More and more often get snowballed, making me extremely frustrated. Is there any mechanisms that protect team of randoms and no-mics from getting matched againer companies or folks with mics?
I mean, recent warzones are becoming unplayablly hard.
my last 8 warzone games were massacres. I don’t enjoy arena, I cant get games on WZ assault so I am quickly running out of desire to play H5 anymore.
Since the TS2 release WZ is ridiculous. I stopped playing for a month only to come back and see they changed weapons around (BR) and still getting put in every game with the majority of the players way out of my league (Champ, Onyx, Diamond). I’m only Gold 2. Not fun at all. Since the game launched I rarely ever got games where the 2/3 of the players were that far above my skill level.
With any game with large scale combat, snowballing will be a thing (Warhawk for the Ps3 was infamous for this). As far as I know, H5 doesn’t differentiate between fireteams and groups of randoms in WZ matchmaking, so I’m afraid there is nothing to be done there. Only thing I can suggest is trying to sneak out of your home base and attempt to cap one of the secondary bases. If you are lucky, most of the enemy team should be too preoccupied with shelling your teammates into oblivion to notice you taking one of their bases (take either the central or farthest one, the one next to your base will be where the enemy team spawns). If successful, your team will start spawning at the new base and thus break the siege…for a time.
They always have and they always will.
We’re on what, the 4th or 5th balance change in some regard since launch to try and stop snow balling and none of them have truly worked.
Imo the only way to do it is to limit the number of banshees a team can have out at a time, and thats never going to happen. Once a great team gets the first banshee or, it’s normally game over in my experience

Get a few guys to play with, and search. I’ve played with 2 or 3 friends and we have consistently beat 12 man’s in both wza and regular wz. Communication is key. If they spawn banshees, one guy call in a laser, one an archlight, and either emps or banshees of your own. Coordinate bosses. Every mythic and legendary boss can be one hit killed, meaning you can assure the kill and not hope for the last shot.
You’ll always lose some games tho, even the best teams lose to good randos sometimes, it happens
Its all the unessessary changes that have been done over the past year. No one asks for them. They change something, people complain. Its a common theme i have noticed over & over. Yet it keeps happening?
Im still very confused as to the latest wz changes with reqs, throws my whole game off now & i dont really want to relearn a whole new strategy at this point in the game.
(i have to wait even longer now to use the H2BR, which is the only fun weapon to use anymore imo)
I will credit them with the 2pt per kill in WZ to limit farming. Thats about it tho.
But it is what it is. Nothing we can do now. Just try & play the game modes you like & ignore the others.

the unfrig has always been the elusive medal for me but with the 2 pts per kill, req changes, I feel it is now impossible.
Maybe Halo Infinite is where my fortunes turn

Yeah the sprees are tougher now for sure. Along with reqing good weapons/vehicles. By the time you can req them the game is over lol.

There’s no way to avoid this, that happens sometimes so sometimes it can’t be avoided. I think the only recommendation I can give when things like this happens is to fall back, find corners where players are less likely to rush towards, takes shots when players are rushing objectives, sadly it’s worse in Warzone Assault.
I’ll play the odd warzone match until I complete base capture and marine Slayer commendations. Other than that, zero interest in getting steamrolled. I am a solo player and not the greatest!

Yeah, get a party together and play with them. You’re always going to be at the risk of matching parties so you need your own to counter that. Other than that, 343 did have a Warlords playlist just for parties, but that had its own issues and who knows if they’ll ever bring it back.
