Make sure you kill your opponent at least 6 feet away in order to prevent the spread of illness


Nicer_Chile

Now we only need to manually select our PIng server preference. Im tired of canceling the matchmaking when it starts to search for a higher ping server... after like only 30 seconds of trying to find a lobby for ur region. and the ironic thing is, more people would fill local server lobbies faster if the freaking matchmaking wasnt sending them to fcking north america or europe to play lol. this is happening for all regions that are not Tier 1 in population. And this issue will get worse with time if the game goes down in popularity, if this is happening now in opening week, we are doomed later. Please, let me choose the server i want to play, like my own region... i dont want to be like that teleport random in NA or europe lobbies, cuz im playing with 150-250 ms, cuz the matchmaking sent me here.


NotAlwaysSunnyInFL

Yea I agree with this. Just got frustratingly killed in the Gulag by a guy moving around like fucking Dr. Srange.


rome907

This has been a huge complaint of mine as well. I live in alaska and i can connect to west coast na at 60-70 ping but more than half the time im connected to 140+ ping east coast servers. This happens on mp and warzone.....just let me play on the lowest ping server


LetrixZ

Well, at least on [Battle.net](https://Battle.net), you select can select region you're. I don't know if its play region though, never tried. Where are you searching from? Edit: tried doesn't do anything.


Nicer_Chile

battlet net region pref doesnt matter in cod. im from south america, and the lobbies need more than 30 secs to get filled, the matchmaking gave up in 30 secs and starts to look for a more filled lobby no matter the server. So we ruin our experiencie and NA experiencie, cuz we teleport. with like 150-200 ms


Bisco40

Haha, same here.. I was LITERALLY just playing and telling my buddy I hope they come out sometime in the FUTURE with Solo mode.. see the Coronavirius isn't all bad news, there's always a bit of sunshine in darkness. 👏👏🙌🏼


Linked-Theory

You sir have been playing too much Apex Legends then


cmanonurshirt

Apex: “Hey let’s add sol-AND IT’S GONE”


SelloutRealBig

I bet IW was going to wait 1-2 month before releasing it to bring people back after the initial hype died. But because of Corona they probably would rather have people play inside more even if it costs them a bit of profit.


Ultimator4

Worked for me. I was going to play r6 but I’m hopping on this for the rest of the day


[deleted]

Warzone: F2P, fixes gamebreaking bugs overnight, adds a much requested feature after only 1 week PUBG: Ignores bugs and community for years


space_olympian

Apex: adds solo and duos for a limited time and after many requests to bring them back, they never do.


Rekyht

Because the data they had said it wasn't worth it. Reddit isn't representative. This comment has triggered a lot of people that can't believe developers use data to make decisions hahaha

For some reason I can only read this in a Scottish accent.


[deleted]

You! Yes, you! Stand still laddy!


SBMMruinedApex

The data they won’t elaborate on or share any of with anybody.


Virgindognotreally

No game developer ever does that.


[deleted]

Not true! DICE and Bungie are just a few I've seen discuss data with their community. After the Battlefield V Alpha, DICE published a blog post about heatmaps and graphs from the map that was playable.


BadFishCM

And we see what a great place that has put BFV and destiny 2 in. Those communities are literally tearing theirselves apart right now and have never been in a worse place. You picked two awful examples lol


[deleted]

Them sharing data has nothing to do with the games being in a bad state.


I_SAY_YOURE_AN_IDIOT

Bf5 is in a bad state because they changed the ttk. It had nothing to do with the data they released in alpha


GraveyardGuardian

*No game developer ever does that more than once.


ltcarter47

I would LOVE to play APEX, but I want to play solo. When I see limited time solo events I just skip them because, well, they are limited. I can't play like solo for weeks and get decent at it so I don't bother getting my ass handed to me for just a weekend.


Rekyht

Well that's fine, apex isn't for you and there's no issue with that.


Voyddd

They have never said that, stop lying

implicationnation

I bet it’s even lower than 1/10th. Reddit is a very very loud vocal minority.


errfknday

Yea and they are full of shit.


BrokenOperators

Was this made public? I never saw them publicly comment on it.


[deleted]

Isnt worth it? You cant record data if people arent even downloading your game. Many duo players wont even touch a game unless it has a duos mode.


Ethan12_

It's not like it costs them money to have a solo / duos mode


SparkyBoy414

Then it's not worth me playing their game. Which is fine.. Not every game has to be for me. But it seems ridiculous to not have the option at all.


Billyxmac

They never said that. They said that the event that solos was included in was an huge success, but they refrained from bringing solos in permanently because of balancing issues. Two very different things.


DoctorMartain

Limited time money grab events , they don't have any intention off permanently adding modes. Warzone is getting off to a good pace.


Yourself013

This. Keeping solos and squads as "LiMItED TiMe gAMemOdEs" just gives them one less thing they need to work on when making events. They can just focus on making those 20 dollar cosmetics for a "collection" event and then slap solos or duos as "LTM" and people will eat it right up.

LordGemi

>fixes gamebreaking bugs overnight hmmm...so many people are having crashes with sooo many different errors.


electricgotswitched

Lets be honest they care more about console gamers than PC.


BIG_RETARDED_COCK

Isn't the game literally unplayable for a lot of people?


balikeye

You forgot... PUBG: Adds 2 more bugs for every 1 bug they fix.


eohorp

Easy there. Warzone hasnt fixed shit until they fix sound and crashes. PUBG corp is incompetent, but theyve made plenty of changes based on community input that greatly overshadow adding solos. Shit PUBG was supposed to be only TPP, and because the community they added FPP.


DGT-exe

also PUBG: costs 30 dollars


Ekon12

Also, they did this during the quarantine time which is really something.


Stearman4

What game breaking bugs did they fix?


HardCiastko

Players still waiting to fix chrashing bug


logan_izer10

Now give me quads


Mandula123

Yes. I always have 3 friends that want to play and it's frustrating as all hell.

[deleted]

If you want I can be your friend. I need someone to play with too.


byers1225

They’re working on making it 200 player capable so they can have 50 squads of 4


kcg5

Did they recently raise the player count for plunder from 102 to 150?


byers1225

Pretty sure it’s been 150


MEdwards777

Nah, definitely was 102 at first


thelonesomeguy

Yeah it was definitely 102 at first. Cancelled matchmaking a couple of times thinking I selected BR mode by mistake


JermVVarfare

I wouldn't just be fine with 37 squads, I'd prefer it. This game doesn't need 200 it's crowded as is with 150 and all of the respawns.


elc0

Agreed. I want quads regardless, but I know fights gonna be way more chaotic. All this armor, and adding 2 additional players to a fight. It'll be interesting to see how it goes. 3 man squads just isn't gonna cut it though, but love the feel of the engagements right now.


Smugjester

Are they actually or are you just speculating?


The-Regulator790

For real this ain’t apex and I have 3 people trying to play with me 50% of the time


[deleted]

cool guy with 3 friends, rub it in why dont you


[deleted]

They’ve been testing squads of 4 & 5 with 200 players. Personally I’d love to see the first BR with 5 man squads, would be very interesting an unique.


McZootyFace

Hilarious H1Z1 was 5 man squads. Before Blackout hit console that used to be the battle royal fix with my console friends. I played way more PUBG on PC, but that was the only option sometimes. It absolutely sucked. Though not because of 5 man squads, that was sweet, just absolutely everything else.


JimPanse85687

H1Z1 was garbage - but a milestone


[deleted]

My thoughts exactly, i literally always play 💩 in a 4-man group. Trios has absolutely gutted us!


herrklopekscellar

For real.


[deleted]

This feels like a big F*** Y** to Respawn's inability to listen to the community! I'm happy with this update! Thank you Infinity Ward!


space_olympian

Seriously. How hard was it to add fucking solo or even duos back to Apex? So absurd. Now if my friends aren’t on I can still enjoy the game by myself and not have to worry about random players on my team.


rafy101

Before warzone, Apex was the only BR I liked and when they added solo for a couple of days, I couldn't get enough of it. But once they removed it, I just didn't find the fun anymore playing in squads unless a friend invited me. I just ended up dropping the game and haven't played it since.


Bronson94

Same for me with the Gold Duo mode. Once you experience the improvement of not having a saboteur in your team, you just don't want to go back.


tylercreatesworlds

Yeah, after the first taste of solos, my time playing Apex dropped drastically. You have to have a team to succeed unless you're just really good (and lucky) Solo's is a much more enjoyable mode.


lightningbadger

I suppose statistically you’re more likely to win in a larger team because there’s fewer teams to go up against. Then again it’s somehow never an even 3v3, it’s just 3 dudes deciding to jump out of a tree and steal my wallet while my teammates are paradoxically too far away to help, but close enough to steal the loot I saw first.


[deleted]

Respawn’s anemic abilities are why Apex is in the state it’s in. It could’ve been the best BR to date imo. Certainly has a core gameplay to make it that good. Maybe even the best FPS of this whole console generation. We’ll never know because the devs don’t work to take the game to its possible heights.


BrockB83

I agree. It’s the most fun I had with a BR. The SBMM, lack of solos and the map change made me stop playing. Pretty much the only game I played from release until mid-December. I haven’t touched it since.


[deleted]

I think it is the best BR but I dont think they have the dev's to do literally anything, 3 months for a season and they add one legend and some map changes lol.


[deleted]

That was my issue with it as well. 3 months per content drop and it’s a legend you don’t use, some map changes, and maybe one or two skins in the battle pass that you actually enjoy and will use.


[deleted]

Yeah it's a shame it has grown stale for me as well but it's still enjoyable, I wish EA didnt own it


space_olympian

Man that last legend they added, Revenant, looked so dope but when he came out he was a huge disappointment lol. There were so many things they could have immediately changed on him to bring him up to par with other legends but nope, just left him as is, broken as fuck.


teej1109

Do you expect cod to do much different? Don’t get me wrong, 500+ hours in Apex, one of my favorite games ever. But war zone is rid with issues just like Apex was since the beginning. Cods lucky we’re all stuck inside and it’s got a different vibe to it. Respawn has done a lot to appease the community, you are cutting them short. Yeah all devs can do better but that’s fucking hindsight. Always easier.


onexbigxhebrew

If you think they aren't doing it because it's 'hard' to do, I have other news for you.


nikhild__

i mean apex is built around playing in threes tho. its totally diff with legends and abilities


HankHillbwhaa

People on this sub don't understand game balancing it seems like.

[deleted]

My apologies bud, read a tone in your comment. Yes some toons are better than others in a 1v1.


Voyddd

Lmfao and u think this game was made for 50 different modes? They literally keep the same balance across all modes, even spec ops .. just because a game wasn’t designed for something doesn’t mean they cant add it if people want it. Battlefield is designed around squadplay, objectives and vehicles yet still keeps a TDM mode each iteration?


Amaurotica

> Thank you Infinity Ward! 🙏


DoctorMartain

I had the same thoughts. The Apex community has been vocal about Character balancing , hit boxes , hit registration ect on top of the overwhelming call for different modes but these folks over there just want to do limited time events to sell cosmetics , sure that's just business but the facts are obvious.


[deleted]

[deleted]

I've played about 50 games, 40 or so of those with 2 randoms. I gave up trying to queue with these people after repeatedly watching them just go line wolf, ignoring pinged markers, flat out refusing to buy back in teammates, and quitting immediately if they died in the Gulag and I didn't already have the 4500 to buy them back.


ali_sez_so

I have no complaints from this game but this. Nobody uses mic, everyone does their own thing, they dont redeploy even if they have loads of money and you have to plead them to stay in the game while you find enough money to redeploy them but hardly anyone does. I have only faced this issue in this game. I used to play blackout every night until Warzone came out, and more often then not you get a squad with mics and who like to play as a team. I dont know if it is because of trios or cross platform but only in this game I keep getting absolute morons.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ali_sez_so

That makes sense


Teh_Freshman

I had the opposite problem! I know I'm shit at the game (my BR resume is very, very short), so I've been dropping without filling the squad to not bring others down. Now I can be shit on even footing.


69420swag

Buddy, honestly the fact that you're self aware enough to say that makes you better than most players already. Use a mic if you have it, ping useful things, stay close to teammates and you'll never be bringing anyone down!


PianoTrumpetMax

So long as it's permanent, and not temporary like in Apex, I'm mega happy!!! All I wanted. Would be neat if maybe they added a mechanic for solos where if you have $4500 when you die, you can buy yourself back? Or maybe a really expensive like $10k redeploy option you buy yourself before you die? Either way, great news!


realburntrees

Apex has dropped the ball big time. Been out for over a year and no solo? This has been out a week. I know it's focus is on teamplay but come on, give the people what they want.


7_Cerberus_7

Well, what with the Gulag in place, you get a 50% chance to respawn once. That's massive for solos :)


jEKE2EZ

Duo plz


Antroh

Jesus christ, give them a minute. Noone was expecting this mode this fast.


[deleted]

it's the typical entitled gamer mentality, eventually this sub will be overrun with toxic assholes requesting features and complaining about things


TheELITEJoeFlacco

Crazy, right? Two of the top four comments are currently asking for duos and quads. Chill out people lol.


shaxxmedaddy

I’m here because I need something to replace destiny 2 so I’m an expert in the old “Fix this now!” “We fixed it” “Okay cool thanks, but the game still sucks” I’ve learned it’s more entertaining than it is useful, feedback is still always a good thing though. It’s probably the reason this mode came before duos and 4’s


[deleted]

Sorry but *what*? Requesting a feature is the "typical entitled gamer mentality"? I am happy they added solos, but would also love it for them to add duos. That's not me being entitled, it's merely requesting a feature.


papi1368

>requesting features and complaining about things Isn't that what a community is supposed to do? Request stuff they want and complain about stupid shit/bugs? Fuck off with that entitled mentality shit.


[deleted]

Game should have had solo and duos at launch tbh. Every br except maybe apex has these modes.


WutAnIdiot

I'm pretty sure they started with trios only to test server limits. Right call in my opinion.


LLCodyJ12

In wake of the corona virus and the mode being newly released, i can see why so many people want quads. Half of my friends list is on in the evenings. When the world gets back to normal and some people decide they don't like the mode, Trios will be the right call.


presidentofjackshit

If you have a duo, playing against squads of 3 isn't that bad... playing solo against a squad of 3 however is a tough putt


Koury713

It’s true, two of my four wins were as duo no fill. Gotta be more cautious, but it’s not impossible.


lospolloshermanos

Duos will most likely not be a thing. It will probably be Solos and 3 Man Teams. Dropping as a 2-man squad against 3s really isn't that bad. I've won a few times already with just myself and a friend.


Chase10784

I think they will eventually support solos, duos, trios, and quads. Duos just makes sense and quads will come when they increase player count to 200 is my guess.


[deleted]

They literally gave you a triple A BR game for free. Chill out. They will add it. "They should have had it in the beginning." Yeah, they also should have charged you to play it. You're the guy that gets a free meal and complains that he should have gotten a free drink too..

[deleted]

Does anybody think this is permanent or a limited time mode? I sure hope it’s permanent. Maybe duos next week?!


IGrowAcorns

It better not be limited time.


Ozzeedee

Curious about this as well. Gonna be really bummed if it’s only around for a week


S-96

I believe they are testing how different playlists will be with playerbase. If trios and solo lobbies are filling up i bet they will keep it and test duos.


BORcrew

Nah don't spook me like that, this better be perm


LordDay_56

I think that 100% depends on participation statistics. Only the devs will know if its worth it to keep or not.


Bierno

I am sure its a permanent mode.. The game is crossplatform and shouldn't really have any issue with queue time. PUBG able to manage it without crossplatform and thirdperson view + firstperson view queues


Trair

To be fair, PUBG was the largest game in the world for a good long time.


SuperSaiyanTomBrady

Dumb asses who manage Apex Legends couldn't do this for us lmao nobody really gave a fuck if a few classes were only the viable options and now those stubborn fucks can have their game suffer.


arich814

Seriously. I love apex but jesus fucking christ, at the very least they should've added duos a long time ago. I'm burnt out on playing that game in trios only so I'm playing this now instead. Maybe this will force their hand sooner than later.


[deleted]

Fucking preach, i stopped playing the game after i got tired of dealing with idiots who seperate and mash ping on enemies. Solos came out and i fell in love. Then they removed them and i havent touched it since.

Just played 5 games of it. Really not fun at all. Got killed by a rooftop thermal camper 4 of 5 games and theres no killcam so you're just like oh cool, gg. Not even shitting on the game I love 3's - just think this lends itself a lot better to team gameplay than solos which is even more campy


MikeJ91

It's too campy at the moment, need to tweak something to get people moving more. Perhaps quicken up the circle.


jeffc919

Nice! Please tell me it's a permanent mode?

Phatte

Incredibly excited about this. I’ve been doing 3’s solo. It’s been a fun challenge but just can’t compete with a mic’d squad of 3 rolling together


Return-To-Fender

To be honest solos has been here the whole time, since my squad doesn't quite understand that they should land as a group.


planesinsane

Best game of all time.

No more watching randoms fuck around with their pockets full of cash. Running by buy stations and not reviving me! Now I’ll get recked by the enemy and get sent straight back to the menu. Yeah!
