Welp. I was planning on getting a few of the HCS packs. But $10 each? Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

It's a very good one but a level 6 req dmr would have been better, IMO. Better chance of getting it sooner, especially, if you're playing Warzone assault.

30 second respawn against the Grunt Mech is super hard

Maybe a little less IC knights on the Apex round 3 goal to kill the hunters. Like... 3/4 less. Which I guess would mean just not respawning them, or maybe at least make them respawn as scattershots, not all IC.
I mean even if you spawned nice REQs (which nobody has points for), you'd run out of ammo trying to kill them all as they just keep fucking respawning. And there isn't enough time to run back and get ammo, and there is no way in hell you're picking up any of their ICs while surrounded by 8 of them, so you have to get into the base, but to get into the base you have to run in front of all of them and all of the hunters completely exposed, so that's not happening. So you think alright maybe some vehicles, but the vehicles have a lot of trouble dodging IC fire from 8 knights and homing fire from 4 hunters all at once.
There just isn't enough time, man. Even if miraculously no one died from all the one-shotting IC fire.

Yeah, a lot of people are pissed/confused at this decision. It's a straight up terrible pricing scheme. I'm not gonna pay more than 50% of what I paid for the game just for a few emblems and skins.
Like, I want to support the Halo eSports scene and make sure Tashi has work to do, but 343 is making it pretty difficult.

Gotta milk those optic fans I guess
seems like the cut the team gets is pretty big and it also goes towards the next HWC( though this is only said by Mikwen so far)
So I guess the teams get like 40% if it is that healthy, and MS wanted to still also get a big number.
I mean I get why people are pissed, but normally you also only root for one team and spend 10$ .. though I also wanted all 3... now I only have the CLG skin pack

MS has zero comprehension of this principle for DLC.
*Buy Forza 6 for $60 and it has 450 cars and all the tracks and modes*
MS: "Would you like to buy 30 more cars and no new tracks or modes for $30?"
Like, if you thought the game was a good value by having so much content int he base game, why would you go out of your way to reverse that value by paying so much for so little?

I can't start any game because it boots me at the beginning of firefight, anyone else with the same problems?

Not really. This build is much more stable to me
This and the final spawn timer is WAY too much

Firefight is great
3 things
3 things
- The 3 Wardens on round 5 at the back of an impenetrable base is insanely dumb. Can't do shit
- The Spawn time on round 5 is too long
- The Spawn locations are bad. It can take like 30 seconds to get to the action without a vehicles on round 5 from death including respawn.

Well, I don't have a favorite team per se. I was planning on getting them partly because I liked the look of a couple teams and, you know, completionist bs.
And like you said, you planned on supporting multiple teams, but now only one gets your support because of the crazy pricing.

yeah, it's crazy especially now that you can get the whole game for $30. I was expecting 5ish. :/
Agreed, and defending the armory on round one is TERRIBLE. What the hell were they thinking?
so much xp/rp/silver and gold packs in firefight!
also, bought the EG HCS skin pack. pretty fucking pricey, but i want to continue to support h5 and the pros. got the red AR and blue BR HCS skins too. I'll probably buy the CLG pack eventually too, then wait for the next team offerings.

Randoms who aren't using their REQs are dragging their teams down. It's really freaking irritating.
Also, to that guy who drove my guass hog into the Mythic Warden expecting an easy kill while he had 1/5th of his health left, congratulations, you single-handedly cost us the win.
Woop woop.
Anyway, with the bad stuff out of the way, WZF is really great. It's got a few kinks that need to be ironed out (spawn times are a bit too long on round 5, enemy damage output is ludicrous), but overall it's a great mode and a lot of fun.

"I'll just play one game of FF before bed to see what's it's like". 5 games later and yeah this mode has pull for me, one of the better halo PvE experiences if only because it appears to be hard as nails. I and the randoms I played with didn't once complete all 5 rounds. That awkward moment when there's only 25 seconds left of the game and you're on a 30 second respawn...
Also not sure if it's configured correctly, I received two golds packs and a silver pack after about the third game, no idea why, I thought one had to actually win a game to receive a gold pack? Not complaining mind.

I'm still considering if that's one of those ideas that sounds good in your head but should never be implemented, or if it's secretly a great time to put the controller down and refresh GAF, hoping to read the next meltdown.

Sorry
Don't sweat it. Just gotta make sure to pop them every once in a while. We're all fresh as far as this incarnation of the mode goes. The meta is obviously very new, but if one thing is clear, it's that loadout weapons don't do SHIT to bosses.
The exception is the Knight bosses (even Legendary ones). Shoot off their armored shoulders, and smack 'em in the back with a bayonet. Bam, one less Knight boss.
WZF commendations reward REQ packs instead of emblem or generic reward packs.

I just didn't have REQs. I'm starting to save them lol

Anyone else dealing with this bullshit "pack failed to load" or whatever it says? I go to open a silver pack and after about 10 seconds this comes up, and my pack/points vanish. How does this system get progressively worse with each update?

Round 2 on Urban. Protect the forerunner core. Most people are lucky to have a BR yet,
fighting hordes of Knights and soldiers with splinter turrets. Yeah, that went well.
