I just recently returned to H5 after a long hiatus, and got to play the new Mythic Warzone Firefight. Pretty intense playlist, and the skulls really make this more challenging.
The only issue I found during my experience was that I happened to look away from my screen for a moment before a new round started, so I missed the on-screen text prompt informing players about active skulls. Sure, I should have done some reading into the new update before getting my feet wet, but I had no idea that skulls were being implemented. Unfortunately, I found out the hard way when Black Eye being active resulted in mine and my Hog passenger’s deaths. …lol
MY SUGGESTION:
Possibly adding some degree of a visual aesthetic that remains visible throughout the round, to help remind players what the stakes are. I’m thinking that keeping it similar to the way active skulls appear in campaign would work fine.
Now that I’ve played the new Mythic Firefight a few times, I know what to expect. But I imagine more casual players (or at least less attentive players) would benefit greatly from this addition.
