Clans, Groups And Partys Are Ruining This Game For The Individual Player

@EA

I'm not against any of this, if you want to play in clans, groups or party's - that's fine. The issue with clans, groups and party's is that lobby's tend to be over-run with them and if your matched against them and have no clans, groups or party's on your team, you can be targeted and games can end pretty quickly unless team players are on the same page.

I feel that games like this tend to be organised, controlled, targeted and it's kind of like 'cult gaming' as players are all on the same page and possibly using mics for tactical advantages. It's a nightmare for the individual player!

So, the answer to the solution would be to highlight all players in matchmaking lobby's that are in clans, groups or party's. This would provide the individual player with choice of whether they want to join that game or find another one.

  • You may have noticed that the teams typically have a prefix or suffix to their user names - pretty easy to spot. For those that don't follow a naming standard, yeah, that's tough.

    As an option, you could join a team.

  • @DarthFDG I've never really paid that much attention to this "prefix" or "suffix" to their user names and I've been playing since it's first release; minus a year because I got the bug for Call of Duty.

    Do you have any screenshots of this? Can anyone provide a screenshot? It would be helpful!

    Don't really give much thought to joining teams, I have been asked in the past though.

    PS. I'm more than likely to create a team than join one.

    I think being an individual player has great value... That's all I'm saying.
  • I've played just right around 2k hrs, almost exclusively, as an "individual player". I don't seem to have issues near to the degree that you do, if I'm inferring from your post correctly. Sure, every now and then I get steamrolled by a bunch of sweats in HvV, but hey, whatcha gonna do🤷🏼‍♂️

  • @Error1201  Every now and then!

    About 90 - 95% of the time I'm in lobby's against clans, groups and party's who steamroll all over this game.    

    Games are meant to be fun and enjoyable but this "cult gaming" is spoiling it for the individual and new player. Must I really join a team for a better gaming experience? 

    Maybe the matchmaking system is putting me in lobby's of very high standards.  

    Ever get the feeling that your playing against yourself in lobby's?

    It's a mystery and I'm monitoring this. 

    "whatcha gonna do." Well, there's actually a lot that I can do...
