Since none of you seem to want a solution, I will propose a less often heard of one… Warzone match time limits. When the match starts you have 13 minutes to take all three bases and destroy the enemy core or win by scoring 1000 VP. If the enemy captures all three bases and there are less than 2 minutes left, the time resets to 6 minutes. If they don’t destroy the enemy core in that time, the game either resets to 0 and no bases captured or ends with whoever has the higher VP (no rewards for just holding the three bases down).
I really like this one. Even though some might complain, it’s the closest thing to a solution for everyone that doesn’t endorse quitting but forces matches to be fair or penalizes the players who farm XP…
13 minutes isn’t very long.

That’s not what my ol’lady thinks
More simple. Unlimited time, but when a team cap three bases, a timer start. Then they have 3 minutes to destroy the core and get full rewards, or simply the game ends and they win.
Easy and straightforward.

So then people will afk even more, because all they need to do to end it quick is let them have all 3 bases
Self destruct after 10 minutes idea
If any of you are interested, this is the idea i had, actually balanced between preventing quitting and farming.

if scores reset and bases go back to being unclaimed, its not going to matter. The enemy team is pinning your’s down in your home base and no one can escape. All they have to do is send one guy to go and capture the bases while the rest keep your team pinned.
I have a better idea, take it like a man, people can play however they want, we farm kills because destroying the core doesn’t give you -Yoink-, not xp, nor req points, so i’d rather farm kills and get commendations than end the game early and receive less xp and reqs

Once again you’re not adding anything to the conversation by saying be a man thats just stupid. Its just a jerk move man.

I’m explaining the reason why we farm kill and there’s no solution, people cam farm kill because that’s how the game works

No its a -Yoink- move that people farm kill like we know you won now destroy the core and put us out of our misery don’t sit there and camp and spawn kill. People farm kill cause they’re tools and they’re a bunch of low lifes who care about there KD.
Never understood squads kill farming after 10 minutes, as after 10 minutes you get the most amount of REQ points regardless of whether it takes 10 mins or 25 mins. Nobody cares about K/D in this game, and even less people than that care about your Warzone kills. You could average 100 kills/game and nobody would care, what’s the point?
I mean most farm groups core at 10 minutes anyways because after that point they can get the full amount of XP and RP for a match…
They’d have to entirely redo every map to accommodate your suggested change though. Seeing as how some bosses don’t spawn until 18 minutes in.

No, i want to get comendations and you can’t do anything about it, that’s like saying that in slayer if a team has a 30 point lead, you might as well end the match to put the other team out of their misery, the same goes to a football match, maybe the score is 27 - 3 but they wont end the game regardless of how one sided it is right? Sorry but you do have to take it like a man
Times are changing when kids start using the term “farming” in a Halo game. I think me and my friends always called it either “Stat Padding” or “Griefing”. I normally end the game when I can if we are dominating. I’ve been known to in Matchmaking to kill the Flag carrying teammate in Halo 2 to score and finish the game. “Griefing” is hardly avoidable, especially in 1-sided game modes. Best resolution is to just respect the game and opponent and finish the game when able which is easier said than done. A possible solution, however, could simply just to reward players to finishing games more, which means you want to play more games where extending a game would not help.

Sorry this isn’t football its Halo. Saying take it like a man makes you look like an -Yoink- dude. You care way to much about KD and Commendations if you do it and if thats so you need to evaluate yourself.

That will cause the winning team to just cap the middle base and the enemy team’s armory while leaving their base uncapped and thus preventing the timer and allowing the spawn camping to continue. Here are some of my solutions which are just basic thoughts at this point.
Solutions:
Party restrictions.
Turn off JIP after a certain score/time has passed or if too many people already quit the game.
Better home base design. Allow for more exits that only your team can use.
Don’t have quit penalties for WZ.
Questionable solutions:
Mercy rule. This would have to be thought out in-depth to provide the best outcome.
Shield barrier in your home base that appears once certain conditions are met that you could hide behind.
Teleporter that appears for a very limited time once certain conditions are met which transports you to a random spawn point.

It’s the same principle, either way i’m wasting my time, people will continue doing it and there’s nothing you can do about it, either 343 rewards you for destroying the core with req points and xp or people will continue farm killing, simple as that
