Really, really, really liking firefight.
Its actually made me play other gametypes MORE.
The casual kinda not hyper competitive nature makes jumping into arena for a round or two and getting stomped less frustrating

We all feel your pain and have echoed some attention to this. more so an option or a lone wolves type of playlist.
T_T .. we all haz cry.
Doubt any of them will touch Arena
Probably a reason why they are handing out REQs left and right when playing firefight.There is! Had a round yesterday where it was only grunts. Most of them had fuel rods. Felt like there was hundreds of them.
Also had another round where it was pure grunts, grunts in ghosts, and I think wraiths and the grunt mech
Seems like Temple variants are tougher and faster, but they don't have the oomph of the Ultra bolts.

Really?? Awesome. I really like this mode. I was going to play some score attack but never got around to it last night.

How are the randoms so fucking bad for firefight? Just lost 2 back to back matches because no one besides me was protecting the objectives.

Pretty sure defend means stand outside and shoot in with a BR, right?
I forgot about jump pads and had an amazing time in a scorpion
Fortunately we won. I'm up to 7 wins now and have 11 gold packs. Will be a nice boost when I clear silvers.

The day were the average random Plays the Objective, even in PvE modes, will never come. Never.

I'm glad the upped the difficulty for Firefight. There's a really good mix of objectives and enemy types too to keep it interesting. My only dislike is that the difficulty spike in the final round sometimes feels like you have to use vehicles to complete it were I would like to have the option to do it by hand too. I can see this being a big drain on req cards.
I get lucky every once in a while, but it only seems to be CTF games. Strongholds always feels like players never know that holding 2 points is better than holding 3 90% of the time.

Somehow we made it through Round 3 with the Hunters and Knights on Apex. I guess we got to the point where 3 of us could spawn Wraiths all at once. Then later Round 5 was kill 3 bosses and the first one was Grunt Mech surrounded by I shit you not like 20 IC knights. His ultracombine attack blew up several of our vehicles since they couldn't get a shot on him from anywhere that you can duck into cover from. We got him down to about half HP.
Not sure how they expect you to beat that and then 2 more bosses. I mean like maybe if the entire team had Selene's Lance or something? I just don't see it EVER happening with randoms. I'm going to have to keep my eyes peeled for videos of the feat on Youtube.

That feel when we killed the third Warden at the back of base, but a second too late

The upper part of the newer map on Firefight with 2 wardens on round 3 is fucking amazing. That area is so fun to fight them in and forces you to on-foot encounters.
But really best set up so far
Ghosts for ground control and defense
Plasma caster for bosses
Tanks for final round

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
The soldiers who pilot the Mantis are shy.
I regret ever using that term since half the time they are totally different maps with some shared aesthetics. Even that isn't really touching on the 100% "new" effort that goes into designing and building them.
However, the term, "Cousin Map" isn't as bass-droppy.

Almost got that on urban but we only managed to finish off one of the wardens (mostly due to my team opting not to clear the banshees and getting their vehicles blown up)nice, just JiP in a match on round 5 with the two wardens and all my teammates hammering them with tanks, banshees, mantis, etc. won in about 60 seconds of play time
I'm hoping for more such opportunities because I'm burning through my vehicles and won't be able to help much on that end of things. I don't really have high level weapon REQs because the really legit ones are in golds. Just a few more wins to go.

While we were fighting a plethora of camo Jackals, we were joking that must be how you were able to put the most enemies on screen for a Halo game. Since they were camouflaged they didn't need to be rendered.
Is Tyrant technically the Coliseum remix? I've always wondered this and never saw an answer.
It is really annoying how often people write off H5's map count because they're "just remixes".
Sharing a few assets does not make two maps the same.
Calling the assault variants in Warzone new maps is reaching a bit for the most part though...

I have to say, i like firefight. Ive been getting a ton of packs with is great. But man, round 4-5 seem impossible if you dont use vehicles.

I don't know, the binary rifles do a world of hurt against the Warden. You certainly need REQs though.
I think that's part of the problem, weapons need to be stronger against enemies, even the higher weapon read don't work well on those round.... Unless it's a plasma caster

The Talon of the Lost needler will shred a Warden. Even more so if you coordinate with teammates and call them in simultaneously.

I still have a few load out weapons to unlock. Mainly DMR ones. Still don't have the extended mags Magnum.

There it is boyzzz... Clearing Round 5 with Needlers. LETS DO THIS!!!!!!!
If I had any critiques, it would be that round 5 should be difficult not becuase of the number of tough bosses, but the sheer number of supporting forces the boss has.
Fewer bullet sponges to encourage bringing in more fire power, more intelligent and well equipped AI that encourage team work and coordinated attacks as infantry AND in vehicles.

Are commendations going to keep giving regular silver and gold packs or is that a bug?
That is just what they are giving for the commendations. Several of the Firefight related commendations are gold packs every level up. Then you have the one with wins that gives 1/3/5. I think it is a fantastic idea to dump loads of REQs onto people's laps while it is free and there is a big content update. Hopefully pop levels grow from this.

Burn those REQs, lol. Its worth it for gold packs. I also make sure the team is looking decent before dumping any real big vehicles out there.

The worst is when you do and then only one other teammate does and you get the boss down to a sliver of health. I try to just think it is a bunch of noobs on free play days who have no REQs.
