Warzone has no time limit

Whenever you tie in a game of CTF, Strongholds, Assault, Grifball, or many other gametypes, it’s usually due to the fact that the timer ran out while you happened to have the same score.
Warzone has no time limit, so you’d think it would be impossible to tie in Warzone. That’s what I always thought, at least.

Today, I learned I was wrong.

To explain how we got here:

My team was in the lead by about 200 points. We had two bases. The enemy back capped us.
Then, the enemy brought out two tanks and eliminated Warden, bringing us to about 990 each.
The score became 999-998, our favor.
We gained the points from our bases, bringing us both to 1000 points.
And we yoinking tied in Warzone.

Yeah, although extremely rare, it’s possible to tie in Warzone. A lot of things have to go right near the end of the game for it to happen.

Yeah it is alway extremely amusing when it happens. The first time for me was I believe during the first month Halo 5 was out. My friend traded kills in Stormbreak and ended up tying the game to 1000-1000… It certainly is rare, I’ve got 4399 games played atm and have only 3 ties. That’s about 0.07% for me.

That’s pretty funny actually. The game didn’t know what to think at that point. Buck says you’ve gained the lead and before you know it he is saying you lost the game haha. But you ended up tying which is really rare.

Ya I’ve tied twice

Interesting but seems Nathan Fillion counts it as a loss. The games quite odd for it’s announcement’s since it’s the same mode where it claims I can still take the core while losing badly.

Yeah. I never understood the “you can still take the core” mentality, since it’s not something you just do. You need to triple cap first.

Not sure, I assume they think we know Instant Transmission. I know I can pull a team from near defeat sometimes but sometimes what they want us to is kind of impossible.

Even if you could get inside the base, there are still defenses around the core. Remember that time there was a glitch where Arclight shot through the defenses?

Had to look that up, I have heard it mentioned numerous times but I hadn’t realised what it actually was.

I’ve played 1087 games of warzone and have 1 tie. I can’t for the life of me remember when that happened

I hope I was the one he traded kills with. I also had a game on Stormbreak in the first month-ish of launch that tied when I traded kills with someone at the end. That would be such a “small world moment” lol.
