Warzone Boss/VP Suggestion

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Having played a fair amount of Warzone matches, I’ve found that too often a boss will be defeated by a final sniper shot from across the map, from the opposing team. It seems that the team that rotated away from their control points, and put effort into securing the boss and surrounding area, is rarely awarded. I myself have been guilty of hanging back from a contested boss and simply unloading my clip at the last second.

I have a suggestion: what if when defeated, the boss dropped an orb/item that needed to be picked up in order for the VP to be awarded. In this instance, the team that truly put effort into downing the boss and risked their control points, can be rewarded and not worry about their efforts being fruitless due to a single bullet. Further, this still allows the opposing team to speed in on a vehicle or cloak in to try and steal the orb, yet makes it a risky proposition.

Thoughts?

Ik what you mean, happens all the time to me. My only complaint.

One one hand, it would be a good idea so those that actually lock down the boss area get the reward.

However on the other hand, that sniper from afar did in all fairness kill the boss as well, even if it is considered somewhat cheap.

I would say split the reward. Half the points go to the team that ‘kills’ the boss, while the other half of the points are contained in that ‘drop’. Now in the situation that the ‘drop’ isn’t picked up in a certain amount of time (or it falls off/below the map/out of bounds), it is then awarded to the team that took the kill.
