The title says it.
I don’t think this would be hard to implement. Have an in-game mechanism to allow for a warzone team to vote on self-destructing their core. It would be like any other voting system. Majority rules.
This can be implemented through another button that is pressable when accessing the in-game stat screen. Or it can be added to the start menu. Any one player should be able to opt for the vote to initialize, but there should be a minute or so gap before another vote can be initialized after one already has. This is the most logical thing I can think of for farming situations, and it can’t be that hard. The vote pop up should be minimalistic and have a time limit to vote, probably 30 seconds. It shouldn’t affect gameplay much at all especially if made transparent.
Thoughts?
EDIT: The game could not be voted for self-destruction of the core till the 5 minute mark has been reached. This would help the button not to be abused.

Why do you say no? There is nothing plain and simple, this is a viable solution.
Having a button at the base of the core with a press X to vote self destruct sequence may work. Compared to other things I’ve seen this may be the best one yet. Not that there’d be anything better, but out of suggested solutions I could go with this one.

You could literally camp the other team’s surrender button, if you actually had to find it and press it.

That would work, but then imagine if a team simply just had half their team in your core room killing everyone who tried to come in and the other half with snipers and vehicles?

Yeah. I would take the option of a physical in-game button if that was all they offered, but it’s not preferable.
Are you kidding this would be so abused. You know someone’s just going to self destruct it immediately.
My friend, either one of two things will happen: griefing galore, or over-balancing it in an attempt to mitigate the former’s effectiveness that ends up making it next to useless.

Another three buttons perhaps? Voting at all team controlled REQ stations?

Why would someone self destruct it immediately? Maybe the game has to be at least 4 or 5 minutes in before a vote can be cast then.

Could you please iterate these two scenarios? I’m not quite picturing what you are saying?

That is a good option as well.

I was thinking the only time voting would be allowed is when all bases are captured by the enemy team. Then have a three minute cooldown before voting is allowed to begin.
Only if the game gets to a point that it is impossible to get enough points to win and it has to be at least 12 players voting for self destruct it would rarely get used hopefully but is there as an option

This would not work because sometimes the farmers will not capture all bases on purpose.

The coding for that would be ridiculous, and getting the whole team to vote would almost never happen.

almost never happen is what I was thinking so it’s just a neat little thing not some thing you see often and the winning team should get a little medal for it stating they fought so hard the enemy took the easy way out!
and maybe have a medal for self destructing but it’s obviously a medal you don’t want to have and it’s considered shamefull to have

I don’t think you understand what I meant. I mean, even if a whole team of randoms was getting farmed, there is probably always, at least, one person who would not vote. The medal sounds cool and makes sense. I think a time cap is the best scenario, I doubt a majority of a team would vote a self-destruct if they were just playing a tough team playing well but not farming them. The thing is, I’m trying to give an option that doesn’t take a lot effort on 343’s part so that they are more likely to actually do it. If we tell them we need them to code in all these if-then statements before this can be implemented, the chance goes down.
