This is a small topic but it is one I care deeply about. What made me love Fiesta was the (surprise) randomness. I could spend hours playing the mind-numbingly simple but extremely enjoyable experience that came with explosive weaponry, plasma swords and more all thrown into the same battlefield. But can you imagine Fiesta with the upgraded Warzone weapon variants included? Some of these are buffed variants of existing weapons - Nornfang, SPNKR EM, Ravening Sliver - but some are truly unique, with interesting mechanics that would make Fiesta so much more fun. Whispered Truth, a burst-fire magnum with a built-in silencer and speed boost. SPNKR EX, with proximity detonation and lingering damage mines. Void’s Tear, which made a gravimetric vortex upon charged shots and pulled in targets, and Arclight, a railgun whose charge could be held forever. These weapons would make Fiesta so much more fun, and might somewhat maybe possibly slightly make up for the fact that we are apparently not getting Infection in the February update. This would be easy to program on 343’s part, and I don’t think this is a case of convincing them that this is a good idea and one they should invest time and effort in, but one of getting the idea out there so they can see it. I want to see High Fives shutting down Prophet’s Banes. I want to see Arrows of Time out sniping Twin Jewels of Maethrillan. I want to see Blaze of Glory rushing Heartseeker. I want to see Vorpal Talon and Hailstorm getting destroyed by Pool of Radiance. If you agree with this, comment and like so this post can gain steam. (Please note: this is not a post about Infection. As such I would be grateful if you stay on topic or find a post focusing on it as opposed to ranting on about how much Halo needs it in this one. Thank you).
In retrospect, I think the best way to implement this would be having it as a game mode variant. You could have the classic fiesta with all regular weapons, and then this version with upgraded REQ variants included.
I agree it would be awesome.
It should be like that but i doubt it will be like that
Ehh idk. Fiesta is fun because of random weapons but adding in unpredictable OP guns may take it to far.

REQ Fiesta?? Only powerful variants. I guess it can work as a very fun social gametype

Bump
My biggest issue with random guns is I never know what’s in my hand. There needs to be a hud notification telling me what gun I have lol.
But you know how it sucks when you spawn with a plasma pistol and suppressor? Imagine spawning with a plasma pistol and suppressor (or whatever you personally hate spawning with) and the enemy spawns with nornfang and oathsworn. Game over lol. All I’m saying is, I would prefer sticking to the default weapons.
One with default and one with the top tier reqs would be fun

yeah, sounds good
different gamemodes for different rareities/req-level/weapon class(like shotgun → class 1, lawgiver → class 2 …) could probably work/ be kinda balanced

I’m not vs it, I just don’t know how crazy a “REQ fiesta” count be. All I’m thinking of right now is rockets , fuel rods, incinerating cannons of the highest variety going off all game long.
Would be very awesome doubt that they are going to do it.
Yeah, I think there should be several variants of Fiesta. Perhaps something like this:
standard weapons only (classic Fiesta)
standard and upgraded weapons
upgraded weapons only
standard and upgraded loadout weapons only (?)

But that is the beauty of Fiesta. I spawn with rockets and get a triple kill, but then I am shut down by a sniper, who is ambushed by a player wielding a needler. Even weak weapons have a chance because players with powerful weapons can be distracted or weakened by other targets.
I always agree when i see ‘Lets add warzone weapons into social gametypes’ and actually silently hope for it, but always doubt that 343i will do so. It’d be a nice feature and would really give some spice to this game.
Along with this idea, it’d be cool if some of these REQ weapons could make it in other social playlists as weapon pad spawns. Big team is all for now, that would be interesting.
I remember in the Beta when Prophet’s Bane was in Regret. That was kinda fun, although the Bane covered half your screen in light.
I like the idea, action sack was brilliant playlist when you are drunk. Perfect for weekends.
Two gametypes, Fiesta and its variant REQ Fiesta. That sounds nice.
It would be fun, but then someone gets a prophets bane and owns every one.

YES! I really hope 343 does it like that, although I doubt they will do it at all.
