Warzone Firefight Target Audience

Who tested this game mode?

Is it intended that you have to have a 8 man fireteam of sweaty tryhards all in party chat synchronising top req usage to even have a chance of winning?

Seriously does it have to be this tedious and frustrating?

Personally in a fireteam it may be fine, for a sole spartan it may also be fine, but some of the stupid tasks are near impossible to finish due to the 3 minutes or so time limit. I lost my last match as we couldn’t find enough knights on stormbreak. I don’t think firefight is intended for lower lever players as this game mode requires high level gear, which most don’t have. I also have to agree that the testing seems a bit slap dash. P.S the wasp is quite effective in firefight with the wheelman armour mod on.

Just want to know if its even supposed to be possible with a random group.

It’s intended for the people who have high level REQs and who want to spam them to win. If you’re looking for a fun relaxing mode… then this isn’t for you, it’s sweat central in even Firefight unfortunately.

It’s a shame. The beta was the only place I could spawn a vehicle and not worry about losing it in 5 seconds. In 343’s defense, people said they wanted hard, so they made it hard

Why does it have to be hard? Its NPC enemies ffs.

Hey, at least you can use the vehicles (well some of them) in forge now!

And yes, we asked for it be hard and they delivered and I am happy about it.

I haven’t played it yet. I’m hoping it’s not as frustrating as it sounds. I can deal with difficult. If it’s near impossible then it sounds questionable. I’ll find out tomorrow. 343 listened though, can’t deny that.

Some of the boss fights are really next to impossible to win. 3 wardens inside the home base or 4 mythic hunters is a joke. Failed them every time.

I play solo with random and have been winning… but I am a beast… :slight_smile:

For sure…had to kill 80 crawlers and took almost the entire clock to locate them. I literally almost made a video and posted it an hour ago but luckily we found them with 1:14 left on the time and took’em out with 4 seconds left. I have all the reqs unlocked and do NOT hold any of them back. Unless you have two or three others who do the same I do not think you’ll clear all the waves.

Yeah, been playing with randoms here too and not so much trouble so far. Lost some protect rounds but I prefer that to it being a mindless cakewalk. I didn’t think I’d enjoy Warzone Firefight, but I genuinely do.

Would still prefer a customizable Firefight, but it is what it is.

If you are winning consistently solo then I have a bridge to sell you. Firefight needs a nerf. Big time.

I agree with them making it a little more difficult, but they made it way harder. They need to tone the difficulty down a little bit now. Not much though.

It should be easily doable by a group of 8 randoms, as it is now you lose 4 games out of every 5 unless you have mythic rec weapons.

Firefight was difficult in ODST it was no hand out. Need top level REQ’s just means that another mode I wont be enjoying as I’m too casual a player.

Pity had high hopes it. To be honest be better loading up ODST firefight on backwards compatibility and enjoying it as it originally was

I was hoping for a more casual experience rather than having to completely bust my -Yoink- to win, something more fun than this would have been ideal. I won’t be playing too much of this at all

When you hit req level 6 just spawn a scorpion you definitly have a chance if 2 more people spawn tanks or aircraft

They just need to reduce the respawn timer and make everything have like 20% less health. Maybe spawn in more enemies to make up for it. Shooting lots of small enemies is really fun, shooting 1 large enemy isn’t fun.

yeah but that doesnt give them an excuse to not polish and not give us the best experience till the update drops. (they had a freaking beta which should make it even easier). the final version just seems like a 2nd beta and we gave them more than enough time.
