Just have to see. I’ve shown them too much loyalty to be done like that.
Just wait to see what they plan. But could be a deciding factor in what I do with my time going forward.
There’s a game coming out in a few months (rhymes with Mayo) that has Slayer as a core mode from launch… In case you are interested lol.

sure take out a game mode that most the fan base plays in ranked and lot of competitive players go to -.- why was this done honestly no one asked to remove it so many people play tdm even if it’s added in quickplay who would want to play it in quickplay? Honestly it’s a competitive mode then to go to quick play where lots of new players or people just trying to chill and play go to or get a match halfway or almost finished or get with bots… that’s just not fun… as for the rest we will see how this gp goes considering it costs gp for every match you play and even more if youre ranked higher just hope it’s not more based on how much you play as it is skill because you get most points for winning rather than performance in the match it seems. I like that they are bringing back getting matched with a tier below and tier above you like in 4 think that will help out a lot with lot of problems rn.

This was my OG mode. Then Annex happened. But it was cool having the choice between a respawn and non-respawn mode back in the day. I never liked Execution because at the time I was a noob and not very good, so was mainly a Lancer player. But to be honest I think TDM was the final nail in the coffin for both Warzone and Execution. At least Dodgeball was a fun take on Execution. Don’t know if they even have that mode anymore though…

Ranks will be shown. Finally.
And parties as well.

Just don’t understand why they’re doing things nobody asks for & not doing things people ask for…
Better give some free skins or something to compensate for this bs.

mentioned on the dev Stream:
Players will be matched against other squads based on the highest Rank in your squad.
Is this how it is currently or is it a collected total of everyone’s Rank?

PSA:
TDM was removed because TC didn’t think it was competitive, they will be testing out changes in Beta playlist to make it more competitive. I’m assuming they’ll give everyone their own life pool for one, but I’m sure they’ll end up bringing it back into Ranked at some point in Operation 4.
Escalation was removed because it was highly unpopular, they want to test new changes to this gametype in beta playlist as well, so I’m guessing they’ll dumb it down to make it less complex for viewers.
Guardian is another playlist to be tested in beta playlist, they are on the fence about it atm, they want to see if it can become popular again with some tweaks/changes. Expect classic Guardian experience I presume.
If they considered TDM casual I’m sure they’ll give KOTH the same treatment come OP5, maybe they’ll just slowly make tweaks/changes throughout course of OP4 but we’ll see.
Ranking system in general is looking pretty dope though. 
-it’ll tell you how much points you are expected to earn before the match starts, so if you go down it won’t be nowhere near as confusing.
-You’ll be able to see player ranks before the match starts (which they should’ve left as was but whatevs progress)
-Players will be able to see who’s in same party

They said TDM had some issues with the new ranking system and that its not permanently removed from ranked. Im guessing they are going to have tdm in the dev playlist with their new changes.

do not remove TDM is the only thing I play with my friends.
Yeah, that’s my impression…
I’ll tell you why…
They are just OBSESSED with this “expectation of win” crap which is what the elo 1v1 system is based on… And in 1v1 competitions, that makes sense. It makes no sense at all when you look at individual ranks within a team sport - it’s pure BS, IMO. you can change the ranking of a team based on how it performed against another team, but changing the ranking of an individual player on that team, based on the team result - makes little sense. …
BUT the whole ranking system in the games is so based on that general approach, they can’t move away from it…
Plus, when they DO move away from it, people start crying about how they won the game and lost rank… As if that was some magic thing, you do nothing in the game, your team mates carry you, and you can’t go DOWN in rank? Why not… This goes hand in hand with the idea that you can’t rank up after a loss, even if you kicked serious behind in the game…
Yeah, at this point in time, the game play isn’t FUN for me, so I don’t really care about the ranking system. I don’t play the game because it’s not fun, it’s not rewarding to win, so I don’t G A F what they do re ranking…
I hope it works for you guys who still play ranked…

Yeah but if your goal as someone who “carries” isn’t to win then what is it? If you just judge a player off of score you get way less accurate results than if you based it off of wins, the reason being that even though a player may not get tons of points every game they do smart plays that essentially feed their teammates kills.
As an example anchoring gives you nothing in this game, even though its easily a game winning decision it gives you nothing, in fact you are likely to get far less than your teammates do because you are guarding a spawn whereas they are just constantly providing pressure on the objective.

Looks good, mostly.
FFA being ranked is a little iffy to me honestly. I mean, it’s a good gesture. I’m sure plenty are excited as it is very nice for predominately solo players but the mode itself is kinda too cheesy for me to consider competitive. Good players can still win w/ some consistency of course but I still think there’s too many random factors that go into it.
Anyway, if it’s going to be a thing and they’re using standard FFA maps then I think Pit should probably be removed/tweaked. Mid-hill and “pit” spawn just aren’t very fair spawns.
Also, power weapon timers need to be looked at (increased for Mace, Boom, Overkill and maybe Drop too). I don’t think they should be removed completely solely because it de-incentives camping, especially highside which is definitely going to be a thing.
I want to say they could remove the Lancer as well because honestly, the only purpose it really serves in FFA currently is to annoy someone that’s in a fight and usually ends up getting you killed. Every now and then you might catch someone running through the corridor on Core or something but even that’s pretty rare. The chainsaw does have a niche in countering the Mace but they could always just remove/replace the Mace as well 
.
Gnasher/Pistol/Smoke just seems good for ranked FFA.
TDM no longer ranked is whatever to me, I’ll play something else. I also think Gridiron could use more traditional weapon swaps/power weapons in rotation to make it more fun. Hope it has competitive settings this time around as well.

Where in this thread did you see battle royale get mentioned?
Lol, guys, I played quake 1, 2 and 3 for decade until I saw a gears game. Playing gears since 2007 and finally you made it. I have stopped. You have not made a single decision for veteran players since release of g5. What a ■■■■ fest g5 is, I just can’t believe it.
Where are all off you come, guys, did you even play your game?
If you new ranked system dont play well with tdm it means your new ranked system is ■■■■, not more, not less.
Just an old Russian joke according to all the mess you did with a g5:
The office, in the sales department everyone is fussing, moving furniture from place to place, in the middle of all this chaos is a grandmother, a cleaner, and mutters about the fact that “she just wiped it all off, and they trampled down again.” Managers begin to arrange the furniture, measure its position of each chair and table according to the ruler, compass, theodolite … Grandma cannot stand it and asks: “Guys, what are you doing then?” One of the managers explains: “Well, granny, we’ve gotten cacheflow down lately, but now we’ll arrange furniture for Feng Shui - and everything will be fine with us.” You know, dear, says the grandmother, before the Revolution, there was a brothel in this house, so when their income fell, they did not move the beds. They changed whores. "
