Warzone needs more AI baddies

It does, it really does.

I thought it was going to be a “warzone” not Big team slayer with a couple of bosses spread thin throughout the match.

We need random low-level AI enemies to be spawning CONSTANTLY, a few grunts over here, some crawlers over there. Maybe a random ghost or two, a banshee flying over the spire causing havoc even a dropship passing by peppering the landscape as it makes it way from point A to point B. Bring some LIFE into the mode, this is supposed to be the replacement for Spartan Ops and Firefight but it just feels like slayer. I like it, it has a lot of potential but really it’s just about killing each other and capping bases, hardly about AI at all. Imagine how cool it would be if you were taking over the spire and suddenly a few soldiers spawned in and made it a three way battle for the base? Or even allow AI to retake bases if they defeat all of the players so you have to fight in and reclaim it. Warzone needs more War and less Big Team Slayer.

More bosses would definitely be beneficial. Maybe 5-10 point bosses that spawn every minute or so

I agree. The Commendations for killing X amount of certain enemies will be ridiculous at higher levels.

Yeah, even medium-tier enemies like elites and soldiers that are worth 10 points would help. Have the grunts and crawlers worth only 1 point.

I agree. It comes off as a BTB with objectives. Not a fan of the card setup either. With enough time and data they’ll make tweaks or other gamemodes.

6

Agreed. More little minions that spawn with the bosses, along with randomizing their spawn points would make warzone much more appealing.

I just want to see dropships coming in and landing frequently, Prometheans warping in at regular times and maybe some minor objectives too like cap some spot on the map for bonus points.

There also needs to be AI requisitions for attack and defense. 343 has the nucleus of something cool but they need to do more to fulfill its potential. Don’t go for compromised half measures, go all out on the fun Warzone could be.

9

There need to be some kind of aggressive bots that attack bases and try to take them back/make them neutral. Or maybe the ability to order marines around with the ‘Attack/Move here’ button from Campaign

yea that would be fun, instead of just having them chill in 1 spot have them run around the map and try to take back an armory or the middle base.

I would enjoy random enemies scattered about. Maybe they would be worth a point each like a spartan or no points and just be there to catch you off guard. Also originally it sounded like Raid on Apex 7 would have enemies try to regain the Spire which would make it even more challenging and fun.

I second this! Honestly i think they should randomize the bosses rather than the same every time. Hopefully with this new dlc that they are working on they can put something fun like that out!

14

I’d say waves of robots attacking Marines all across the map would definitely be cool

That would be cool, or even have it where some marine squads will go to other enemy strong holds and try to clear it out for their team.

16

Get on it 343, make it a real war!

17

It would be pretty sweet if there were AI REQ cards, call in three marines to your position or something.

18

its not likely to happen I doubt they would chance any drop in FPS for it, which undoubtedly would happen when stuffing large amounts of npc’s into the already maxed out hardware.

Forgot to add that i to would love to see battalions of enemies dropping into the maps as well.

19

It doesn’t have to have a million enemies but a dropship leaving a small group of around 7 enemies or a warp every few minuets somewhere on the map would help a lot.

Yeah. Honestly, there may as well not be any AI grunts because they only serve as a nuisance in the armories. They don’t advance up the battlefield and there are only ever a few of them per base. I either kill them quickly while taking the armory or get killed by one of them I didn’t see while fighting another Spartan. They don’t contribute anything to the battles other than the occasional death or kill.
