Hello there,
I just played some warzone matches.
And i noticed that balancing is a really huge problem in warzone.
I think It’s not fair if every one in your team is req energy level 2 or 3 and the enemy just got req energy level 5 or 6.
The Problem is that at this point you have to fight with pistols or BR against banchees, wraiths, or Scorpions.
Every time you are killed, you will notice something like “oh I just got killed by a banchee, but I do not have the option to use a banchee too because I am just req energy Level 2”!!
Or you just got killed by a sniper rifle. And you have to fight against it with a pistol or BR (with luck).
Nearly every time I join the loosing team i notice that (because I join with req level 3 or maybe 4 against tanks, rocket launchers or snipers).
This is why people are leaving warzone matches. (IT’S FRUSTRATING).
Does anyone notice the same Issues?
I think 343 should do something to balance warzone matches more.
Changing fire team sizes from 12 to 6 is one step on the right way!
I agree to an extent. The snowball effect in Warzone shouldn’t be so insane. Like one team shouldn’t be able to be req level 7 while one is still req level 2. I played some games solo this weekend and in one game they had a phaeton out while we were all still sporting pistols at req level 2!!! How in the world is it even feasible to try and fight back. Of course everyone started quitting so me and a few other guys get hammered for a little while until they got bored and core us.
I don’t know. A team should be rewarded more than another when they’re clearly doing better, but maybe the spread shouldn’t exceed a certain amount or something. Like if one team is at req 6 the enemy team should be no lower than 3. Or if one team is at 8 the other team can be no lower than 5. Like a req gap of no more than 3 at all times or something? I’m just brainstorming really. I have been on both sides of the req level snowball and recognize it’s a little bit of issue.
People complain about balance in Warzone all the time and while I don’t think it was ever meant to be balanced something like this could certainly help a little.
I feel that a team should get an advantage if they capture bases and kill bosses. Or should i just sit back and do nothing until we’re level 7 and spam banshee ultras thanks to the enemy doing everything for me and levelling me up
99% of the time. The team with more points (when you join a warzone match) will win the match, because you don’t have a chance to fight them back with this req level gap. So yes the the req level gap between the teams should be limited on a max difference of 2 or 3 levels. Warzone is not meant to be competitive, but this problem does that warzone is not fun. Also I am joining warzone matches over matchmaking 4 to 5 times in a row in a loosing team.

> Warzone isn’t meant to be balanced. It’s meant for teamwork and req use strategy.
Now that 12 man is gone and no one knows when warlords is returning, teamwork and strategy is almost out of the question. I’ve never liked wz but it was what my friends were playing. Back when I played with teams I used to be bored because most enemy teams would still be at req 2 when in the first 6 minutes we have 5-6 teammates at req 7. Wz is flawed at its core. So I’ve had no regard for it other than a money maker. Balance is key to a teamwork oriented playlist. If reqs can be distributed better, teams could potentially be put back into the game. That’s leaving out map design and objectives, but thats for future titles.
WZ can be brutal for a team stuck at REQ 3. As a solo player myself, but I’ve found Random Weapon/Vehicle cards to come in handy to giving you and your team a chance. Just yesterday, I got a base Mantis from a lv 3 Random Vehicle card. It’s obviously a gamble and you might get stuck with a Gungoose or a Suppressor lol.
Other than that, capturing bases and distracting the enemy is really the only way to combat them. The Fortress on Stormbreak and Darkstar are huge, and you can easily find a corner to hide in. I’ve done this and have drawn 5+ enemies back to the Fortress scrambling around to find me (even better when you have Camo on lol). That’s almost half of their team NOT out there attacking your team or the AI bosses.
