I really hope it's just not possible
If I worked at 343 I would make it impossible
Please don't bring it back
Doooooo eeeetttt.
I was gonna say I'd do it if no one else wants to but go for it. I can always try and help with making something pretty to put in it.
Yeah. I mean, I really want to like the atmosphere of Warzone, but it's like every other game something happens that just infuriates me.
I'd hop in arena, but with every playlist being ranked there's no real way to just chill out and play a few matches.
Y'know what'd be cool? A ranked/social split.

Next week breh
I hope all levels of REQ for the weapons will be available in Forge.
I also want some of those legendaries back in Slayer. I loved how it was in the beta on truth. What was sicknessssss.
Of course, balancing it would be the hard part since they are pretty OP.
Doesn't Vorpal Talon have a unique model as well? Could've sworn it was a bit different geometry wise in addition to glowing orange. I think that one could be nice in customs, it's like a regular sword mostly but gives an extra thrust charge. Not as OP as Prophets Bane would be.
I agree it would be really nice to see some of the unique variants outside of Warzone. Could provide some interesting variety.

I wonder how many social playlists they'll add.

Right, so instead of just how the map plays of something positive, it would be me saying.
"Ah shit, its the Rig and this week the power weapon is AD VICTORIUM. Who dying toniiiiighht" *while shimmying across the floor ending with a spin
or
"Ah man, its regret where the power weapon is talon of the lost" as i feel sad and blue
orrrrrr
"oh yeah! its truth and the power weapon is heart seeker." and i have no reaction across my face.
Looking at the reqs for power weapons we only have 3 mythic.. i swear i thought there were more.

I wonder if you could make a 1-flag match where every cap changes the layout, like parts of a building explodng and dropping away making each next cap harder to get past the enemy team.

seems like the scripting is basically switches right?
as long as one had something with scores. Like When score = 1 do this.
But it might be limited to things like when "thing is activated/tocuhed" do this.
guess we'll find out

Weird...lol. I'm not a big fan of elimination type games.
Elimination and Gun game are the only things I ever liked about CS. I'm down with them being in Halo.
This is a great idea and I really hope stuff like this is possible. very excited for Forge this time around. I tried my hand at creating a map in 4 but never got past the initial stages of laying out the map. I think I will give it another go because the refined controls and the freedom it seems to bring make building a map sound pretty fun.

This is right up my alley... def excited for this!!!

If scripting allows events to trigger on captures or goal scores (place item into area) then I am going to have a field day with some ideas in my head.
The biggest thing me and a friend made was a bomb run where you started on the shore and had to storm a giant cruiser boat with interior and shit, was on the reach engine but the nature of forge is that you need friends to play it or it's never used
Cool I guess...
But I long for the day when we get a playlist where killing people isn't the primary objective.
I wanted to try Breakout on regular maps in a custom game so I'm really happy they've done this, will give it a go later!

thats what makes it so much more frustrating.
they obviously are open to experimenting with their current gametypes. taken just at face value, i LOVE they are trying this this weekend. The more weird ideas the better.
then they obviously know how much the community loves to experiment with gametypes as well, look at the new forge.
so......WHY ARENT THEIR MORE GAMETYPES WE CAN MESS WITH
TheCanisDirus
Member
Agreed on all fronts. Pumped for this cool new idea... but also gimmie dem standard gametypes! I'm in desperate need for assault and oddball.
tbh though if they introduced a weekend/trials of osiris type mode where the more wins you got the more req rewards you would get that'd be kinda cool lol

It's almost as if changing damage dynamics was stupid and unnecessary!
I still hate round-based gametypes anyway, but I found it atrocious they thought it was appropriate to completely change the health/damage balance, so you have no idea what your shield bar is telling you for the first few games.
Eh? People were hoping for the best but I don't think anyone here realistically expected the new (old) game types in this update.
January hopefully tho and at least we know for sure they are working on them.

i know a lot of people like me didnt have high expectations but figured it would launch forge with like.........one new gametype

I like Breakout, so I'll give it a try
But damn, seeing Infection or Assualt come up the next time Weekend Playlists open up would be a good feeling
Ok then.
But there's more than just making a game type and throwing them in.
They need announcer audio, game type specific medals, etc.
Then they'll probably play test the new modes on all the maps to find what works best. That stuff is not happening in such a small time frame especially when they were putting the final touches on features like BTB and forge.
Plus ya know. They already told us everything coming in the update. They aren't just gonna go "oh yea surprise! Game types!" ... They are gonna make a big deal out of it when they do come.

On my elite, you can charge up weapons with hair triggers enabled, but you have to hold down really hard. At first I had trouble doing it without shooting at least once without charging, but you get used to the pressure change.

It's honestly mind blowing... How many years has this been in development... how was it not part of the plan to launch with the gametypes that all the previous Halos have? Including 343i's last one!
Damn, i appreciate that they're "working on it" but more and more this makes me feel like the whole Warzone/Req thing took so much of their time that it severely cut into the dev time of the standard Arena maps and modes.
Bummer indeed.

Would people complain if they repurpose Warzone maps to BTB maps?

It does kinda feel that way. I am glad that they are adding more stuff though and not just saying "here ya go have fun with WZ".
TheCanisDirus

Maybe... they might be able to section them into objectively asymmetrical and interesting maps? As they are they're far too large and have way too much open spaces to work well in normal BTB regardless of gametype (save for maybe rocket hogs... god theres another fun one)

Hopefully this mode will replace Breakout in Team Arena if it is good, and normal Breakout stays in its own playlist.
Destiny pvp is absolute garbage a lot of the time. But trials is God-tier. This is a great change

Ugh seriously? We don't need two versions of the Breakout gametype already...
Diablohead

I like breakout but not when it's part of team arena, which in turns stops me playing team arena which is like the only way to play objective games :/
A new arena breakout mode sounds fun but it's not fixing team arena any time soon.

Just give us invasion along with beloved Elites..
Its a good way to test the mode. They will probably replace old Breakout if people like this version more.
