This is quite honestly one of the best replies I’ve ever seen. Thank you.

I think @TC_Clown it summarizes two things:
-
The true objective of Gears of War .
-
A brief description of a job offering for a Mexican Cartel " LOS ZETAS " Enforcer man .

Do free for all. Everyone whose hit onyx in pst OP is getting masters there…
It’s along grind… but I’ve seen some bad players hit masters there when they never hit masters in any op
@OxSIDExEROUS I miss my coordination too… I didn’t have a lancer wall but I didn’t have bots… so I’d link up with people that just knew when to do what… TDM only works if everyone works together…
you have that Rambo on the team it ruins strategy because now you baby sit the guy & he pushes in the most dangerous spots… I’m good but not that good to babysit sometimes…
I had no problem with stacks on TDM… king it was tedious because matches lasted a while … I stack when I play king, never going in that mode unstacked because I know how it is without a stack…

any movement on this or is TC standing firm on this ruleset?
Something along these lines was said in last night’s dev stream ‘were going to continue analysing the data as its too early in the season to know if it’s working or not’
In other words we aren’t shouting loud enough!!!

the real answer would be the mode population numbers. I can’t see it being higher in any situation.
I’m actually hoping the overall numbers for the game took a hit and they finally see how stupid this idea was.
None of my friends want to play Gridiron or KOTH, they’re actively asking wtf TC is doing and why there’s only 4v4 and limits on party size. It’s been a decrease in playtime across everyone I play with.

This is irrelevant if more people are playing more often. It is about playtime the longer people stay playing the more likely they are to buy stuff from the store. If they lose a couple hundred players that only play for a couple of hours a day but gain 100 that play all day then they are going to stick to this model.
They are trying to get people playing against and with similarly skill players which is the objective of the mode.
Gears party’s and practice with your friends is intended for quickplay modes where rank is only there in the background to find other players close to you and your friends skill level.
Every player should be able to earn their own rank without the help of a dedicated team. If people are unhappy not getting easy wins because their team helps them to get there then perhaps ranked mode is not for them and they should stay in quickplay modes. Where wins are easy most of the time anyway.
TDM has a dedicated playlist there now that even lets you stack 4 players. If people are playing for fun then this should not be a problem. If they are playing ranked to get diamond and master weapon skins then they are playing for the wrong reason.
The skins where supposed to be a fun bonus to encourage players to play ranked games. The skins turned into a greed fest where some people paid other people to climb the ladder for them just for a skin.
Ranked mode is to match players with other players close to your skill level it is not about getting to the top spot on the list. If the top spot on the list is that important to some people then those people are the cause of the system breaking down.
This breakdown occurs when they rank up to those top spots then start playing a different account that is ranked lower to climb the ladder again getting easy wins by frustrating low ranked opponents that should not be playing against these guys.
This is the biggest reason people quit mid match leaving their team high and dry to get demolished by some guy that should be ranked way higher than they actually are because they might lose rank on their main account so they play against lower skilled opponents on smurf accounts.
We’ve tried to make a team for Gridiron but the wait times for games are horrendous and were always playing the same 1 or 2 teams, usually on rubbish ping too. The mode must’ve died off.
We just need to stay alive… they’re bound to notice …
I used to Stan TDM.
Now I just play less of it cause it plays strange as hell
And the ■■■■■■■ teammates who eat up lives and can’t duel with the gnasher save their life. That ■■■■ got old, so does the enemy team camping right outside spawn.
I used to be a high diamond player, now I don’t want to bother getting out of silver.

Sh**, I can’t even force myself to even get Silver 1 and I’ve been a diamond player throughout this games life. Even as far as to not even completing this tour. Im at a snails pace over these decisions.

get rid of checkout on TDM. Map plays like ■■■■ because one team just has to set up one by sniper, two by shock, and one by nades and you’ll force them to spawn on the side and they’ll only have one way to go mixed with crossing and snipe. There’s no way to win. If you’re on the opposite end of the camping.

I’ve gotten frustrated with the amount of camping outside of spawn that TDM enables.
Foundation, Canals, Bloodrive on both sides you can force them in one direction from their spawn. While you stuck up on power weapons from both sides. Since you now can completely stop them from picking it up.
Introducing a spawn protection 20 second timer after a set amount of deaths near the spawn would fix this ■■■■. Punish the braindead players who abuse this ■■■■.
Camping doesn’t take skill.
Yeah , I hate when teams camp.
They need to balance that out. Maybe add a drop shot on one side permanently to combat the sniper.

Assuming it’s sarcasm, I’m referring to when people camp right outside the spawn on Bloodrive and you literally have no option of leaving your spawn because they’ll now have both grenades, Snipe, and drop or BuzzKill. And cover the stairs leading to snipe and the hallway to the right.
It’s a serious problem for that map.

I’ve finally gotten around to playing TDM ranked.
Hit onyx. Probably will hit diamond if I squad up with someone.
Otherwise it’ll probably take like a week

Ima bout to hit D2 but I’m sure I’ll get some bad randoms soon.
Maybe they’ll fix tdm in op5, I’ve heard they might but wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t…
Been playing king of the hill lately… since that’s the only mode me & my friends can squad up other than grid iron…
Still upset they took away the stats for tdm since I worked my way up.
It’s like I don’t exist in tdm.
Can add me if you need help. If I’m free too
