: I just have to say, I think it's hilarious that you're holding this up as an
: example to aspire to. While I can't speak for your preferences at the
: time, I distinctly remember many, many people saying how much they hated
: the Tartarus fight and that it was an awful end to the game.

Didn't say it was perfect. But compared to Halo4's and Halo5's "boss" fights, it shins.
BTW, that was suppose to read as 'Semi epic fight', not 'Senu epic fight'. Not sure what happened there.
But yes, the Tartaus fight was a terrible ending for the game. But mostly because it's not the ending we expected. Not even close. Most of us, I'm sure, expected to have a real fight against the Prophet of Truth and his lackeys. Instead, we got a somewhat escort mission leading to a pretty darn easy Tartaus fight. But at least there was some thought and action in this fight. We didn't get anything close to that at the end of Halo 4 and 5.

: The final stand at the end of Reach is still my favorite end to a video game
: ever.

I really liked that ending. It was a bit bitter sweet, but still very good

: Please, no. I like that I can sneak in a grab the kill, it's amazing. As it
: is, you have to be good enough to prevent the enemy team from getting
: close enough to do that. On the other side, you can play smart and let the
: enemy team whittle his health down, then ambush them and grab the kill.
: Warzone would be much, much less fun without this mechanic.

Sorry, but this is terrible game design. Not only does it, somewhat, discourage teamwork, but it completely ruins the point of these A.I. battles. What fun/good is it to have most, if not all, of your team attacking the Warden and still loose because ONE PERSON on the other team happened to get the last shot? It's just not fun.

I've been on the winning side due to this "Feature". I've gotten the last shot on the A.I. bosses more then I can count. But, personally, I do not like winning like that. It's cheap and I feel like I'm cheating the every time it happens. I've taken out Air Bosses from across the map with a magnum. A MAGNUM! And I got the score for it just because that last shot came from me. I've seen players group up and Laser bosses together and still loose that score because of the stupid "only the last shot counts" mechanic. And yes. It is in deed a very stupid/dumb/ridiculous mechanic/feature for a game like Warzone.

I realize many love winning this way. I did at first as well. But it's clearly broken and needs fixing. Team should not be awarded for lone-wolf actions like this.
