One of many ways to stop farming

My way to stop farming, is to drastically lower fireteam limit, like 2 or 3. This would lower the ammount of people getting together just to destroy their enemies. Now a very good point is, well get multiple fireteams to do get together and match at the same time. That is hard, and you could get on wrong teams(EX: 6 teams of 2, but 2 teams get on Red, 4 teams get on Blue).
EDIT: I do not in anyway support getting rid of farming, but do to a big community of people who don’t like farming, here is an idea.

While we’re at it, let’s just make the whole game solo queue only. Then no one will ever have to worry about coordinated opponents. 343 will only have to match based on connection and individual skill. That way they can update it easier and no one will have to worry about socializing with others while playing.

WHAT???

I can’t tell if I’m being trolled or not. I heard another good way to stop farming is to not water the plants.

My reaction to your post.

But in all seriousness that would be a terrible idea, and wouldn’t stop you from being farmed by randoms, or being a guys 70th kill for his ungrig.

Then what happens if most/all the randoms have a mutual agreement to farm you anyway?

That will happen to any thing to get rid of farming… I never said farming is actually gonna stop… lol. That is never gonna stop.

I haven’t noticed any farming yet with the 6 man fireteams. Not to mention there’s already been massive backlash on lowering it to 6. 2 or 3 seems too extreme. I still want to play with my friends.

Again, I do not support my point, it is just an idea many support. The idea is stop farming.
Now, I agree with what you said. Lowring lower will get community backlash, but support. In everything, their will be someone who disagrees. Someone who doesn’t like it. I honestly do more solo matchmaking than fireteam. Usually if in a fireteam, I will be with one or two of my friends.

It is not a solution, to stop a few people we have to affect everyone.
In my opinion, if the enemy has 3 bases, players can self-destruct the core if the majority wants it.
And the farm in arsenal? Because if it is really farm, they appear in nucleo until they capture.
Another solution is to put competitive warzone for 12 people.

What? 70th kill for his ungrig? What does that mean? 70th kill for his Unfrig? If so, it takes 40 kills to get an unfrig buddy…
It prevents fireteam farming.

I don’t think everyone agrees what farming actually is. In my opinion farming is when the enemy has you quickly triple capped and is in your core base, core room etc, and ignoring the core. A 1000-70 game that lasts 20 minutes. I’ve only seen it 3 or 4 times since launch. What I see a lot now is a team of randoms triple capping another team of randoms yet they aren’t coordinated/skilled enough to blow the core. Because of map design the losing team has almost no chance of breaking through the bottleneck at the 2 core base doors so the game drags out forever and the loser thinks they were farmed. They weren’t. They were the victim of bad map design and the dominating team needing just a bit more skill or coordination to push through. Yes some players choose not to go for the core, but that’s still not farming. Farming is a coordinated team spawn killing in the core base. It never was as bad as people made it out to be, although the times it happened to me I was pretty angry. If anything teams helped because they prevented the long standoff games we have now.

I agree to an extent but I feel this solution is too far for people who like to play in fireteams. All they need to do is add ONE more Warzone playlist where fireteams aren’t allowed, and put the normal Warzone back to 12 man fireteam limit. It’s a perfect way to do it that works for everyone.

By 70th kill. I meant that the guy was racking up kills, maybe died a few times, but as soon as he got ahold of a good REQ he dominated, which happens a lot now. Plus, it may prevent fireteam farming, but it doesn’t keep you from being pushed to the core and slaughtered by randoms. Not only that but you are trampling over the enjoyment of those of us who enjoy hooking up with a bunch a friends and hanging out in warzone. You are also making many Spartan Companies pointless as they can no longer enjoy warzone together. Then there are those who hae playing with uncoordinated players. All these things can lead to people quitting warzone and maybe Halo, which is just like what was happening before.

So with all that, what do you say? You don’t care? Your enjoyment comes before theirs? That’s just like a farmer. farmers have no consideration for their crops feelings, but of themselves and those they play with leading to making people quit. Just like how you care not for those who play in teams, and only for that of you and solo players, leading people to quit just like farmers.

So with that, why don’t you try to find a way to help everybody instead of crap on the feelings of those of us who enjoy playing with a bunch of buddies or the company?

LOL!! Ya why were at it, why don’t we make the whole game solo queue :stuck_out_tongue: l I’m guessing your joking, I hope so lol

I must say, I’m really tired of all these “limit the fireteam in x playlist” threads. I’m a solo player 75% of the time or more and I have NO ISSUES with how things are now, or before in every other Halo game. People just either need to communicate if they want there team to play better, meet people to play with if you have no friends or even better, stop complaining and play the game. Sometimes your going to get owned, that’s life. Someone is always better then you so if you want to stay on top of your game you need to practice at Halo just like anything else in life.

Sorry OP but no. You’ll never stop farming, ever! BUT you can reduce it and when 343I announced how to get Achilles they just encouraged farming even more by how you get it. They should of just made it based on things like “get x wins” If 343I did this, farming wouldn’t of been anywhere near as bad. Farming only became an issue in Halo 5 when Achilles was announced, so blame 343I on this one. 343I had the right idea with Achilles, but they didn’t think it threw enough.

Instead of fireteam limit of 6<<<

Make the limit 7.
Why 7?

That way two parties of 6 don’t just get placed together.

maybe add shields surrounding the outer base (like the ones when you have a base only these are still able to be passed through) only difference is it blocks some forms of bullets (tank shells, snipers ect.) This then forces enemies in tanks and so on to have to get inside the base or relatively close to ensuring they cant just sit back and farm, although it might be alittle much. Thanks to a previous forum, i have found out not everybody uses 12 man fireteams for “Farming” so i still think it is worth adding back, only stopping farming when doing so

Just create a sole queue searching preference and fireteam searching preference…

and the world is saved

Me neither. I find that games are much closer and more fun to play. Being a mostly solo player, Warzone feels much better.

i pretty much only ever play solo but i dont like this idea

You shouldn’t limit team size. WZ becomes one sided because of its snowball mechanics and it being difficult to stop the enemy spawn killing you in your remaining base with a load of vehicles.

Rarely do I feel like the enemy team is better or my own team is bad. Almost always its because they simply have more firepower and have us caught in a vice which you can’t get out of.
