12v12 Slayer on smaller WZ maps. If there must be an objective, maybe 2-flag CTF on Darkstar with flags in the Armories?
Something to change it up would be great. I played WZ and WZA mostly for the first 8 months of H5 and got burned out. Went over to Arena 8v8 BTB which never felt right in H5 due to the lack of 343 dedicated maps. Warzone got the treatment I assume BTB would have typically received but even new WZ maps get old quickly with the same game-type over and over. I think there’s a lot of fun yet to be explored in Warzone but we just need less Warden Eternal and more power weapon/vehicle carnage. 24 player Super Fiesta? just kidding… but seriously.
Thoughts?
A warzone slayer seems rather bland to me, especially with btb. They should really just expand on current warzone and add more objectives to it and making the maps actually feel unique/different from each other.
I recall reading somewhere that Warzone CTF Was in development, but I honestly can’t remember where.
If anyone else has information, quote me.
I’m totally up for that. Warzone Slayer seems legit seeing as Warzone kinda replaces BTB.
BTB was supposed to be a game type with the max amount of players. With Warzone that number has increased and so Warzone is essentially BTB.
Id be up to having all BTB game types adapted into Warzone.

Honestly, part of the reason I like warzone as much as I do is the varying objectives. When I spawn in I get to decide what is most important, do I want to play rabbit for a bit and distract the enemy? Would it be better to take out those two 25 point bosses? Should I just set back and defend our armory/garage etc? Should I set up to take out that major boss that is spawning in a minute? Should I make an end run on one of the bases? Is there a vehicle or weapon on the field that is hurting my team enough that I need to prioritize taking it out? Should I set up to suppress the other team?
Personally I’d prefer more objective variety be added and having conflicting objectives with consequences that could happen later in the match. For instance a ‘vip’ and a ‘data pad’ both get spawned in at the same time and you have the choice about which to go after knowing your team can only retrieve one. If you get the data pad then it’s worth 10 points, but it gives your bases a small, easily destroyable autoturret that lets you defend a bit easier. If you go after the VIP you get more points. That’s the kind of thing I’d like to see warzone progress into in the future, a large variety of branching objectives that make you constantly have to re-evaluate what’s best for your team.
I would find that a lot more enjoyable than another slayer game type.
Isn’t warzone already basicly that
I’m wondering why warzone dominion hasn’t happened.
From the player/consumer stand-point, ideally Warzone would just go away… 343 would dedicate all MP resources to the traditional Arena module. But this would take away from REQ’s, the money making machine.
Or would it really have to? Dev made BTB maps could become a thing… they could split BTB into more traditional experiences and include BTB: Warzone with REQ stations and the whole 9 yards… Warzone gameplay attributes, selecting weapons while spawning, etc. They’d have to tweak things a bit, but they’re big boys over there at 343… they could handle it…
Halo 6 could have a completely traditional “Arena” multiplayer experience, traditional gametypes, developer BTB maps, more creative Arena maps… however, if REQ’s are that big of a success, they could maybe still be applicable. If it’s all marketed correctly, people will buy into anything. I like all of these promotional Team skin packs for weapons too, if they kept doing stuff like that where it’s just little bits of cool content that can rake in support/a few dollars here and there, so that 343 can continue to support the game/community post-launch, that’s a winning strategy IMO.
They just need to get away from all of the excess armor/recycled content, things that really do not enhance the player experience beyond a certain point… dedidicate that time, money, and man-power into creating original MP maps. The priorities need to be in line…
I think if there was Warzone Slayer, or Warzone CTF (Which 343 has spoken of and was assumed to be in Monitor’s Bounty but was not actually included), it would work well. If they add AI’s on the outskirts, it would also be fun. If bosses were added, they should have no real use except be placed in choke points or for WZCTF, they spawn in the places that are the quickest route’s from the two home bases. In WZS, the score to win should be 750, with regular bosses worth 15 points, Legendary bosses 30 points, and mythic 50 points; And only one mythic boss shall spawn, once the team loosing hits 325 points.
Warzone CTF would equal more farming IMO if the 12-player fireteams comes back, and even 6-player fireteams would be bad.

So you’d let the small chance of farming get in the way of adding more objectives to the game?

I’m sure 343 will think of something to prevent farming should warzone CTF become a thing.
Honestly, though, anything to keep bosses out of warzone would be a plus for me.
I think Gamecheat13 went through some files and they included a load of audio for various game modes including a REQ Slayer and a Warzone CTF. So, patience…

A modder breaking into files doesn’t really show that 343 will actually implement that stuff.

They’ve added virtually everything else he found. I doubt they would go to the point of hiring actors for voice acting unless they were dead set on adding these game modes and they were past the decision to include the concept?
