For a good while now, it’s been pretty horrendous going into Matchmaking unless you always have a Fireteam with you. Random players don’t always want to communicate, and the enemy team just happens to be in a Fireteam using communication, making for a very unpleasant experience.
With the addition of the new Search Preferences included in Memories of Reach, I think it would be nice if 343i were to add in a search preference where you can search for matches that only match you with people who are also searching solo, meaning you don’t search with a Fireteam, you only match with people who are also not in Fireteams.
This could be very useful in the event that you just can’t get players together for a Fireteam. Any thoughts on this? Good, or bad?
I’d gladly sit through a longer matchmaking time for it, truthfully. I can imagine, it might take a bit more time to find a match by narrowing down the search to that extent, but it’d be optional.
Id support this for sure. I normally wait less then 5 seconds for a match at any given time. My long waits are about 20 seconds. I would happily wait even twice as long for a actual fair fight randoms vs randoms. I dont think this will happen ever but it would be nice.
I’m so sick of playing against fireteams, and companies, why can’t I just play a game of warzone with a bunch of guys and gals who just wanna sit back and not play a game like their lives depended on the win.
Do you guys think I should stop playing for a while? I’ve been getting horrendously upset at how competitive this game has been and it’s been putting me in a horrible mood.

Exactly! But a lot of players would suggest that we [solo players] should start joining groups and companies for a better chance to win those frustrating Warzone games.
I’d suggest you should take a break from Warzone. I know where you’re coming from because I’ve been there, but that gametype shouldn’t be the reason why you should stop playing. Go play social playlists for a while (Infection, Grifball, etc.). Seems to be the perfect remedy for me.

This has been my problem ever since infinity armory update. I keep getting matched against a fireteam. So yeah, I definitely agree with this idea.

I am in the same mood as you bro… It has happened with me too. I hope 343 will add this in next update ( regretfully, it sounds very unlikely )
Love the enthusiasm towards this idea, thank you everyone. Hopefully 343i sees this thread and at least contemplates the thought of creating the preference.

It’s only natural to be upset going against full Fireteams, considering their coordination is bound to be much better than your team of randoms. If it infuriates you enough, maybe a break would do you some good.

Exactly, I mean it’d be an optional preference, so the longer wait time is acceptable to me.
I agree, but it seems 343 favors team play. Pretty positive that the only ones with longer wait times if a change like this was implemented would be the fire teams.

I’m sure there would still be a number of people who would continue to search for matches solo without the search preference active just to find a match fast. Again, it’d only be an optional search preference.

Shhh, don’t speak about a “so far” or else you’ll jinx it.

You can’t hide from the negativity on Waypoint! But I’ll do my best to not jinx it.

I would love it if they implemented this, I’ve actually had to block several groups of players due to this happening far too frequently.
