not in a physical sense, the game mode works fine. But after playing a few matches today, something is really off. Ill give 2 examples.
Match 1:
I am the defending team, we are defending the spire on Apex 7, their are only 20 seconds left and we are winning. then for some reason Palmer says, “armory capture imminent” wait what? we are still defending the spire? “time reset” wait, no. I then get killed and I re-spawn at the core, like other team mates, to far away to stop the capture of the spire, which was captured after the armory.
What? this should not happen… what just happened?
Match 2;
I am on storm-break, attacking team. first thing I notice is 1 teammate, run off to the armory, right past the fortress, curious, I sneakily followed behind. He began spartan charging the doors, which were sealed. after watching from a distance for 30 seconds, I gave up and went through capturing the spire like a normal match. seconds before the spire is captured and I am killed. but here is where it gets weird again, seconds after the spire is captured, Palmer says. “armory capture imminent” then it is captured before the defenders can react. What? what is going on here?
I have no clue what this is, a glitch, an exploit? it seems more then one person knows of this if so. It is making WA unfair and broken. teams are being pushed back before they can even react. As of now, this game modes flow is broken.
This is totally a glitch, and is exploited. It wasn’t always like this, it may have gotten through in a recent patch. There was a whole huge thread about it yesterday.
People had mixed feelings about it, on the issue of exploiting it or not. Overall, yes I’m pretty sure it’s a bug that needs to be fixed.
Here’s that aforementioned thread, it’s locked now: Huge thread. You can read through what people think there if this doesn’t pick up traction.
to me, this is a big problem, it destroys the flow of WA and really catches those who don’t know by surprise like it did to me, it puts the teams off guard and pushes them to the core before they can react to the coming situation.
ok, so after looking at the thread provided by Yums, I guess this is not a glitch, in a sense. (that’s my way of seeing it) while it is not literal glitching, it is exploiting the games design and how it was intended to work, some people in the other thread told others to adapt, but the issue is, most people don’t know about this. How can you say such a thing when only small amount know? that is why it hurts gameplay, because most won’t know whats happening.

WOW i was not expecting coming into this thread and Seeing someone mention my post.
I think wrong spawns is big problem. After losing first point my whole team got spawned near the core so we couldn’t defend second point cause attackers were already here. That’s sucks so hard.
just had 2 games in a row where this happened i wont be playing it again and is going to push me out of playing halo all together as there is no point in playing when u cant play the game.
This has happened to me. So i went to theater to see how and it looks like they make the marines in the armory kill themselves with the bullet ricochet.
I don’t understand how people haven’t noticed or heard of this before. It´s basically in every assault game and has been for a while now, and all you need to do to stop them is to have one person sit in the armory. The other team who´s trying to glitch capture it can’t and they can’t touch you either. It is really fun, because they send tons of players there and they don’t understand why their cheating isn’t working. Now it´s best to hide in the base so that they think they can capture it and thus will waste time while the clock is ticking on the fortress: buuuut, it might also be fun to just stand visible behind the red barriers and taunt the mf* that is trying to cheat you.
now, this is a two sided coin, yes, it can be seen as a sneaky strategy, but most of the community does not know of this, that is the biggest issue, now, I had the luck of playing both sides one after the other, so I got to see what actually happened. This could be used as a way to make WA more dynamic, but, the issue, is that it throws off the flow of WA and catches those who don’t know off guard. 343 has to fix this, while literally a glitch, this is game breaking to assault. Thank god BTB came out today.
The big issue is that when the armory is taken and defending players die, they spawn at the core, this makes them to far away to defend the first base, giving the attackers an easy and unfair capture.
