Something needs to be done about Spartan Companies destroying randoms in Warzone. Fireteams need to be pitted against other fireteams. I shouldn’t even have to go into detail as to why; it has been said countless times. It’s unfair for a group of randoms to have to face a coordinated fireteam nearly every single match.
EDIT:
Changed the title to be less dramatic and hopefully keep people on-topic.
Yeah I just play firefight instead
Not arguing against it, but how would that work exactly? What if you are in a fire team of 6? Do you only get matched against another fire team of 6 and each team has 6 randoms? Or just fill up teams of only fire teams? What if one team of 12 faces three fire teams on 4? That’s still more or less like playing against randoms.

Same here. I have not played a Solo warzone match since May i think. Been playing with other players from LFG/companies or just players on my friends list for warzone. Soloq for warzone is not gonna end well most of the time nowadays. Unlike WZA which has the 6 man FT limit, if warzone implemented this or prioritised fireteams against one another WZ might improve
It’s hard to make that work. The only advice I can give is to play with a team. I always play with a team, and I have a blast.

That’s 343’s problem.
I solo queue all the time and don’t have any problems. Not sure why that is.

If you make a thread at least make some suggestions. It’s their job, yes, but make this more than just another rant.
I occasionally get steamrolled, but that’s always been par for the course.

Same with me. Sure I have some games where my team gets a beaten pretty badly from time to time but hey that is gaming. I think some just have unrealistic expectations and expect every game to be some perfectly balanced close match and that just won’t happen.

It’s either be destroyed by fireteams, or the dreaded AI… personally I like the challenge of a player, but holy crap is it rough when your VSing a team who exploites every possible strategy all in the name of winning… not to have a good match, just to win…
I think I’ll take the latter, players who are not willing to fight a fair fight don’t really intrest me.
This is all assuming I even fight a fireteam that is, I used to find it rare, but I haven’t touched warzone in a long time so I have no idea what it’s like now.

I like the challenge of a player too, but I go to big team battle for that. I like the new maps

It’s more like it’s a problem for people who play in fireteams of any size. Wait times for matches would be off the charts trying to mix and match everybody.

The suggestion is to pit fireteams against other fireteams. How exactly to do that is up to 343. I am no game designer.

This same slippery slope argument seems to show up every time this topic is mentioned. There are more active fireteams in Warzone than people seem to realize, and they don’t always have to be pitted against other fireteams, but the system should at least try to group them together even if it makes players wait an extra 30-60 seconds. It’s worth the balance in the long run.
I have gone fireteam against fireteam (s) plenty of times in WZ.

Well, yeah, that’s not really impossible to do. How often have you gone fireteam against randoms I wonder?
I agree, but I don’t see how warzone is dying.

Less people are playing because no-one likes getting their butt kicked constantly. Eventually Warzone will be mostly comprised of Spartan Companies trying to max out their kill commendations.

You don’t know that.
