And it hasn’t happened more than post update. Thank you for taking away my only defence against these spawn camping griefers 343 (my team) . You killed warzone. 4 games in the past week.
I think I was farmed 4 times total in the year prior to this fireteam reduction. But you don’t care about farming do you? As long as req use is high and games don’t end very quickly.
i could care less about being farmed. But I find it humorous that this change was to reduce the occurrence. And has only made it worse.

Was they inside your base or was your team continually running out to meet them?
If your being farmed, its a lot less painful if you stay at the back of your homebase.
Leave the game or pull out some awesome REQs… If your only defense was a big team then chances are you’ve caused the same amount of rage you’re having now for someone else. Since the Fireteam limit is so small now I’m sure it was just a case of the enemy team having you guys cornered in your home base and weren’t able to get inside since your team was obviously defending it. Like the Timmy guy above me said, stay in the base and shoot out.
Yours is the first account I’ve heard of where the farming problem was exacerbated by the change in fireteam limit.
Everyone else who has posted on the subject has said they’ve experienced less farming, and that solo queuing in Warzone is better than ever.
Based on those statistics, your scenario sounds more like an outlier than a trend.
Said it before and will say it again… it’s 100% unpreventable… it’s going to happen… bad games and bad beats happen. It’s best just to move on to the next game. I can say I haven’t really noticed a difference in warzone since the change. I don’t think anything they really do will increase or decrease the cases of “farming”.

I think the change is more about req use. Quick coring was giving a lot of rp with little reqs used. That’s a problem for a company trying to sell req packs.

The problem was quick coring, farming teams, one or the other i was really crap as a solo gamer. And WZ is where many starting out with Halo begin. And it wasnt just spartan companies. There were also a trend of randoms just inviting the best players from own, and opposing team to quick get a 12 man army going.
imo its way better now, havent been cored or farmed since update. have had my -Yoink- kicked many times tho

Although I understand this I’m not sold on it. A Turbo weekend, that hasn’t happened and many have been asking for(even a FF version), could have just as easily increased REQ use and sales to those wanting in on the action
It might have just been a bad day and you were up against well coordinated teams. Just know that there’s a difference between being steamrolled by a solid team vs farmed (being trapped inside your base for 15 mins while the team makes NO effort to destroy the core). No matter what update or tweaks 343 makes, it’s never going to completely stop teams from farming.
If it happens it happens, not much more can be done. I have been farmed about three times since the update, two of those times a six player group of high ranking players were on the other team. It was funny too because i looked at their profiles and they were putting their farming game in their showcase or facebook.
I just looked at the game in question and while it is quite clear that you guys got trip capped I don’t think it qualifies as a farming game, and certainly not being “farmed hard” in the least. Only 2 players on the other team had over 20 kills and they cored you at 12 minutes. You probably weren’t even triple capped until around 6 minutes because you had one base at one point. This is not farming. This is just getting beat by a better team.
Farming is a 20 minute marathon with most of the other team dropping at least 30 kills until everyone quits. These guys even killed bosses. Farmers don’t touch them.

lmao I knew as soon as I saw who OP was it’d be bull.
Nice job lying there buddy. Come back when you’ve actually been farmed.

I’ve seen and heard farming issues from both sides of it. The team farming because they can’t cap a base because of lack of coordination with other team members (fireteam limits)…and the other side with the team being farmed because they can’t push out with just a select few of their team (once again because of fireteam limit).
It’s actually occurred pretty frequently since the update. And in most cases it seems that the update has done the complete opposite of what it was set out to do with preventing farming.

Can’t get beat by a better “team”, because 343 eliminated that option when they decided to reduce fireteams to 6.

I would have to disagree. I’ve seen alot of farming since the update because of lack of coordination between players on the same team. It’s still a pretty big issue if not bigger now because of the lack of teams out there thanks to the reduction in fireteam limits.
