[Locked] Official Warzone Firefight Beta Feedback Thread

This is not firefight... Bring back halo ODST firefight with lives and just waves of enemies. not this infinite life bs with a ton of easy "bosses" firefight should be difficult not tirelessly boring. If you're going to call it firefight make it real firefight. not this barebones impossible to lose stuff.

Add game modes like

Escort "like escorting vergil in odst"

Vip "one random teammate is cup of he dies you lose lifes if he lives you gain lifes. But have his health on vamp so he has to keep killing to stay alive .that way they don't camp"

Totally take over "everyzone in any map is a capture zone. Piece by piece"

Generator defence "no decription needed"

Juggernaut "highs kills or points dose more damage is faster and has overshield"

It's was fun. It wasn't immersive enough, there weren't enough enemies, no punishment for death. It's annoying because instead of it being a survival type game, it's a challenge to see if you can kill the wardens. So this should be fixed

Just a couple of issues:

• the opening music sometimes cues in and sometimes doesn't (actually happens sometimes in arena too)
• i noticed that some kill medals weren't showing up. I have no idea if the kills counted but especially noticed on the "kill watchers" section medals wouldn't appear on several occasions.
• Round three is by far the hardest with defending the garage. Every other one could probably be bumped up but that stage is the only one I was caught up on.

cool

It's really fun, but in my opinion, just not difficult enough, and ends way too fast. I would add in more rounds, at least 10, and add in more difficult enemies throughout, maybe some legendary bosses in the earlier stages, and a larger quantity of legendaries at the end.

This is tough to do since FF in the past has traditionally only had 4 max teammates working together, but I think above suggestions would help with 8 players, but maybe allow for infinite rounds as another variant to see how far you can go with say, 10 lives. This is what made FF so great when it was introduced in ODST.

Another suggestion: skulls introduced for each round.

The Warzone Firefight Beta has arrived, and we want to hear your feedback! Be sure to let us know what you think in this official thread.

The Warzone Firefight Beta is available until April 18, don't wait to jump in!

Update:
The Warzone Firefight Beta is all systems go. To thank you for your patience, we're extending the Beta an extra day (until Tuesday the 19th)!

I think that there needs to be infinite waves, and you have to survive as long as possible.

Is it me or does the tank gunner and that warthog driver get hosed? I noticed that when my team took down some warden bosses I did not get the boss take down even though I layed into the almost point blank.
Also driving around while your team mate is on the gun, why does the driver not get credit for the kills the gunner makes?? Also if you don't give the drive kill credits at least let him get some wheelman commendations.

Also, WZFF is great!!!!!! Thank you!! Can't wait to see what it becomes once you guys go thru. All of these comments.

As represented in the beta, my impression of Warzone Firefight is that it's a very casual, mostly easy mode. It gives you a chance to run around, shoot at things, die, respawn and sometimes flex your muscles (with whatever REQ's you choose) without consequence or seriously presenting any sort of challenge. The team dynamic which made previous iterations of Firefight (not Spartan Ops) most compelling is missing because everyone is just doing their own thing, even if they are shooting at the same target. If it remains the same, I foresee this current mode of WZ FF becoming either a playlist to grind for REQ points with little effort or a casual break from the other competetive modes but the population will probably drop away over time.

Ideas for improvement (or possibly a separate "survival" playlist)
- consider limiting REQ access, either make it so you can only access them during the intermission or slow down the regeneration of REQ energy, making your choices much more critical about what you can call up, knowing that you can't just pull another Scorpion tank out when one is destroyed. Someone else did suggest a REQ penalty for death which may be possible as well, say -2 REQ levels.
- limit lives (individual or shared among the team) and institute a revive mechanic so people have to work together. Shared team lives would be most cohesive but I can see where a randomly matched person could use up all the lives without caring about the rest of the Fireteam. Individual lives (maybe start with a reserve of 3-5, plus 1-2 per round) would make that less of a problem and still allow everyone to restart at the beginning of each round.
- maybe allow smaller Fireteams (probably at least 4+ though) and scale down the difficulty accordingly so . Then people aren't forced to join with people who aren't friends, which disrupts the team dynamics.
- These changes would likely necessitate some changes in enemy numbers or health because it would be much much more difficult than the current FF mode.

I love the Halo series, ever since I played Halo CE, and H5 has been a lot of fun. I actually like the new mechanics (sprint, boost, clamber) quite a bit and the game modes are a lot of fun. I'm hoping to continue playing H5 until H6 comes out so hopefully, this contributes to the longevity of the game :)
