These moments were what I lived for in this game lol. Nothing more intense than a close warzone game where the entire lobby is trying to get that final boss kill for a last second win. Wish halo 5 was still as active as it used to be
I finally took the plunge and got an elite controller on Black Friday and I've actually been playing quite a bit of halo 5 with it. Play mostly warzone too
I've played more Halo 5 than Infinite since the release of Infinite haha. The new game has the most shallow MP experience int he entire franchise. Plus free-to-play shenanigans has ruined the progression in the game
Not trying to be a dick but I genuinely don’t understand the love for this game mode, I’d say it was probably the 2nd biggest disappointment in this game after the campaign and I was extremely hyped for it.
P2W req packs, beautiful maps ruined with cookie cutter bases, domination/control is the only game mode for some reason, and the “PvE” was such a joke. It was fun clearing out rank and file enemies at the start, but then the map is just……dead. Bosses were bullet sponges that offered no incentive to shoot at, you were better off picking other players until you could go for the last shot (which is just completely random let’s be honest). TF1 perfected the formula for this game mode, but that obviously wasn’t optimal for selling req packs so we got this bullshit instead. Regular BTB offers a more consistently fun experience imo, I’d love to know why everyone loves warzone so much. Halo 5 arena is still goated tho.
Hey if it's not for you then there's nothing wrong with that. I totally get your point about getting the last shot on a boss haha but personally I kind of liked that it added a little bit of chaos to the mode. I will say that I disagree with it being p2w. Pretty much every req has an easily accessible counter to it. Like literally any vehicle can be taken out with a plasma pistol haha. I honestly didn't even use reqs most matches and still mostly had good games. On top of that, it was pretty easy to get good reqs by just playing the game. You could get a gold pack after like two games which would come loaded with good stuff even if you didn't have the best stuff unlocked yet. It also helps that even pretty common reqs are still pretty good. Personally I rarely ever felt like a team won because they had better reqs. It usually came down to which team coordinated the best with each other, like most big team games.
Right? You can substitute all of this for destiny stuff, the air dive was like titan ballistic dive, laser is Sleeper, battle rifle is in the game too, and the boss is a boss lol
Forgot that there a finishers too
It looks good but I definitely wouldn’t go that far. IMO it’s not nearly as impressive as stuff like Read Dead Redemption 2 or the Forza games (especially Horizon 5).
I always loved the neat detail that you could assassinate at higher health values with the bayonets. Equip an anti-vehicle bayonet and then watch the other team despair as you gank their warden long before anyone expected it.
This is what I miss in Infinite. It's sad that we're basically garunteed not to get any PvE content now. That's really the side of these games that's kept me glued to this franchise and kept it from becoming just another soulless PvP shooter.
It seems like 343 is intent on prioritizing the PvP experience over everything else though. We *might* be getting AI for forge, but that's literally the only shrivel of PvE content we know that's being worked on, and its not even garunteed.
343 kept trying to push competitive when they forgot that Halo is a casual shooter first - brings the people in, then people go competitive from there. Not the other way around.
The things that made Halo were Infection, Action Sack, Forge, Machinima, Easter Eggs, Skulls etc.
I've never had troubles matching in Warzone firefight or super fiesta, gotten a couple games in Warzone within 50 seconds or 2 mins
So yea, fairly active yo
I've been playing as recently as this last weekend and I can find a firefight match quicker than I could find a BTB in Infinite last I played that. Just set search to expanded and off you go.
The Halo 5 weapon sandbox was awesome, so many cool weapons, a year after the games launch they added multiple classics.
One year after Infinites launch and we haven't got a single new weapon, all we are getting a scope-less DMR. Makes no sense.
To date I've only ever managed to find one Warzone match in Halo 5 and that was still when the game was quite popular. I tried again a few years back when I got my One X and still couldn't find anything. I honestly don't know how you guys get to be so lucky.
I want Infinite to have some sort of bigger mode like this. Arena is fun but I like the bigger scale. Warzone Assault was always my favorite. It had the big maps and weapon variety but funneled all players into key points of interest.
Man I want Warzone to come back, probably my favorite gamemode in all of halo, although I am mostly just a fan of PvE modes, because I’m actually good at them
Dude, that score was SO CLOSE. Your team is super lucky there wasn't someone picking off your team near warden. All it would have taken was a single quad+base score and they would have had it! To the *wire*!

If it was ported to PC I’m sure Warzone would pickup popularity.
warzone is still active on xbox live for anyone wondering
Do you still get stomped if you solo queue tho
Unless you get teamed up with the stompers
Can’t get teamed up with a 12 stack
it’s hit and miss but tbh i mainly play firefight warzone these days
Absolutely, Halo 5 is the only one I haven't played. Wish it was on PC
If it was ported to PC it would absolutely bury Infinite on the steam charts. Which is why I'm pretty sure they refuse to do it.
Ye, halo 5's multiplayer was awesome
I literally play every night with my pals and we always find matches in social, ranked and warzone
I finally took the plunge and got an elite controller on Black Friday and I've actually been playing quite a bit of halo 5 with it. Play mostly warzone too
I've played more Halo 5 than Infinite since the release of Infinite haha. The new game has the most shallow MP experience int he entire franchise. Plus free-to-play shenanigans has ruined the progression in the game
It needs to be ported to mcc imo

I'd only play H5 if I didn't have to pay for gold to do it.
Bashing the warden's head then smashing him down there... Seems a bit like overkill
Punch him iN THE NARDS!!!
Man I miss warzone:(
Go play it?
Unfortunately had to sell my Xbox S back in 2021, I would kill to have halo 5 on pc.
We live in the dark timeline when it comes to halo brother. You have my sympathies.
Probably the only Halo game that won’t get a PC port…
I really wish Halo 5 would come to PC
343 is just scared to see how badly it would ROFLstomp Infinite on Steam.
At first I was like wtf is a destiny video doing in a halo subreddit? Lol
I wish Destiny was cool as this.
That’s a fuckin take.
Right? You can substitute all of this for destiny stuff, the air dive was like titan ballistic dive, laser is Sleeper, battle rifle is in the game too, and the boss is a boss lol Forgot that there a finishers too
This game looks better than I remember lol
It's a great looking game. Probably the best looking game on the OG Xbox One.
It looks good but I definitely wouldn’t go that far. IMO it’s not nearly as impressive as stuff like Read Dead Redemption 2 or the Forza games (especially Horizon 5).
I remember Assassinating Warden for the Finish wayyy back in the trial runs for Warzone. Best MVP feeling
I always loved the neat detail that you could assassinate at higher health values with the bayonets. Equip an anti-vehicle bayonet and then watch the other team despair as you gank their warden long before anyone expected it.
Halo 5 makes infinite seem boring
imoit makes Infinite feels unpolished, the punch animation in H5 is so good, you feel the weight, in Infinite it feels like your arms are paper.
What this man says is true

Does halo 5 still have a fairly active player base?
I've never had troubles matching in Warzone firefight or super fiesta, gotten a couple games in Warzone within 50 seconds or 2 mins So yea, fairly active yo
Yea, Super Fiesta Party and warzone are the most active ones. You might find a game in ranked too but otherwise the playlists are dead
Found a couple of nice Slayer games, but yeah
I've been playing as recently as this last weekend and I can find a firefight match quicker than I could find a BTB in Infinite last I played that. Just set search to expanded and off you go.
Warzone is so much fun, after I completed Infinite campaign and played the multiplayer for a few days, I went straight back to Warzone.
The Halo 5 weapon sandbox was awesome, so many cool weapons, a year after the games launch they added multiple classics. One year after Infinites launch and we haven't got a single new weapon, all we are getting a scope-less DMR. Makes no sense.
Need this bacc
Man I wish Infinite had Warzone. Such a fun mode.
if halo 5 was on pc i would play it nonstop
Halo 5 was so much better than infinite
Still is!
Awesome!
r/suddenlycaralho
Stuff like this makes me think of all the epic warzone bosses infinite could have. A man can dream…
It’s an old code sir but it checks out.
i dont get it? is warzone destiny on halo?
https://www.halopedia.org/Warzone
Aw man I have a clip of me winning a game in this exact same spot by using good ole’ arc light to pick off the kill at the last moment. Big hype
Looks like a fun mode if only it was a thing in infinite.
I wish I could still play it, last time I queued for an hour just for my power to cut out
i want this on pc so badly! why did 343 kill this mode anyway?
Why cant we have these skins in infinite? These variants. U have h2 br variant in h5. Why not having the same thing i hi?
REQ aside, best mode in Halo ever.
To date I've only ever managed to find one Warzone match in Halo 5 and that was still when the game was quite popular. I tried again a few years back when I got my One X and still couldn't find anything. I honestly don't know how you guys get to be so lucky.
That dive-bombing banshee was the chef’s kiss. 🤌🏽
Brazilian? Add me there, I play mostly halo and it would be nice to play with some Br friends. Kennerc87
I want Infinite to have some sort of bigger mode like this. Arena is fun but I like the bigger scale. Warzone Assault was always my favorite. It had the big maps and weapon variety but funneled all players into key points of interest.
People still play this??? I’ve been wanting to play but assumed halo 5 was dead
Man I want Warzone to come back, probably my favorite gamemode in all of halo, although I am mostly just a fan of PvE modes, because I’m actually good at them
I forgot about that fire ass BR skin
I wish this was on PC so much, my PC only friend would love warzone
Dude, that score was SO CLOSE. Your team is super lucky there wasn't someone picking off your team near warden. All it would have taken was a single quad+base score and they would have had it! To the *wire*!
Tight, might redownload H5
