It just makes more sense. Do parties of 8 really enjoy playing hide and seek for an entire match? Is it fun to repeatedly spawn kill guests? I would hazard a guess that 70% of BTB teams would prefer competitive games over bloodbaths.

"But the search times would be so much longer!"

I would say there are about 10-20 full (or nearly full) parties in MM at peak times with maybe 5-8 at normal times. To combat the time it would take to find other full parties, it could put parties vs larger groups.

It's simple- a party of 8 could play:
Another party of 8
Two Parties of 4
A party of 5 and a party of 3
A party of 6 and a party of 2

Just put party restrictions in BTB already.

Read the whole post- a solution is somewhere inside.

i think its a great idea, but the people who play in parties would cry because they couldn't spawn camp as easily and it would ruin their 3.0 k/d.

PSR = (((K+A)/D)*Win%)*120
The average player's PSR = 100

I would only support this if there were to be a BTB.net playlist. Otherwise it's worthless because most teams are terrible and i wouldn't want to wait 20 minutes just to play kids who are going to quit just as fast as randoms.

Perhaps having an arena BTB situation?

No. Why? I would actually like to find and play games.

When the team I play with starts searching, all other parties stop.

Really? I'm surprised. I would figure that you enjoy spawn killing randoms. That's your reputation on the forums at least.

  • 03.09.2012 8:06 PM PDT

God, yes.

  • 03.09.2012 8:26 PM PDT

I don't want to be searching for 10 minutes just to have a casual game with some friends. Than when you do find a team, the other team either is really bad and quits instantly or is really good, no in between.

Boom I've played you.. Your parties tend to be more of slaughterfests than a casual game.

New Zealand is pretty much the best place in the world.

Sounds good and shouldn't take to long if it countiues to widen the search like the halo 3 ranking system.

The parties I throw myself in vary so much. One group I'll probably be the best player of the group, others I'll play with people who know what the -blam!- they're doing.

Also this, although would've apply so much for america and that's what the majority are discussing.

True, probably depends on the team. Still, there would be better competition if BTB had party restrictions.
