And by the way, what's next!? You want a solo and a duo queue? There are many people out there (believe or not) who have more than 2 friends and don't want to split in separate groups. Why not a 5-man queue? In the end we'd have 4 queues, right? But wait. How about a ranked mode in Titanfall (although competitive play is hard in battle royale in this game it might work due to squads and revive/respawn mechancs)? But ranked for which queue (solo, duo, 3-man, 5-man) or for every queue? Fortnite for example supports different game modes and maybe this game will have an alternative game mode as well in the future.
So in the end you will end up with maybe 10 different queues. This leads to long queue times (even when the concurrent player count is as high as it is now) and poor matchmaking.
Let's look what we could do if we stick to 3-man-squad. One queue for casual, one queue for ranked play and maybe one for an alternative mode. Three queues would make it possible to have a good skill based matchmaking in a battle royal (in Fortnite and PUBG there are many people who never have won a single match), with good pings for everybody and short queue times.
But instead you want to rip the heart and sould out of this (awesome) game because... you don't want to play and speak with other people.

@firebird-gabr1eL Did I said that everyone MUST play solo/duo? I'm talking about giving players an option to do so.

@firebird-gabr1eL I agree with a lot of what you're saying, that players shouldn't be down the Devs throats about implementing something they don't want to is completely unfair, this is their game and they should be able to do what they want with it, without people demanding changes but none of that changes the fact that this is a Battle Royale game. With that being said that means any game that jumps into this insane genre that is Battle Royale have to be very diligent in what the other successful BR games have done to stay successful because this is the most popular and competitive video game genre out right now and has an absurd following. Which, very obviously is what Apex is trying to attract and hold on to as many of these people from this giant player base that they can.
Unfortunately these players are coming over from the other BR games (Things like Fortnite) and expecting there to be a Solo and Duo playlist because that's the norm and that's what satisfies everyone. It's not the only reason but and I do want to stress it's a huge part of why the Battle Royale genre is so enormous because it appeals to every type of player. There's players that love everything and there's some that only like playing Solo or Duo and limiting that or cutting that out as an option completely will sadly make the game not for everyone. From a player who doesn't care about playing Solos and just enjoys the game for what is it, none of that matters but from a Business stand point it and the genre that they're trying to appeal to, it REALLY does matter.
I will say Respawn made such an amazing and creative version of a BR game with Apex, probably the best since Fortnite was released but they didn't create the Battle Royale fad, they don't get to choose a lot of things that made so many people love this genre and that's just the truth. Anyways I'm not going to be that guy that says the games going to die because I don't think it will completely, they made a fantastic game that will definitely keep a decent fan base with them. But I would think 2-3 weeks down the road, once the all the hype dies down if Respawn decide not to implement new playlists, a huge portion will default back to their competition

I see so many silly comments. Starting from the fact that "your problems, since you have no friends," and "look at the Rainbow Six, etc." Rainbow Six, Overwatch, LOL etc - They are not games in this genre. Stop giving them an example.
Enough to write such nonsense.
The player must have a choice whether he wants to play alone or not. You say that then someone should I go to another game? Can you suggest a good alternative? With good optimization, with good network code. With pleasant shooting, character movement, etc.? Oh yes. This game should be free. For that matter. Can you show any of this in other games?
PUBG - has a lot of problems. Less responsive management, poor optimization, p2p game etc.
Fortnite ... Damn, I want to play shooter, not minecraft. I want to win at the expense of my shooter skill, and not at the expense of the ability to build towers. Besides, there is no first-person view.
You say "Solo will kill this game"? What the hell are you saying? How should Solo mode ruin your teamplay experience? From the fact that a person can enter the game and practice his own skill - the game will not become less original. Besides. Why can not you understand that the introduction of SOLO mode will make this game more popular?

The game is great but sometime you just wanna play by yourself or if you have a buddy that plays u just wanna destroy everyone with him. Having noob teammates every time sucks..

>There is no reason a game such as this cannot be teamplay-only. You don't see a Battlefield game introducing solo-queue, why? Because it's a team game. The same might be true here, and it's entirely up to the devs
omg
How long do I need to repeat that this game is irrelevant to compare with projects that are NOT BattleRoyale? It does not matter what is in other "tactical" games.
It is important that there are other BR projects, and what is missing from this.

I agree 100% , the game has so much potential , but I believe it won't go far without solos and duos.
I don't quite understand how they don't see it, but I'm sure they'll add that, just hoping that goes out soon.
