truth (Midship) is amazing. Regret (in the beta) was probably the first time I was happy and even blown away with 343i. But now Regret has a Fuel Rod Cannon instead of the Hydra and NOT one BR can be found on the map as a result i never want to play on it. You may think I’m picky player for disliking an entire map just because of a few missing weapons, but I’m quite the opposite, give me a BR and I’ll shut up. In the mean time, I will complain about his until my final breath. - Why is the radar so useless? Seriously this thing has the range of a blind Marine not a state-of -the-art super soldier. - Why are there so many players in Free For All? It honestly doesn’t matter what map you play in this playlist whether its a big one or a small one, the result will be the same,YOU KILL then IMMEDIATELY GET KILLED. There’s just too many players traversing the maps too quickly, that there is absolutely no way you can get a kill without getting killed before your shields recharge. And the spawn hunting in this playlist is mental.Out of my 10 qualifying matches I would honestly say that about 40% of my deaths occurred within seconds of my respawns. - Priorities? As a forger I was sad to hear and see that forge will not be in the game until the holidays. And I understand why is was delayed, forge is huge and complex and with the recent news about it is now a Map Creator as opposed to a Map Editor. And where my questions arises is: Why did Forge, Big Team Battle, and game types such as KOTH and Oddball have to take a back seat for Warzone? I mean, where are your priorities? Warzone at this point in the game is an experiment - nobody knows if is a success or a failure (giving it the benefit of the doubt, Invasion was a complete was a failure, and firefight got old quick. So mixing the two together should result in Success). But we DO know that Forge, Big Team Battle, and classic game modes like KOTH and Oddball are successful. This decision along with all the other decisions I have touched upon, are illogical. And further illogical decisions with no doubt bury this franchise. I AM NOT A HATER, IN FACT I LOVE HALO, 343 just needs to smarten up. <3
TLDR; can you break this up to easier to read paragraphs. I keep losing my place when reading.
-thank you
Ya, agree with most points, just shorten it a bit.
With response to #12, social modes are coming, forge is coming. Just have to wait. If all those modes came out at once, Warzone wouldn’t be looked at as much. Warzone creates the feedback loop of earning RP and spending cards which is crucial to the longevity of H5. Give 343 time.

- Who knows.
- There is need for further comments, because you can get a BR at start from Breakout and Slayer, plus SWAT modes start with BR. You clearly haven’t played the game much.
- Why does 343i do anything different? Why the hell not.
- The AR is not overpowered, you’re funny.
- I don’t think you’re wrong there.
- Plasma Caster is fun as hell.
- That’s nostalgia talking.
- No comment.
- Only like two maps will I agree with you on there.
- Radar isn’t useless, people just refuse to adapt to it.
- They’ve addressed the problems with FFA.
- Everything you said boils down to you not wanting change or being able to adapt.
@ Ace Carver Honestly man play a 1v1 with a friend on Truth with BR starts and 10% less speed to the base player movement and tell me this is not a way better experience. And what you said for number 12. has nothing to do with what I said in number 12. Seriously, we should all be questioning their priorities. Also number 3. you missed the point 343 can do what ever they want differently, but is has to make sense. Faster spartan movements plus slow firing magnum equals less accuracy which equals less fun. And as for me not playing much dude come on I’m not an idiot, I’m aware that SWAT has BR starts and the fact that you can grab a BR in the beginning of Breakout doesn’t apply. Not one regular game type has BR starts that’s just wrong man, don’t defend something as stupid as that man you break my heart. And while we’re at it, lets get another thing straight, everything about Breakout, right down to the maps’ color schemes, sucks. This game type simply isn’t fun and it further splits up the community into the Twitch Shooters who want one shot, one kill games and the true Halo Players looking for that classic fun time that requires skill. P.S number 7. is not nostalgia talking the original scope was far superior to the current one, what are you even saying man… you break my heart. </3 P.P.S and before/if you reply, make sure you read the first line of this response and actually do it, if you don’t experience anything different i will no longer argue with you, on the account that you have no idea what you’re talking about. <3
I only have One question.
Why do you complain so much?
You clearly just want to hate the game based on some of your complaints. You don’t have to play the game you know. It is a choice.

Well, it looks like we have nothing to discuss, due to you assuming your opinions are fact. You would say I have no idea what I’m talking about if I disagree with the way you like playing the game. We can just end this here then, my points still stand though.
-
Them’s the breaks. It sucks but eventually you’ll get it.
-
No. Just no. AR Starts is the best thing to not make every map a snipe-fest. People don’t camp now.
-
Speed seems fine to me.
-
Lol no. AR is fine where it is. It’s the best AR that’s been in any Halo game.
-
It’s totally not? Works great to me.
-
I agree, it’s rather lackluster.
-
While I’d like a zoom with it, the scope is fine and I like it.
-
I agree, breakout needs it’s own playlist, not in Team Slayer.
-
The maps are ok to me, we just needed a lot more at launch.
-
Radar’s fine. Just don’t rely on it so much.
-
Haven’t played FFA but it sounds fun and chaotic
-
Hopefully by the holidays we’ll have a more complete Multiplayer experience. .
@ N0vaOrbis I play it because I care about the franchise, and I’ll still care about it long after you have forgotten it. I play the game because i want to play a functioning halo game. To me the fact the MCC doesn’t have designated severs means its still broken so that games out of the question in my eyes. These complaints are so miner man honestly. Nothing major like remove sprint or something,I’m asking for things that make a Halo experience a Halo experience. NOT ONE GAME TYPE HAS BR STARTS HOW CAN THAT BE JUSTIFIED?
@gooflabrain So if Warzone can’t compete with the other game types fairly, meaning they are at launched at the same time, then why even bother creating it? Sure, 343 wants people to play it, I get that. But if it cant stand out on its own then why put so much effort and marketing into it? I get people want o play it, but people also want to play BTB and forge. Warzone has not earned its place in Halo yet where as the other game types I mentioned have, its unfair to do that to the community, whether they care or not. Removing options for the player, even for a couple months is just not cool. Halo got along just fine without earning anything or spending cards throughout the franchise, it is not crucial to its longevity. Good game design is crucial to its longevity, smart decisions and improvements also play a factor.
@ Ace Carver By the way, did you even try the custom game I asked you to play?
You have too many issues but the few I will answer.
- Unlocking emblems is an issue but sometimes fun to see that I get a good emblem. The only issue I have with those is the colors.
- Because when would you use ARs?
- Never seen this issue, usually too low accuracy to reach across the map, so either you are bad enough not to get behind cover or…
-
- Not issues… All answers including your issue are subjective.
- Because it’s team ARENA.
That is all
