With the release of warzone firefight I was exited to finally have a pve mode in halo again. After a long break I put halo 5 back in so I can start playing it again. Now listen I never really hated the prometheans before, I like the concept of them there just executed poorly.
Covenant > Prometheans
Seriously the covenant are so much funnier to fight and there bosses aren’t completely Bull-yoink-, there decent in terms of fighting and are not that hard, they die reasonably fast. But the prometheans? nope, the soldier are bullet sponges they take forever to die and on top of that there are so many of them in one spot you get overwhelmed instantly even if you have 2 or 3 people with you. I don’t mind the amount of enemies spawning (because good for getting your level up) they just need to die a little quicker is all that’s needed.
Also another thing, some promethean bosses have the most horrible spawn areas for there bosses. Like the 2 wardens and a mythic warden in the freaking main base in the back. Really just why? how is that even fair? no matter what me and others try, we can’t just do it. Also on a lot of occasions when I’m on one of the new maps, when the mantises spawn on the map (which are not that bad to fight) one spawns INSIDE OF THE FORTRESS!! You can’t do it with any of your vehicles because on how small the second floor windows are, if you try to go inside it’s either, A: the mantis kills you after being hit a couple times (or instantly) and wasting a req or B: Enemies spawn on a constants basic and you risk getting overwelm before you can get upstairs to kill the freaking boss and have the A.I shoot you in the back.
There needs to be some changes, every time I see “prometheans” in the title I’m just like “ugh just let me fight the covenant entire time”.
you are a good man
I already hated them beforehand lol, the lack of internal cool down and health on the soldier is stupid, took me a whole br clip to kill a normal soldier
My issue with prometheans is that they teleport everywhere. Hit a soldier once, he teleports behind me and I get one-shotted by his scattershot, plus they can spawn in the base you are defending…WHY? I’m defending the garage and in pop 3 knights right in front of me.
What I have found is that they die faster to their own weapons. I could waste all my BR rounds to just bring a Soldier to it’s weak point, or… or I could use the promethean pistol and kill them in only a few bursts.
Really it’s annoying that Soldiers are harder to take down then Knights. Few BR rounds in their arm sockets and then they pretty much give up all their weak points.
Meanwhile… one charge plasma pistol takes an elites shields and then Pow! One sidearm round headshot finishes them.
Covenant are much easier to work through.
I like the Covenant because they at least have character and personalities. The Prometheans are just robotic bullet sponges.
I am right there with you, I hate those Tin Cans… Bullet sponges is what they are… It sucks that a standard soldier takes so long to take down that he can kill you 3 times before you get his armor off, while with an elite, you are pretty evenly matched… And there are more Soldiers than elites in wave, which is bull.

I agree this issue needs to be address.

I wish we didn’t need “there weapons to kill them” faster, make other guns lose there value while fighting them. If its not that way with the covenant? then why is it like that with the prometheans? 343i logic
Prometheans are just boring to fight.
None of them are fun, and they lack the distinct personality each of the covenant species has.
They’re all just orange dudes.
