Me and my friends generally only play Warzone because BTB sucks and arena just doesn’t feel right to us.
But the glaring problem is it will get mundane now. People camp boss spawn points to get instant assassinations, and all bosses are on a set timer and will only spawn that one boss, and there is now no uniqueness anymore and there is no new bosses to my knowledge. The new WZ map showed the Warden and some Hunters. We need new bosses for new maps.
Furthermore we need new Warzone game modes. 343i, you banked on Warzone to be your bread and butter, but if we get bored of old and new content faster than new stuff comes in then you lose lots of money.
Some things we need are;
Big Team Warzone Slayer - No AI’s, maybe some objective points to keep the games interesting. - PvE Warzone - Self-explanatory, make it big, make it crazy and make it fun. - Forged Warzone Assault maps - Warzone Assault feels like an after-thought game mode, made in the end of development. Forged maps shouldn’t be that hard to make since they are about half the size of a standard WZ map. - Forge a few full Warzone maps if your Forge World maps can support such a map - Giving use free stuff is great, but if we get bored of your free content because you are trickling the content in then it is all moot. You need to keep us all interested and keep us coming back, or else the population will keep dwindling. - Fix some Req levels on vehicles and weapons - Look at the data; req 8 Mantis can easily be killed by a req 5 Wraith. A req 7 Gauss “anti tank” vehicle blows up from one tank round and has no magnetism for the turret. It’s very inaccurate and dies instantly because everything at Req 7 can 1-hit it. Mantis and Gauss should be a Req 5-6 vehicle. Look at all your data on weapon statistics and re-adjust their levels based on their effectiveness and usage level. - ADD THE MEDAL VOICE ANNOUNCER! - The game is kinda boring only hearing Palmer chime into stuff you can’t do crap about because 5 seconds later you lose your armoury. Hearing the iconic killing sprees and double+ kills would be awesome, it jazzes us up and makes moments truly epic. There have been times I casually look down and notice I’m on a killtacular without really noticing.These are just a few suggestions off the top of my head, please, everyone tell us your ideas. We need this game mode to be vibrant and fun with lots of content.
Too late…Warzone is officially stagnant. 343i are letting their game die faster than anticipated.
Warzone is just a place for -Yoinking!- about (largely due to lack of social playlists), KD -Yoink!-, getting commendations and REQ points to unlock the items we should be able to access in other achievable ways (as per most games ever made).
Ever wondered why your team doesn’t go for objectives or bosses? Ever wondered why the maps seem so quiet when there’s 24 players? Its either because they’re crap at the game, dont know what they’re doing or just -Yoinking!- about.
You’re right about the maps (rotation and lack of), spawn times, bosses, objectives…its boring and mundane less than 2 months after release.

You sound pretty emotional. No need to have that many -Yoinks!- in your response about something you find boring.

I’m actually finding Big Team worse for a lot of this as its stats count as arena stats. Lots of guys padding their stats and people screwing around. I’m playing in Australia though so it might be different.

Pretty sure it’s universal that most randoms screw around in BTB. I see it a lot.

I’ve always mainly played Big Team but I’m inclined to lean more towards Warzone now after trying them both out in Halo 5.
Warzone is getting a decent update with the Cartographers Gift by the looks so that should keep it fresh for awhile longer at least.
Pve warzone would definitely help. Warzone has become bigger team battle. It was really fun that first week when those games where so close and intense. Now my wins are a 50/50 either im on the team doing the steamrolling or im on the team gettin steam rolled.

Yes, if they don’t add more modes, new bosses and more maps through DLC or forge then it will be too little too late.
Why does BTB suck? I think it’s better than the -Yoink- of a playlist warzone, at least BTB is somewhat-ranked, so people actually try and it’s not based on which weapons you got lucky enough to unlock in the REQ packs.
this is what i want to see added to Warzone Assault. My biggest knock on Assault is that it can be very uneven at times. Played 5 or 6 Assault games the other night and was on the attacking side each time, which I think is the harder of the two, so my suggestions are listed below. Open for discussion whether it is positive or negative feedback.Game Play
Each teams gets a turn Attacking and Defending. Yes, I understand that this could cause the matches to run longer. - So if Red starts off attacking, the game plays out like it does now. once the game finishes, whether it is from destroying the core or time runs out, instead of the game ending the teams switch and Red is defending now. - Say Red was able to capture 1 base then for Blue to win they have to capture 2. If red captures 2 then Blue has to destroy the core to win and so. - If the 2 teams tie, both destroy the core or capture the same number of bases, then instead of ending in a draw there is a tie-breaker.Tie-Breaker Rules
One of the bases that is captured during normal game play starts as neutral. - 3 minutes long - Ways to win: Capture the base (like normal game play if attacking) or control the base for the longest amount of time during the Tie-Breaker roundNot a huge change but a change that I think would make the game more balanced for both teams.

I think each team will get a turn at attacking and defending in the next update? unless i read it wrong,
I would love to see any of those suggestions put into play, but the assertion that warzone will stagnate without them is a little dramatic. Why are people still playing team slayer after fifteen years? Some things just never get old, and I’m betting warzone is one of them.

But once you do unlock those REQs… Mmmm. I just got the sword that allows you to run faster and use your thruster twice in one CD. I’ve used it twice and I used up both swords till they were finished.
