Everyone has been giving their two cents about the initial release of Warzone Firefight and while I think the high points have been hit in the discussion, there is something minor I wanna talk about and it’s about the vehicles. Vehicles are very important to WZFF and in my experience they’re the most valuable REQs to spend. However, there is a problem with point distribution, specifically with Warthogs, and that problem is that drivers don’t get any points for driving.
Warthogs and their passengers are sitting ducks when they aren’t moving, so it’s up to a driver to keep a warthog alive. In other modes, when the gunner gets a kill, the driver gets assist points, but in WZFF, the driver gets nothing. On a good Warthog Run, the gunner will rack up tons of points, while the driver stumpers farther down the scoreboard. I can see this easily leading to fewer vehicles spawned, and less firepower that fireteams need to survive through round 5. So the solution is simple:
In WZFF, when a vehicle gunner gets a kill, give the driver assist points, just like in other modes
So yeah, that was a little problem I have with WZFF. Hopefully 343 sees this, and thank you for reading through my probably overwritten suggestion
Yeah, it will be useful since if your driving someone, you cant really get kills.

The drivers get assists for kills that have an assist available already. There are enemy types like grunts and crawlers that do not have assists associated to them so you won’t get an assist for that.
Just sit the warthog in the back of the map and sentry it. It’s more helpful in my opinion than driving through.
Lol, Warthog drivers get loads of kills
At the beginning of the game I take out a Scout Warthog and cream.

I drove someone around in a rocket hog while they shot at Boss banshees and didn’t even get a takedown assist. Those are the assists the really matter to me
You can’t get kills as a driver?
As soon as round 1 starts I spawn a scout a warthog, My record for first round kills by running them over is 37 in the first round. LOL.
But i get what you are saying and I do agree drivers need to get the assist points as well.

Thats really a good like strategy. I should try this! -GradeBoose
It’s been 9 months and wheelman medals still don’t count of assists, so don’t get your hopes up for this.

I can get splatters against AI, but it’s a risky maneuver when unplatterable enemies like knights are around, or if there’s a thousand roadblocks on a map like Urban (On a side note, Urban isn’t good for WZFF).
