Financially, it wouldn't be a good move for 343 - they need people playing Warzone.

Why would you stop playing Warzone? You don't stop playing Team Slayer because someone created the Infection gametype no?

Yeah, seems that way. SWAT is a thing, tho, so it's clearly possible, just not visible atm.

And it's pretty clear that the reason they don't allow them in Customs (and eventually Forge) is so that people have to get them through the REQ system. If you can play with Whiplash to your heart's content, why grind out packs for it? Allowing unique models is a good compromise, IMO.

You just handicap the development of the community though. Things like grifball, infection grew out of fan creation. You don't want 343 hand holding everything. Let's things be organic. I'm just saying we could've seen some unique stuff come out of custom gametypes developed if we were given full use of these req's. Maybe next game. I'm still happy, but just saying, it's 'always the next game' where you can really get something you really want.
 
Speaking of Truth, why the hell did they shove a Plasma Caster in the Sword's rightful spawn?

Come on, it's a Midship remake. Sword goes up top. No exceptions.

Every game I've played whether attacking or defending the defending team just holds the top of the spire with ease. Getting someone up top from the attacking team never works in the games I've played because they're at such a disadvantage fighting from the low ground to begin with.

They don't have to stay up there long, just long enough to force a spawn change. Every guy you kill while that dude is on top is going to be spawning over by Armory.

Caster isn't a great weapon for Truth period, honestly. Not enough confined spaces to bounce grenades off of makes the non-charged mode basically useless.

They want people experimenting with cards in Warzone.
 
i wouldn't worry about anything like custom game options just yet. Halo 5 is missing so many basic features and I imagine half of the custom game options didn't ship with the game either. And even if Forge doesn't bring them, 343 could add them later.

IIRC, no REQ weapons in Forge.

I'm okay with that, mostly, but I would like to see any weapon that has a unique model incorporated. Prophet's Bane, SPNKR, etc.

Do we have confirmation of this? The only mention i saw of this was from some random person who said they had interviewed someone at 343
 
Can't wait to see these matches played NOT over lan, lol :P

MechDX said:
Sorry if it has been asked but I just started the game.

When you get these reqs with reskinned weapons do they actually have different attributes or are they just cosmetic? I got a req for a battle rifle with this same skin and it just seems like a regular battle rifle
Click to expand...

mostly yes, some have bigger clips, some fire faster, that plasma pistol on charge creates an explosive area that sucks things in, it's minor but still cool.
 
I feel like no one ever picks up the plasma caster in arena. I've stayed in the high diamonds playing lots of Onyx players and it feels like it just sits on its pad most of the time. Maybe it's better against players with lower awareness. I mostly ignore it I admit. It's audio cues are so damn loud that it's crazy easy to avoid.

Maybe I just need to get gud and give it another chance but I feel like I only die from it once in a blue moon so I can't be the only one.

did it again, they might as well remove the counter as it's pointless.

charge shots are good but you need to be close and hope they don't dodge it, IMO it's better used in Warzone to stop ghosts and warthogs.

The normal grenade shot has a big splash but you'll be 5 shot magnum'd by the time you try to aim and shoot with it.
 
Am I the only one who feels like Warzone Firefight is a missed oppertunity?

Sometimes I just feel like doing some co op, and Halo 5 offers no solution for this outside getting friends together for campiagn. Firefight with Warzone REQ's would be a great way to earn RP
 
Madness said:
Such a stupid oversight. Can you imagine what kind of custom games you could make with the REQ weapons and vehicles? Snow maps using tundra vehicles, gametypes where people are given the special legendary variants of weapons. Imagine their blood gulch map where everyone is starting off with the CE legendary magnum?

Apparently Karl mentioned that you can't even turn off secondary weapons in custom games? So no snipers only etc. Or magnum only starts.

To be fair, they haven't ruled out REQ stuff in Forge, and they've said they're committed to growing Forge beyond its initial release. So while I'd say it's pretty safe to say REQ's won't come to Forge, it's not impossible.
 
I still don't see what the hate about REQs is all about.

Reach: Grind for cosmetic stuff.
Guardians: Grind or pay a little for cosmetic stuff.

The difference is in Warzone there are a few flavors of weapons, but they are regulated by tears. Overall the Pistol and BR stands up well to most of the rare perks.

Lol you can just set the secondary weapon to the same as the first and you only spawn with that one weapon.
 
They'll put REQs in Forge eventually. They're limited to Warzone since it's the primary source of post launch revenue for them now. We'll probably see forgeable REQs in 6-12 months.

Definitely not alone.

What I would like to see (in addition to conventional Firefight) is a Firefight Assault mode, which plays like Warzone Assault but with the attackers being ever-increasing waves of AI.
 
Rofl. Spawned in front if Ghosts. Spawn with a sniper in the open for no reason.

We are ahead the entire game, 3 people quit and for the last 300 points nobody joined. Enemy takes fortress and warden, GGWP I guess.

If I ever spawn with the sniper I always spawn at main base and run back, I get upset spawning in and being teabagged instantly with weapon cards lol

Warzone firefight is my most wanted feature. It would be so much fun if we could play warzone against AI. It would also be a great way to get people using their req cards. I dont want to use them against humans because you never know when you are going to spawn in the open in front of 3 snipers.

The Pro Team actually travelled to England. No US vs EU servers luckily.

Time to watch these UK matches being played on west coast servers

Knowing the game so well I thought the 343 team would be steam rolling all evening, but looks like things are going to be interesting. Great to see some pro games after playing the game these past few weeks.
 
I'd assume firefight would have to be one of these post launch updates. BTB is next Monday and forge is in December. I don't think just a steady stream of new maps would be enough to last until June
