Idk about you guys but when H5 came out i loved going into WZ with 11 of my friends… I don’t really get on here to much on the forums, but i have to ask the question of why we cant have a fire-team of 12 & why it says you can have a fire-team of 12 but only allowed 6? Why cant they add that back or add War-Lords a permanent playlist?

the majority of the population doesn’t have 12 player fire teams
I would love to gather 11 of my mates to play H5 split-screen. Still waiting too.

12 friends vs 12 randoms… Sometimes you can run into another group. Playing by myself was always a drag but it was always fun just because i would get matched against a full team. To me thats what made it fun and well… Inspiring, it was make friends or get good or even join a clan.

I loved queueing solo, or with 1 or 2 friends, and beating full 12 man teams. All the hate mail i got was totally worth it lol
