Nice to see a positive vid regarding the new warbond. Seen a few YT'ers drop vids just complaining and being very negative about it.
I think it's great and a good first step in the right direction. I'm very excited to get this. I just hope the new AR, shotgun and throwing knife all kick ass. Armour looks awesome. Hope it helps rejuvenate the community.

They should fix previous warbonds - snow armor need snow and ice passives... maybe even snow camo one as we have in description.

7:34 Basically we teleported Meridia in squid space... imagine you living your peaceful squid life and someone throws a dirty bomb near your planet... and leaves a portal which continues to provide spores from our space...

Seeing the AH ship turned in a seemingly positive direction albeit at a slower speed is 100% the right move imo. I didn't stop before; I ain't stoppin now.

[BalgaBear]

I'm excited to get an all around 10-15% stat increase for the undesired equipment!

I prefer that they just drop the warbond the day they show the trailer. I hate waiting

[cbangbang]

I am super excited that the AR’s are getting a buff. Maybe we get one weapon because the buff will make the old ones new 😁

[Moodyman]

Polar Patriots suffer due to the Liberator getting buffed and Scout Striders getting more explosion resistance, leading to the Tenderizer being a reskin rather than an upgrade or better option and the Purifier to not be able to do what was shown in the trailer. As far as theming, cryo grenades aside all they had to do was have the armor provide movement bonus on cold planets. No slow movement in snow or sliding on ice.

just saying, the grenade slot isnt called grenade slot but Utility Slot, so maybe we can had different/unique stuff more than just grenades in the future

Female voice will be with the same buffed skin? 😳😳😳

[MrMacavity]

I really hope this warbond is fun. Feeling a bit less incentive to play the game lately 😞

[evildaddyz]

i feel that the booster will make medic armor insane lol

[AlbertoMartinez-kgrj]

I would like to see an auto rifle with a grenade attachment with a drum or extended mag

[ZzVinniezZ]

Playing Halo "a walk in the woods" in this new map gonna be fun

[GiggleGeezer]

rip Factions, thanks for the Shorty shoutout

[binging]

I just hope they buff the guns to a point where they are powerful as a niche vs certain scenarios/enemies. Im so tired of using the breaker inc vs bugs, it feels like the only viable primary vs bugs. (dont get me started on those fucking bile bug missions, they really should say if its going to be a bile mission, id use radically different stratagens)
Automatons have a few more viable guns to use, scorcher, dominator, sickle, plas punisher but I wish i could bust out my dozens of other toys so naturally im over on that front more (its so much more fun than bugs imo). Loved the eruptor before the shrapnel removal now it feels like a bolt action grenade launcher instead of a niche weapon.
TL;DR Im not asking for my diver to be rambo and gun down every enemy with an assault rifle, I just want to gun play to feel satisfying and I dont want to mag dump half my ammo into a single enemy.

The armour passive should have been called peak performance

[chrisjackson]

Ok… so the new booster adds crack to the ingredients in your Stims?

[derplordz]

Seems interesting, but this will have no effect on my loadout becaude the utility of the plasma punisher, grenade pistol, and stun grenades is just too good

[tktxlegend]

I'm willing to bet the reason why the new warbond only has 1 primary is because Pilestedt had the team focused on making all the useless/underwhelming primaries we've been getting actually worth using now.

That, and I have a feeling he wants to slow down the introduction of new weapons so that any new ones we do get actually get the time and dedication they need during their development so that they dont enter the game DOA.
