Or is it just me? It's totally senseless to drop against 6+ man groups as a 2 man group.

My friend and me are thinkng about to drop solo because it's more fun.

I only ever play with 1 or 2 friends and I have a great time. Used to have more real life friends playing but... You know.

Yeah but we don't want to drop against such big groups. In the past we only dropped against 4 man groups and the rest of the team were lone wolfs and it was okay und funny for both sides. And why is sometimes the waiting time so extremly long? Today we waitet 10 minutes or more for a game, wtf? It isn't funny to wait longer as the game lasts.

Sorry, but going up against a full 12-man team is always going to be a possibility in CW.
If this isn't what you're looking for, perhaps the normal Group-Q is more for you.

private matches
solo queue
pub group queue

CW is intended for bigger groups. I'd look at the other queues available

I'm not talking about CW.

So you're finding that the normal Group-Queue has more full 12-man teams since CW was injected?
Sorry, I just find that strange. Take any screen-caps of the Match Screens showing Unit Tags?

Yea, same here. Especially since Russ stated the group queue is nearly a ghost town.

That's a problem many of us have been pointing out for a long time now. As a small group it can be punishing to be in the group queue. Lately though, with CW beta, it's been better because the majority of large 12+ man groups are in CW and not gang-banging the public queue.

The only salvation I can see is IF and WHEN they release the game on STEAM that the numbers jump up so dramatically that they can make a new queue for small groups of 2-4.

Link?

TBH, the group queue has lowered in quality, so technically it's easier to do better as a 2-man as long as you're willing to cooperate with everyone else.

The Group queue is not the "deep end" it used to be. That is the point of CW.

Only time you should be really running into any sizeable groups in regular que is during cease fire times (which last 30 mins). I would say keep eye those timers and expect it to happen then.

Cant see why any big groups would want to be there other than trolling outside those times.

Most of the "big" groups are playing CW

Yea... if anyone is fearing the group queue now... I'm going to call BS on that.

I honestly wonder why people fear working together and only insist about worrying/complaining about how big the opfor's premade size happens to be.

I guess working together might make someone's e-peen shrink.

Note: If what I'm saying sounds suggestive, it just happens to work out that way. ;)

You can group Que without being in CW?

Seriously, I didn't know this. As I've only linked up with the Law to drop and we have been fighting in CW... :huh:
