I play BTB more than anything else, and I really think that there needs to be some party restrictions. Randoms vs. a team of 8 is getting more and more frustrating. Usually I'm on the randoms side, which always sucks, but it can't be fun for parties when not playing teams at your level.

Should BTB have a MM system similar to squad slayer?

/infinite search times for parties

There's always room for you, If you want to be my friend.

No. Search time would be slowed too much.

This is stupid. Why should I be punished in a social playlist because I want to chillax with friends.


-blam!- retarded

i just think if you play with a group of other 7 guys, you should get paired up against another 8, not a group of 8 against randoms. its no fun a lot of the time

They should have a search feature like squad slayer. But we (teams of 8) shouldn't be penalized because we have friends and people to play with.

I'm sorry, by party restrictions I meant what squad slayer have. You misunderstood me.

Yes party restrictions would save randoms that search alone, but they would also mean BTB parties can only ever get a game against another full party and there are very few of those searching at one time.

Since when? I've been dealing with full parties every other game for eternity.

There's usually only 5 competent To8 and a few lesser skilled ones, during most of the day. With games being long, they're are horribly spread out.

It's called BIG TEAM Battle for a reason.

Well then I must be super unlucky. They always destroy my randoms while I go like +6.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

BTB is meant to try find you an equal team, but I am always in a team of 8, and many times we match against randoms.

It only sucks if they quit.

Searching in teams of 8 is kind of the point of BTB. Since the gametype encourages the use of vehicles, it would make sense to work as a team when playing, otherwise its just a chaotic rush to see who grabs what.
