It will be interesting to see how it plays in ranked with teams of 5.
The devs mentioned nothing is set I stone, and they are looking for improvements for the mode.
I guess I’m okay with people going for eliminations to end rounds quickly or just grabbing the flag when it’s 4v1 to score instead doing on a hunting match for the last guy
Warzone rules are that you can kill downs from distance, Exe rules require kills up close.
Escalation is s newer game, and its rules are based on a modified warzone rule set.
You can play with stacks right now. It doesnt have social match rules with only 3 people.
Im just not a fan. They need to make the flag more valuable to make it a good mode in my opinion.
1 match we played on foundation we were down to 2v3 with the other team having the extra player and they camped their endzone with the flag and 1 of them had boom. They could have easily scored a touchdown
This is so true.
Being the leader basically means you can’t really do much most of the time & it’s boring AF.
I mean Guardian has always kind of been like that but if you are playing a good team it wont be boring.
Playing in a team is only way it wouldn’t be boring because you can use the map to make call outs and co-ordinate pushes,
Apart from that, I can understand otherwise.
I mean playing Gears solo isnt fun no matter what mode your playing lol
Sometimes have no choice when game won’t find matches in squads.
Hey since Gridiron is coming to ranked let me ask this:
Does the current Gridiron playlist count for the Weekly Events medals?
Agreed, though FFA is an exception, but that’s objective if you don’t like FFA
Please take a minute to sign this petition to bring back Guardian
I dont think so, Ive been playing a ton of Gridiron, gotten 4 of the 6 medals for that (last one is impossible til they do the update they mentioned… and the other I find hard forcing myself to be a muskrat lol) but haven’t gotten anything in the versus event section
Thank you. There is no clear communication on when an event will count as a weekly versus event.
I gave gridiron a chance, it’s fun but gets old quick. Need guardian back ASAP! Only mode that really felt like there was some strategy involved. Reducing it to what it’s become is just utter nonsense. Not to mention that when you join a ranked game of anything it seems like you can’t even get a solid match without the other team quitting, and I mean the whole team.
Ya like I said in the dev stream Id be ok with it being in quickplay prefer Ranked, but I can tolerate quickplay if it had its own list option… as much as I hate KOTH, I can unbiasedly admit it’s more popular, so having it in same playlist is a shot in the foot, why I don’t even do that playlist,
Not sure, everything about this update as far as the playlists go just makes no sense. And adding it to quick play is just bogus, every new person to this game plays TDM and they all go to quick play. It all but assures us a lengthy way to actually get guardian, and then when you get it you better hope that there are other guardian players there to keep it active.
you can now leave matches in the option menu for ranked? sha and monkey’s may…
can you even get banned anymore? maybe that’s why nobody plays everyone was banned before lol
Gridiron has to be put into Ranked ASAP. It has the potential to be extremely fun and competitive but it’s totally ruined by the amount of quitters. Can’t think of many matches that have started or ended 5v5. It’s usually 1 v 3, 3 v 5, etc. With an average of two players straight from game pass. Matches are usually 14-0s or end due to an entire team quitting. This is the one thing that is stopping me from playing it.
As for VS in general, the removal of Guardian and recent weapon tunings has all but pushed me into Horde exclusively. The Lancer is far, far too powerful now with its magazine increase, active reload time decrease and flashbang removal. KOTH is a bloody nightmare on almost every map with these MLG legit 1337 (leet) lancer setups. As for the Gnasher… well, I don’t like it. Decreasing the gib range was IMO one the best changes made to Gears 5, but now that’s been axed. Why? Now we’re back to people bot walking and getting one shots from stupid amounts of distance.
I take it you didn’t have much fun tonight?
