I wish I could change the sensitivity by half, 3 is rather good but I still overaim and 2 is too sluggish, 2.5 would probably be my sweet spot.

It's such an obvious oversight... every damn FPS does this. God shitty warzone is even shittier with having to hunt for your party...
Obvious oversight pretty much sums up this game. 343 may be talented but they seem seriously out of touch with like everything

I mean i love everything else about this game... but... Warzone.... ugh they wasted so much fucking energy on what could have been spent making another 6 or so Arena maps or straight BTB.

Disagree strongly. Best Halo multi since 2, easily.
Warzone isn't a control mode. Base control is useful for 2 things: keeps the enemy away from the core, and allows spawning close to bosses. The majority of your points in any given game are going to come from hunting the AI bosses.

I'm on 5 now, bumped down from 7. Wish there were sliders though.

I'm really enjoying it too but I am surprised how alone you can feel even with the large player count. Parts of the maps seem to get little use.
Anyone want to trade me a wraith for a mongoose?
If you don't kill the bosses you'll never be at the top of the leader boards.
The map rotation in Warzone doesn't even make sense. There are only three maps but I've played Stormbreak 20 times ACR 15 but Apex only 8. Now I wouldn't care if Stormbreak wasn't by far the worst.

How can you tell? You rank isn't visible in the lobby, which is a shame btw. You can't show off your rank.
Map rotation in general is VERY VERY poor. I have played shit ton of Arena Slayer and SWAT. I am being put on the same map over and over and I don't even leave the lobby.
Have they acknowledged the issue?
You can after the game ends.

I hardly use my XboxOne, how does the recording work? Is it only 30 second clips?
I sucked my first couple of nights of Halo mp getting used to the sensitivity. I went on a crazy run last night where I couldn't do anything wrong and wanted video proof. I get a 30 second clip that includes my death. =(

I think I've heard every Warzone map called out as the clear worst at this point XD

god how id love to be in a warzone game where it's not 500+ points lopsided... either way. Seriously i cant remember being in a decent match.

I probably missed that.
With Xbox Record and Double Tap Home + X will record last 30sec.
If you want more than that, you have to go to recording app to start recording.

I've had 1 great Warzone battle, 2 lame ones, and 1 good one. I think it just matters how much you know the game, maps, and the team you are with.

Hey man to each his/her own!
I can completely see how some would like it a lot more than i do.I just personally would have loved more of the traditional Halo multiplayer experience. Not enough maps or modes at launch (i know theyll come soon enough)
I really feel that a large portion will leave Warzone as soon as BTB arrives. I know for sure i will lol.

We've been rolling 10-12 player fireteams fairly often. It's so much fun with a big group.
What's your GT? I'll inv you to jump in with us sometime.
This is a joke right

If you have a party of even 4-6 player going into Warzone, it will make day/night difference. You really need communication to bring people with you to take down big bosses rather than going alone. With no strategy and communication from 1 team, other team will just DESTROY the shit out of you. I have ran it to the same situation many time. All my team mates will spawn fucking big vehicle at once. I did not enjoy Warzone solo at all. Which isn't a bad thing, I respect 343 for designing something that requires communication.

I don't play Arena so why would I want them to waste resources.

I just can't see it...(unless), it doesn't play anything like any of the halo's 1 , 2 or 3. For people that like running around and random encounters then I can see why one would like it. Old halo fans that like choke points and power weapon rushes, map control.. can't see why they would like it.
as for the gy talking about the magnum. I actauly do as good or better with it than I do any weapon. One game I had about 5 perfects with just this gun alone. Back to back double perfects etc

Yes lol. "I don't like or play X, so 343 should get rid of it."
I'm an old halo fan and I highly enjoy it.
This game plays pretty close Halo 1-3. Map control is crucial, power weapons can turn the tide of a match etc.

If you enjoy the core mechanics of the game mode yes... if you do not like me it still makes it boring lol.
I understand what youre saying but i'm more of a traditional Halo person... give me arenas and BTB.
Because Arena contains all the good players. If it was just Warzone they would all be playing that and Warzone would be less fun
I agree, I never played LAN for CE, but played all other Halo, a lot, (come on my name inst a coincidence), and the 60 FPS plus the reduced aim assist makes the game more rewarding, from Halo reach to Halo 4 I felt that kills with the main rifle were a gift with that strong Aim assist and bullet magnetism.
Not only that I was the first one in the No-sprint camp, but somehow, sprint here feels not as intrusive like in Halo reach or Halo 4, I think that the sprint here is at a lower speed than previous game, and You really dont need to be sprinting in the game, that mechanic of the shield not regenerating while sprinting helps out a lot as well.
Maps are Ok, they are not the best maps Halo have seen, but they are not the worst release lineup Halo have seen.
One thing that I really like is the inclusion of REQ packs, I like opening to see what they have is like opening a gift, but, hey 343, STOP GIVING ME NEEDLERS!!!!
My issues (some of them are just playlist related):
-No playlist with BR start, this is important, I think the game speed is reduced with the currect default.
-No BTB, or any other social playlist, I just want to connect one day by myself, have some fun, and not try hard so I dont loose rank.
-Spartan tackle, I just hate it, is annoying, it just remind me of the Titan dash from Destiny, it only promotes players running around to try to get a kill like this instead of just shooting, a couple of times I got killed because one of my squad member decided to try to go for this instead of just helping me shoot the opponent.
-I miss the old Rocket launcher design, it was unique in its own, now RL looks generic.
-Im not too crazy about the red and blue colors of Spartans.
And like I said in my previous post there'll be those who disagree with me--though I'm sure there'll be countless longtime halo fans who won't
we'll just have to wait and see which remains the more popular opinion, in mine it's the worst.Hey man to each his/her own!

I always hated BTB. It felt like it should be a competitive mode, but everyone else was always just bullshitting around...
I love Warzone because it feels like a place to designed for bullshit.
I hope that the co-existence of both means that those who do go to BTB go there to take it seriously... Then I'd have something to do depending on my mood. I can see my self enjoying 4v4, BTB, AND Warzone.
And this is coming from someone who's been with Halo since day 1.

Halo 5 doesn't have this? And if you just run around in arena you're going to get reqt.

Right?! lol Maybe it's the Battlefield fans or something? I'd play battlefield if i wanted the large scale battles done right. It feels half baked as it is right now. Large maps.... 3 capture points... time spawned AI bosses you can farm. There is potential there but it's not anywhere near fun for me personally as it currently is. Bleh
Not a Jellyfish
but I am a sheep
They really need to just get rid of the radar entirely or expand its size for larger maps/game modes like Warzone and the eventual BTB.
Josh on Twitter said go Gold. Others have said they're trying to get the low stuff out of the way by hitting silvers first. By my reckoning I think the former strategy is optimal.
Go with silver until you get the certifications you want, then go gold.
And like I said in my previous post there'll be those who disagree with me--though I'm sure there'll be countless longtime halo fans who won't
If you have read the thread you will notice you are in the minority. The best Halo since CE, imo.
No worries. I didn't know it either, until yesterday. It feels like 343i is trying to "hide" those stats. Why else do they want me to check my overall stats and medals on Waypoint?
I really liked the Halo 3 post game screen. Had MVP player and top medals screen + the carnage screen. It also had a pretty good UI, so you could quickly check somebodies File Share before the game starts. In this game you don't even see the player names. All you see is 8 Emblems. :/

Adding in sprint, different style maps an the hundreds of small other changes pushes it way away from halo though. Anyways, I will just hope 343 can try a true halo in the design points that matter and that's all I can do.
Halo reach is much closer to the design of halo than 4 or 5 , even by a large margin honestly. I had been on quite a few forums and it seems that gaf is actually way more accepting of the game than most other places. Just reading around was all I was doing though, not trying to spread hate just to hate.

Ok so someone on the enemy team in Warzone gets a lucky random vehicle card and it's a tank 3 minutes into the match. I run up attempting to board him and for some reason he gets out, maybe thinking he can kill me while I'm boarding him. Too bad for him I hadn't boarded him yet and I just get into his tank and kill him. Then go on a 29 kill streak in his tank fucking up his team. Halo is beautiful.

Riiiiiight.
Anyway, Reach was the beginning of the end of classic Halo. Armor abilities were a plague, and much more antiethical to what makes Halo, Halo than anything in 5.
Anybody feel like this would be a good change to Warzone bosses?

Still gives the same outcome, fighting off enemies and rushing to kill it first but it's much more fair w/o all the frustrating RNG.
