What's up with...

…being matchmade into a WZ game in which my team is already at req level 5 and defending the core because the enemy team has all three bases!?
I never signed up for that! o_0

Literally matchmade into a farming #salty

Welcome to the current state of Warzone! Where certain spartan companies ruin the fun of others just for an armor set.

What they don’t seem to realize is that anyone seen wearing Achilles will be known as a player that farmed kills and spawn trapped others.

This is why I’m sticking to Arena until something is done about it.

Its turning into farming because achilles thats how u earn hard stuff like that sadly but i dont understand y they just dont play the game…no they gotta farm and they do join in progress if a team is far behind or down some players to try to even it out

I bet you most people won’t even notice/care about the armor set they are wearing.

I had this happen as well. I used a victory boost and was put into a game where we were 3 capped and the enemy team was pushing on our base. We lost about 4 mins later and I lost the boost. It is really annoying.

Same here. In fact, I think I’ll stay out of Warzone until they make drastic changes to it. It already had some serious flaws in it before this race for Achilles started. I’ll stick with the tried and true BTB.

BTB sounds pretty good right about now. le sigh

that armor is going to be the new armor of people that suck.

The system doesn’t prevent spawn killing, and with the astronomical commendations needed for Achilles it will likely continue until at least the major companies get it.

If anything though, you guys should try and join a company. The reason we are able to do this so easily is because no one makes an effort to stop us. Perhaps if you solo players took the 5 minutes to join a company and put up an actual fight, we’d have to switch up our strategies.

Otherwise, don’t blame the companies for simply playing better and being more organized than you. We want our commendations done, and coring the teams that can’t fight back within 5 minutes of the game starting isn’t going to finish them.

Is the legit way playing solo?
Or is it finishing games as quickly as possible and not even GETTING THE REQS REQUIRED for certain commendations?

If you look at any other online game with challenges such as this, or even at MMORPG’s where grinding is needed to level up, you will see people doing the same exact thing for hours on end to finish specific tasks.

Halo 5 commendations are no different.

I just need a cupcake to counteract my saltiness right now

Your company is PartyUpGaming.

No wonder you guys are on the defensive right now, since it’s the PUG companies that are in the spotlight.

I wonder what will happen when two of the major Spartan Companies match each other, that battle will go down in history.

Yeah it sucks, yesterday i aparently went up against a top teir warzone team, naturally me and my team lost. Its was frustrating to get spawn camped as the entire enemy team went for just kills, it really ruins the game.

As much as many of you don’t want to hear it React has a point.

Farming and delaying the inevitable in an objective-based match has been happening as far back as I can recall in Halo Matchmaking.

There are men and women begging for more company members. Most of the Xbones came shipped with a Mic. Its fairly simple to band together, meet some new mates, and give it a go yourselves.

If that’s what Achilles means then I’ll wear it with pride. Why? It’s the only armor in the game that is EARNED.

A Monitor on the forum actually voiced his / her opinion on the matter, saying in reply…

“There is absolutely NOTHING saying that you HAVE to farm kills if you are playing in a full team in Warzone in order to have a good time, and while it might be fun for you and yours farming kills, pulling out all your big guns, do you think it’s fun for the OTHER team? Because with this attitude, it seems like you don’t care at all if they have a good time, as long as you get your REQ points, Commendations, and time to play with ‘big guns’.”

Not necessarily. The Helioskrill armor is earned through completing all the Halo CE to 4 campaigns on Legendary.

EDIT: On an added note, it’s HOW you earn the armor that matters. If a spartan company earns the armor through means of not causing any harm to other players, then congrats to them.

But any company that earns the armor through means of exploiting weaker players or using practically the only casual playlist to earn easy kills (aside from BTB) may not see the same respect among the community.
