Anyone wishes there was a Warzone Firefight update

A Warzone Map Pack in general would have been nice. As far as I can remember, only Skirmish at Darkstar was the only new map Warzone ever got.

Well maybe not a maps update but it would be good to reallocate some bosses, i mean i know that you can't kill every boss in vehicle but sometimes the knights get inside in the garage with a lot of soldiers who never stop respawning and no matter how many overshields you have, they kill you in a few seconds.

WZ/FF sucked compared to ODST & Reach Firefight; the H5 Prometheans are all horribly un-fun to fight and stupidly annoying/ OP, regardless of difficulty. I realize most of it was by design, which makes it all even worse.

This sums up the issues with WZFF so well. Prometheans are a perfect example of how not to design enemies. Bullet sponges that teleport and use hitscan weapons... not good game design. Even worse, you have Knights: bullet sponge tanks who spam homing explosive rounds that cannot be dodged unless you are across the map. Lastly, you have those self-healing ex-machina Watchers that simply ruin any progress you make on a boss. Crawlers are weird, but fine to fight.

I like how you get to play on big maps and can use multiple vehicles. But, the problem with the latter is that it involves the REQ system, so I can’t call in a Banshee, for example, without considering how I may not have enough left. That’s not fun, but predatory. 343i also changed the weapon tuning and changed the REQ levels at which certain loadout weapons are available, making them less viable to use. That is also predatory. Also, way too many bugs with how the enemy AI behaves, no choice in spawn location, the list goes on and on. So, while the map selection is not that big, the maps themselves are quite fun to play on and one of the only bright spots of FF.

If WZFF got an update, I’d be thrilled. But, other than the maps, it would have to be totally scrapped and rebuilt to be a solid and memorable mode. Anything else would be applying yet another band-aid. I am excited for Infinite, so we can finally put H5 completely in the past and forget about it.

Yeah, I really hate fighting any form of the Hunter bosses, I absolutely hate that's located in such awkward angles in the garage to the point we have to have tanks and Mantis on top of each other to kill them.

I do think fundamentally the way Warzone Firefight works is a bit overwhelming. In the original Firefight you just killed the enemies but in this one when a boss is there, the bosses constantly spawn enemies in, I really wish there was a breakoff point with how many enemies spawn in during boss fights. I get there are 8 Spartans, but on Mythic it's pretty ridiculous. I mention the maps because there are so many maps on Warzone not being used for Warzone Firefight. I do hope they take more ideas from all the Firefights and make on solid firefight in Halo: Infinite. Use ODST's difficulty, use Reach's weapon modes, and use Halo 5's bosses (just don't make them so ridiculously tanky).

Yeah good idea. Sorry, did not mean to suggest the other maps wouldn’t be a benefit because I think they would make things more fun.

There was a video years ago that showed how Warzone Firefight could be improved did you know that the Soldiers in the Mantis are just assault rifles?

I did not, but that is funny! I suppose no harm there since it’s not something the players see anyway and developers hide stuff like that all the time.

Warzone actually received quite a few maps in H5's lifespan.

Base Experience:
Raid on Apex 7
Escape from Arc
March on Stormbreak

Added:
Skirmish at Darkstar
The Sanghelios map with a green side and desert side
Battle of Noctis? (The city map which was seen in pre-release trailers, you could argue this content was purposefully held back)
Prospect (for WZ assault and FF)
Temple (for WZ assault and FF)
