Why Can't We Choose Where We Spawn in Firefight?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

For the record 343i, you owe me so many REQs based on the crap spawns I’ve been dealt on Firefight. And the tipping the recent one I experienced. We have to take on two Grunt Mechs that are at each side of one of the home bases. So I decide to get a Wraith. Guess where I spawned? BETWEEN THE TWO GRUNT MECHS. And I got killed immediately because of that. What happened to the Fortress Spawn? I am sick of this happening. How come I can choose which base I can spawn at on Warzone but not Warzone Firefight. On some maps you spawn close to the action but on others, the game will spawn you on the other side of the map because you don’t get a choice and this can really screw the entire team over when you have 1 minute left and you can’t make it back to the fight because the game decided to be stupid and spawn me at the worst possible spawn.

Over the past year I have tried my best to bring up certain things in firefight that have been a major issue like impossible objectives, promethians being way to overpowered and I don’t do this just because I don’t like it. I like the challenge but sometimes 343i you’re just going way overboard with some of this. As I just said, I like the challenge but it needs to be fair otherwise you’re artificially increasing the difficulty in a way that isn’t fun. I love Firefight, it gives me something to play because I’m not the best at Arena.

You have to add in the ability to control where we spawn. I have a feeling someone will mention this so I will just respond to it now. I realize that doing this might not be easy, I realize that this sort of thing might take time to program in but it’s something that is needed.

Because if you die you’ll forget where the action was before you respawn.

Well, at least when you have played in Escape from Arc, you didn’t spawn in the blue home base with a scoprion while the bosses were at the red home base… I did. It took me 90 seconds to reach the red base. That was the longest ride I made

Spawning a tank at blue base on Raid on Apex 7 and having to drive to the other base, I was all but useless in that final round it felt like.

5

I know they are trying to fix some of the spawning issues. but yeah its really annoying to have to drive cross map with a tank at 2mph…

6

This pain is real. Half the time it’s what keeps me from spawning a more useful vehicle.

Indeed. If we can choose in regular WZ, I just fail to understand why it would be so hard to let us choose in FF, especially since we’ve been complaining about the spawns since it dropped. That way they kind of push it back on us and it becomes our own dumb fault if we choose a bad spawn, LOL.

8

it’s annoying to have 30 sec respawn time and then have to run across the map to fight

you die in round 5 you lose an entire minute. don’t die on round 5.

you pick that one thing to say this isn’t needed. what if you don’t die, call in a vehicle and spawn on the other side of the map. or even worse right where the bosses are.

That the good old warzone FF luck. Ive spawned in front of a knight/warden/grunt mech plenty of times.

I actually do agree we should be able to choose where we spawn. 30seconds to respawn, 30 more to get across map. If theres but 2 minutes left you might as well put the controller down if you die at that point.

Im not in disagreement butim just noting that the current method makes staying alive much more important.

Or if you’re already alive, just don’t try spawning in a vehicle xD

Call in an Answer or River of Light instead. Otherwise you risk having the game spawn the vehicle right where a horde of enemies have a free shot on it while its coming out, just like being Spawn-Hijacked in regular Warzone. If you’re gonna call in a vehicle at that point, at least make it a Wraith since it can boost (And tbh, get better hits in on “camping” bosses like the Warden/Hunter bosses in the bases)
