Being able to spawn in the base of your choosing or on a teammate would be fantastic. Or removing the long timers and perhaps rebalancing the difficulty would also be much better. But I agree I think the difficulty would be plenty fine without the long timers.
Rofl sorry. I put it in quotes. I'm on my phone so I can't even tell.

I'm game
Wraith Ultra continues to be GOAT vehicle for WZ FF.
Seems like just because of the positioning required the interior mythic bosses are far and away the hardest, followed by the ones that spawn on the beach on Apex 7 (since there is absolutely no good cover.)
I have played at least 10 games to completion, plus one or two disconnects, and won... 3 times. Seems about right, the percentage will boost once people figure out the bosses and such more effectively.

how does the game determine who the top player is? like 3 times today alone someone with less points, less mythic kills and less boss kills somehow gets top player over me

I'd feel better about burning REQs if using a REQ made it more likely to get another one of the same type. Likewise, selling a REQ card should make those particular drops less likely.
But as it is, I only have a few cards for the good power weapons and attack vehicles so I never want to use them since I have no idea how long it'll be before I see another one.
I'm also hesitant to use the rarer cards because I've died in quite a few cheap ways already - where enemies have literally spawned in all around me.

Nice. She still have all her fingers? I heard those pieces were sharp.Mrs Ade was bored as I was hogging the TV playing Firefight, so she made my horrifically difficult LE Metal Earth Guardian thing:
Surprisingly yes, took her best part of two evenings and a lot of swearing!

I knew the update went live but wasn't able to keep up with the thread. I checked once and saw the good news that the Spartan Company members showed online now (though I'm not seeing anyone online). I had the update downloading overnight and just hopped on. Free gold packs for playing Firefight? New Daily Login REQ packs? Fantastic stuff. About to try my first FF game. I'm can't wait to see what the increased difficulty over the beta is like.
EDIT: SC members now show online. Just took a bit for it to work on my side. Played FF on the new map, lost in fourth round to the four Mantis enemies. I was on a vanilla ghost and helped kill two of them but the one that spawns on the second floor inside the armory wrecked me. It definitely feels harder to me. Glad to have WZ FF back! I felt like I didn't play it as much as I should have during the beta, despite getting in a good amount of games.

If anyone wants to play some Firefight, just join my fireteam or drop me a party invite.
I think I'm gonna build that on the flight to Maui next month. That, or one of the other handful of unbuilt Metal Earth models I get as party favors. The Millennium Falcon, or Kylo Ren's dropship? Who knows!

So is Molten only in Slayer playlist? Assuming they kept Team Arena HCS.

Damn, that's a great update! Played for four hours, and I've not even seen half of the new content.
The wasp is already one of my favorite Halo vehicles, 343 did a damn good job on it. Only used it in Firefight, but I can't wait to try it out in Warzone.
Firefight is soooooooo good, by the way! The map/objective variety is really good for now! Played ten matches in Arena (Team Slayer), and I've not seen Molten once, though.

I think Arena rank should be given after 5 games completion. 10 is too long. That way you'll be placed with proper skilled players asap.

Promethean spawn numbers need to be toned way the fuck down. Covenant objectives are just right, but Prometheans? Dozens of Crawlers, lots of extremely accurate Soldiers, Soldier Commandos with Splinter Turrets, and then Knights. Knights are tanky as hell, and later rounds are nonstop Battlewagons that take around 3 tank shells to down. It's absolutely ridiculous. Deacon Pipap would be a snap on Round 5 if it weren't for the fact that he's backed by several Knights and Battlewagons.
And "Defend" objectives are still ludicrously difficult. The number of enemies that spawn in those rounds are extremely difficult to keep in check, and they always guard the entrances to the objects of Defense, meaning there's usually a Soldier or two with a Splinter Turret, a handful of Crawlers, and at least one Knight waiting to kick your ass back to the spawn screen.

I should note that when fighting one of those Grunt mech things on jumped down there and survived, but we were able to kill it eventually. It was really confusing figuring out where it was at first though.

You're still being matched by skill anyway, you just can't see it yet. Maybe that'd be a concern if you had never played a game in a given playlist, but I think it's pretty much proven that your invisible MMR carries over between seasons even though your visible rank is reset.

So weird... no game sound as soon as I partied up. Not sure what that's about, tbh.

Wasp is a game changer in vanilla warzone, had a team spawn 4 of them together, just wrecked us.
There is no use spawning one I'm retaliation unless others do the same, and without teamwork that won't happen.
And as its low req is required you don't have the option to spawn a splaser, hydra etc to take them out... BR won't do the job.
