Warzone Assault doesn't allow you to search with more than 6 people, unless I was lied to. I was for the Achilles.

and there it is
hopefully this means a solo/duo queue is coming to team arena.
also, any reason why stasis is the only new map in HCS? The rocky one (Tyrant?) seems ok for competitive play? It's symmetrical and shit. I get the one stasis is built on (can't remember the name) because it has the pillars that move (hopefully the map team stops that garbage). Haven't played the newest lava map yet, however
Some kid in that thread saying that farming is worse in normal Warzone than Warzone Assault lol maybe its on a bigger scale but you need a lot more set up in normal WZ to do it. WA is pretty much been set up for farming from the beginning. Good change 343
Pros didn't really like Assault and Tyrant was really only good for CTF and Assault. Stasis was added and since the pros heard that the Pro Team helped design Stasis, naturally they chose that one. I think Tyrant is better but the middle area is kinda small. Plus I didn't like the floating rock platforms to each base.

God dammit, that might've been the most frustrating match of Warzone I've ever played. Sorry if I blew out any of your headsets. I'm gonna cool down for a bit; I don't intend to get that angry again.
I don't believe so.
I don't believe so.
Well yeah I hate those too. IDK why 343 listens to the pros on some aspects but not others.

I think a lot of ny problems with warzone firefight just stem from the fact the prometheans just aren't fun to fight at all, half the time I'm shooting a solider you have no visual feedback on what you're even doing to it. At least knights in 4 had a visible shield. Plus they upped the amount of teleporting which was one of the things i disliked the most about the prometheans.
Also some of the objectives tend to be annoying in that "hey defend this thing! Oh wait its on the other side of the map and the enemies have it down by 25% already"

Just a couple games ago I had 4 soldiers teleport out of a building to surround me and melee me to death. It was really odd behavior because usually they stay inside buildings and also total bullshit because there is absolutely nothing you can do to save yourself in that situation.
Also a knight decided to tell me what's up lol

It's a pretty great change, if you ask me. I hope they keep it.

Good games tonight!
Something something team matching
But seriously, it's just one of those games where I was the right kind of zen tired, where I just didn't really miss many shots. 5 hat tricks was pretty cooool
The most nefarious hobbit of them all.

Clutch kill on the Mythic Warden in a triple-Warden base.
The go-to weapons for that encounter seem to be The Answer, HEDP turrets, Typhon, and as many damage boosters as you can acquire. If you bring a vehicle with you, use it to clear out the initial Promethean waves, and bail out afterwards. It sucks, but until that encounter is reworked (if ever), Scorpions simply aren't going to work out.
Also, weird aside: Soldier Enforcer bosses drop Dying Stars marked as "Light Rifle".

Well shit.
Just started a Firefight match, got dropped in just in time to see the Forerunner core get destroyed. Hadn't even spawned yet. :lol
Speaking of which, I wouldn't mind if they just cut that one altogether. There's just too many enemy spawns to make that one even remotely fun.
EDIT: Well dang.
Now to never use it.

This match was painful.
My team barely won this match because we had only one base for almost the entire match plus I was kinda crippled by the req system not working in the match so I was stuck with my basic pistol and AR combo the whole match. I did pick up battle rifles and other weapons off the ground at time and did got a lot of kills when I did this but I also died a lot. The enemy team was for some odd reason struggling to take out the mythic grunt mech at the end while we took down one of the standard bosses while they were struggling to take down the grunt mech and we managed to pull ahead in the last minute or so of the match.I also managed to kill Jul with my pistol.Also about half of my team left close to the end of the match.

I don;t want to face teams with members that have a 98% or 99% win rate or a win rate that is somewhere near that because these matches usually end with my team being destroyed or being farmed for like 10 minutes straight.
Also, wow at the people complaining about the change.At least this change will limit the ampunt of wasps that fly in the sky to spawn trap people in warzone assault matches early in the match.

It feels refreshing for nothing having a garage or fortress as mid base for a war zone map. So good. Attack on Sanctum could be the best Warzone map.

haha i laughed. the timing and placement of a lot of the spawns in firefight are just not fair lol.
Absolutely loving Warzone Firefight. Really galvanised Halo for me tbh.
My one qualm is round 3 Phaeton squads. No party I've been in has managed to beat them yet! Nerf pls Frankle.
Also, I guess while we're on it, it'd be great if the final round countdown didn't start til the enemies had spawned.

I hate the Firefight.
Last round: kill 4 Phateon, and 4 Hunter. Dafuq? (or kill 4 Warden...)

I'd imagine if you've gotten over 75% wins you're on a team. I wanna play against the 50/50 crowd. lol
I wish they would all the to spawn inside. I'd prefer to guard the entrances as the waves try to break in.
Is it by design that I can take down 80% of a boss's health and because I left to reload and get some ammo and someone else finished it off, I get zero credit?
Loving Firefight so far but in a mode that is so difficult, having the work I do as part of the team go completely unrecognized in the game is very disheartening.
