On one hand, MECHA GRUNT and that Wasp looks cool, but on the other hand is the Wasp really only a 1 seater? We already have two 1 seater aircraft, so I still wish we got the Falcon instead. Still, I am very excited for this!

WHY IS THAT NEW MAP NOT ON THE REQ SHEET?
Just what do they have planned for this update...
It's likely just the exterior portion of the Sanghelios map

Yeah, I'm not digging that either. They seem to have an aversion to having passengers in flying vehicles.

It'll probably play the same as the phaeton.

There should be a version that has no guns on it, but can seat 4 passengers and has heavy armor

So much for the argument that adding Brutes would require too many new assets!
Really looking forward to this update.

I liked the falcon in Reach's mp. I think getting the armor and firepower right on that design should be explored more. Anything that takes more than one person to operate should be a terror.
The Grunt mecha is a giant vehicle, piloted by a Grunt. Adding a whole species would be orders of magnitude more complex.

MechaGrunt
Wasp
Green and lush Warzone map
I like all of these things. Now please do more Arena maps, dev crafted BTB maps and asymmetric gametypes.

I mean wouldn't a Brute skin over an Elite do the trick?
Cortana was all "you dawg, we heard you like Grunts, so we put a Grunt in a Grunt..."
Yeah it's kinda sad they still haven't managed to add more "core" gametypes since Assault.
Can we get a Mechathat throws a bunch of insults to the Spartans around him?Mister Cheif

I'd like to see asymmetric assault and ctf. As far as other missing gametypes go, KOTH and Regicide would be great. The ball games could use some rounding out as well. add Ricochet and Oddball medal support and let us switch up the types of balls for each carrier (skull for Oddball).
No, over a Phaeton goddammit.
I'm starting to have questions about the dev pipeline for this game.
Should we assume that they had NO plans for Firefight, and the Wasp and Goblin where made from scratch to please fans.
were these concepts that had already been modeled, but didn't make launch?
Would they have made it into the game even if Firefight wasn't a thing?

There was a canon fodder where someone asked if we'd ever see a UNSC air vehicle in Halo 5, the answer was a short yes. They had that planned for a while at least.

Feel like I should just pick this up it's so damn cheap now. If I ever get the itch to go back and play H2 or H3.

So Andross?
I really hope in H6 they remove cosmetics from the req pack system.
Make it so you can buy armour with req points/money and add a req pack which only gives you boosts.
There's no real satisfaction in getting a cool piece of armour in this game. I'd much rather have a system like Reach where you can work towards a goal to buy a certain armour piece. Also, not gunna lie but that +10 each time you get a headshot in Reach was really quite satisfying. I'd like to see req points being earned for medals in Warzone in H6.

If you just want a Brute for the sake of having a brute, sure. But the AI behavior, weapons, etc are all so different it wouldn't even be close to the same.

Ah, thanks for clarifying that. I don't know the first thing about game development, so to my untrained eyes it seemed equivalent. Well, here's hoping for Brutes in H6's Warzone!

Awesome. Hope that means we get the update next week too.

I think people are gonna be disappointed when they realize the grunt mech is a boss, and not a vehicle you can pilot yourself.
Unless...you can??

I think we all get its an enemy type. I think it's just so ridiculous it's impossible not to be jazzed about it.
This is really my only complaint for Warzone.
Let the weapons, vehicles, and powerups be RNG.
But players should have more control over the cosmetics they get. There's no joy in getting a visor in a gold pack.
But if you see a specific cosmetic item you like, you should be able to spend RP on it. Some would be tied to commendations of course.
Yep. It's Grunt-sized, no way you'd fit a Spartan into it.

Giant is relative to the grunt of course

A Battle Royale, H1Z1 style map/game type. This would make an amazing playlist, would need some game setting tweaks on 343's end though/
