Alright Ladies, Gentleman, Spartans, and Sanghelli the holidays are upon us and with that comes new players. Some may come from the price drops to H5 proper or it’s inclusion in the Game Pass either way we should get some new (or newer) players coming into the game (or possibly series) we love. I personally want to welcome these new players with open arms.
I (and many others on this forum) am in the envious position of having everything unlocked and once everything is unlocked most requisitions become bountiful and almost never ending in supply. The new players out there and other players who simply don’t have the bounty I (we) have access to. Some of these players may not have the tools to really play with the more experienced players in warzone. Sometimes these people end up quitting the match/thus making it harder on the rest of us. This shouldn’t be their only experience in warzone. A little encouragement might help them find their way a bit easier. So my proposal (and one I intend to complete even if only I’m doing it) is that on 24th, 25th, and 26th of December 2017 if you see one of these new players on your team; we take a specific course of action. Get their attention…call them over to a req station and spawn something for them. It could be an open hand, a blaze of glory, or a mantis the choice is yours (and mine.) Let’s make Halo 5 a bit more inviting to the people just starting out even if it’s just for one day. A message or a microphone would probably benefit the task.
How do I recognize these players?
Well, if you see one in a post match screen and then in your next game that’s a pretty easy one. If they are still using an AR/Pistol and you’re on level five or six reqs. That might be a clue too. Sometimes people seem to have no idea what they should be doing…which may be another clue. If you don’t mind a two screen experience you can also check SR on here during a respawn.
The date?
24-26 December 2017 or December 24-26 2017 depending on your preferred method of noting the date.
How do I give away a req?
There are a few ways you could. Grab a mic and have them meet you at a req station. Spawn a mantis and hop out in front of them. Even just gunning/driving a warthog might make the experience a bit better for those newer players.
Which reqs should I give away?
That is up to you. If you want to spawn some suppressors or offer DMRs by picking up a weapon off the ground? That’s cool. If you want to give away a sniper or rockets. That’s cool too.
Will some people take advantage?
Inevitably yes. There are alway a few people, but they should remain the minority and there isn’t anything wrong with doing something nice for a newer player.
Which warzone?
Well, any of them really. Regular warzone, Firefight, assault, any would work.
And if I don’t want to participate?
Then don’t. This is just something I’m going to be doing. I’d like some of you to join me, but the choice is yours.
You’ve done this before right?
Yep, this is the fourth iteration of Warzone Charity Day all with some degree of success.
Is there some reward for all this?
Nope. It’s just about making the community more inviting to the new people. If you consider this a worthwhile task feel free to join in.
What about responses?
If you get a particularly heartwarming or funny response feel free to clip it/screen shot it and let everybody who is interested about it know.
Feel free to ask any questions you have, I’ll try and get to them.
