Cuando van a arreglar el problema de la latencia de halo 5, porque no ponen un servidor en Mexico, varios jugadores se han quejado de la mala conexión de los tiempos de respuesta, cuando salió halo reach bungie tenia servidores en todas partes nadie se quejo de problemas de latencia, ustedes de 343 por lo que veo quieren privatizar el halo 5, solo se enfocan en el mercado americano, pero que pasa con países como Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, o los países centro americanos que en repetidas ocasiones han denunciado estos problema, les comento que estos países en su mayoría no son países desarrollados con la capacidad de pagar el servicio de fibra óptica que es lo mas rápido para conectarse a los servidores de halo, en mis país ese servido anda en 180 dólares con una velocidad de 5 megas, al contratar ese servicio se me acabarían los problemas de latencia, sin embargo no todos tenemos la capacidad de pagar esa cantidad de dinero al mes, me parece injusto que una persona entre con una latencia de 10 ms y otro que entre con 144 ms, quien tendrá la ventaja, pues ya sabemos, las condiciones del juego no son iguales, no hay igualdad por ese simple echo, porque no hacer un servidor en México para que ayuden a estos países, porque solo establecen servidores en países desarrollados, por favor hagan algo al respecto, soy un gran fan de halo, pero desde que 343 asumió el mando ya no me dan ganan de jugar en línea, espero que mis comentarios les den la importancia, muchas gracias.

There is going to a big surprise when they come across us. wink wink :wink:

Also there should be a mixture of Warzone Assault with Warzone Ai so the playlist has a bigger variety. And there never has been a 12v12 ever played on Temple and no sweaty WZA game has ever taken place on Prospect.

> Make one Warzone playlist have a fireteam limit of 4-5 people and make Warlords open for everyone. This helps solo players not face full parties in the regular Warzone playlist and it reduces the search times for bigger parties in the Warlords playlist since solo players and parties of 6 or more can search in it.

This is by my point of view the best solution so far. The first warzone playlist would be the safe “no farm” zone if you want to play alone or with one or two buddies.
Meanwhile you can always go into warlords with your full party or even solo if you know what are you doing or rather get a better coordinated experience, so at the end of the day you don’t have limitations to get some fun!

Why wasn’t this out during launch?

Looking forward to playing against people with thumbs and brains. I just wish it wasn’t a weekend thing.

It’s good that 343i is trying to appease the 12 man warzone players. If this setup doesn’t work I’d go with the idea of adjusting standard warzone to cap parties at 3 to 4 and warlords get switched to above 4 or 5.

A good idea, hopefully it can resolve the farming issue.

I see you with that Brook quote.

This is never going to happen.

Finally we’ve been needing this for awhile.

This is good thing for the most part, I was very irritated they removed 12 man FT, I get people get upset they get farmed and most of the time they weren’t being farmed but it seemed that way cause they defended their core well and it couldn’t be destroyed quickly therefore making feel like they were being farm but in reality the core could not be reached, but anyways at some point for pretty much everyone, we all started solo or maybe a couple of friends, I can safely say I’m pretty positive no one started Halo WZ with 12 people, we met people and made friends, groups were built, companies were built, the simple answer wasn’t to punish everyone by removing 12 man max but rather encouraging players to join companies and groups. I can speak for myself and a large group of other players I completly stopped playing WZ after that update killed our ability to communicate to full potential as it was designed for originally, you know how hard it was every game to try to get six random players that joined in to fill the game to join the party so we could have proper communication and the ability to feel like a team, it was damn near impossible. Also the fact no one was punished from bigteam side was extremely upsetting, why wasn’t that FT size placed down to 4 from 8. It was unfair and unjust. I would play bigteam and get smashed on by full teams and I understood it, I didn’t complain, I didn’t quit the game, I played through it and then did it again so to better myself and even though 90% of the time revenge would never pay off and I would get smashed again, I didn’t complain that the FT size needed to be cut or quit the match. I played last night for the first time in over a month, 5 friends and I joined together to play WZ, primarily because we are rusty and need practice for 12 man is coming soon. Now what I noticed from this experience, the wait time was nuts literally was about, if even over 5 minutes to find a match, even though we were getting matched against the same players for 4 game in a row, not an exact match but, names were defenitly recognized, which means one thing WZ population has dropped. It is the exact samething when WZ assault was cut from 12 to 6. Killed the population and most players moved on to something else, now I wasn’t around much after the last cut but I’m guessing the same has happened for normal WZ now. Now here’s another fact of our group up last night, when we matched up with those same groups of player we quickly learned their habits and easily destroyed them, repeatedly, being we didn’t have much to choose from in competition because the population has dropped, I was getting hate msgs as well as my friends too, idk about our 6 randoms didn’t bother to ask them, anyways we were threatened with a group that is apparently made up of sour players and in this group they all report the same player as a group, which in my opinion is complete BS, sorry if getting off topic but even though WZ was cut in FT players still get other players banned from talking in chat and msgs, players are still being sour, regardless of the changes that were made and search times to find a match is nasty. With all this being said I vote this new playlist is made permanent or they change back normal WZ FT size, probably should do the same to assault as well, cause nothing positive has came from these changes. I say agian, Still sour players, population drop, long search times and most likely a drop in players buying gold packs therefore a loss in profit/income for 343.

That is all for now, I wish everyone a pleasant day and thanks for reading.

A wonderful idea. Perhaps the logic and thinking used in this could be applied in other fields surrounding Halo’s future.

It’s ironic that 343 pushed for the cap limit in party chat to go to 12 for this game only to get rid of 12 man teams…we all know this is true since halo 5 is the only game that let’s you play 12v12 when the chat system increased…here’s a thought just like there to firefights how about a heroic warzone with a 6 man team limit and a legendary warzone that was the same as before including the AI we shouldn’t be punished with 12 man fireteam only that’s ridiculous…in fact that’s how I met my fireteam in the first place…I got farmed I lived with it and got better …343 fix this please I haven’t played in almost a month I’m thinking it’s time to give up on halo and finally let it retire

It does sound right. You require 12 players for this crap? How dumb can 343 get?!

I really wanna try Warzone Warlords

I think warzone really needs an option for solo players to match against other solo players. But player count is low for warzone so. Good concept?

You guys are right. Farming is a big issue for solo players though.

Lol true. But what about player count for those 12 man fireteams. I feel like you would start recognizing names real quick.
