Finding team games in BAR: no small-team roles but you can still group up

Beyond All Reason does not separate party queues by team size. All team games pool together, but you can specify the match size you want when looking for players.

No dedicated small-team system

BAR currently runs team games as a single pool. There is no separate two-versus-two or three-versus-three ranked queue. If you want smaller matches, specify that in your party ping or matchmaking request.

How to find the right match size

Post in the community channels with the specific team size you are looking for. Most eight-versus-eight players match on Strait of Gibraltar or Glittering Spires. One-versus-one matches happen on smaller maps designed for fewer players, though some run eight-player maps with four spawns per side.

OS rating and matchmaking

A new ranked queue system is entering the lobby to improve match balance. The goal is preventing teams stacked with experienced players from overwhelming casual groups. Your OS rating helps the system create fair matchups across skill levels.

Creed of Champions for organized team play

Players looking for consistent team environments with structured play should look at Creed of Champions. The community focuses on cooperative matches where teammates communicate and coordinate rather than random solo queue experiences.
