I couldn’t really care less.

I think it’s much better with this squad size (2) and it’s not a fault of TC, It’s a fault of the players.
I highly doubt TC would EVER have made this adjustment if it weren’t for endless feedback about players camping and Lancering. It ruined the mode and TC must have recognised that 3-5 man squads getting rifle angles were the main cause. Not wanting to have an entire mode ruined, they have seemingly had no other option but to do this.
Certain players have ruined it for everyone else, as much as i’d like to be able to search with my friends it’s in the best interest for the mode to have a max party of 2 to prevent players ruining it. Those players are to blame, not TC.

It should be min 2 in a lobby to search for a ranked TDM.
It’s hysterical listening too the solo players justifying the fact they mad it max 2.
It’s a team based mode. It’s even in the name.
Solo players that don’t want too play as a team because of the lance ring so they can’t run around with a gnasher is the problem.
At least tag me next time 
It’s nothing to do with “wanting to run around with a Gnasher”, it’s that players don’t even use the Lancer in it’s intended role (which is support)
You’re not meant to sit there all match spraying and camping. There’s no such thing as a “support player” either, I cringe so much when I read that. A player should be able to support and slay, only being good at 1 of those 2 makes the player a bad player. Not being able to support makes you an unhelpful teammate, only being able to support makes you utterly useless when you’re the last player alive. Knowing when to move into a position where you should either support or slay is what makes you a good player. Camping as a team spraying Lancers isn’t “teamwork”, it’s pathetic.
Watch a proper competitive match, or better yet step into GB and give it a try. NOBODY plays by hiding at the back of spawn camping and if they do, they get rinsed. Trust me, if you really want to play as a team try that and please show me how you get on.
These changes combined with the new tuning changes force players and teams to utilise actual skill.
YES, it’s a team mode and YES it would be ideal if full squads could matchmake together, but they just wreck the match for players who are trying to play Gears properly.
Wtf are you going on about.
I think all the pros would disagree with you. No such thing as a support player. Stopped reading after that, waste of time.
Also I didn’t need too tag you unless you are the only solo player in the whole gears 5 playing tdm.
I’ll leave these here
I think pros disagree with you
Maybe when @UYU_Kenny reads this, he can give his thoughts too?
You just made my day
Complete melt.
Thanks for that.
You’re welcome, i’m glad I was able to educate and entertain at the same time.
Have a great day!
You proved yourself wrong in them comments.
Well played.
Where? Are we back to “stopped reading” again?
No, I read the post and it clear states what the lancer is for and that clearly shows support.
Unlucky Trevor.
I said at the very start that it’s for support, what’s your point?
Read your post and come back too me.
Okay
As I said, I highlighted from the very start that the Lancer is a support weapon.
I also said
To which you seem to have had problems reading and stated that professional players would disagree. To which I have clearly showed you 1 of the top professional players agreeing with what I said, by saying
“The role is just to hold down lanes and cause initial damage or just simply cross, so yes there sometimes is a bit of camping involved… but you should definitely be rotating to hold down different power spots on the map”
Clearly stated that you should be rotating.
What are you so confused about? This really is as simple as things can be.
(i’ll reply when I next can, I need to go now)

You said support players don’t exist too which you showed a pro player not agreeing or disagreeing with that.
Re read and come back for a 3rd attempt. Might be lucky.
I’m sorry mate but it has become way more campy that it ever was. With the huge lack of communication going on most are just sitting in spawn and can’t coordinate a push. I’ve played TDM since the game launched and this is the worst it has ever been.

I’m not even much of a Versus PVP player, but I support the idea of allowing players to squad up. GOW is, and always has been, a squad-based cover-based shooter. This is the core of what GOW is. We can debate other aspects of GOW’s identity like the prominance of the Gnasher, Lancer, different tunings, game modes, this and that, but views on these will probably vary across the fanbase. But I think what we can all agree on, irrespective of whether we’re playing Execution, KOTH, Escape, Horde, and modes from the distant past like Beast etc, GOW is a team game.

Eh… a gun is a gun. It hurts people and kills them. TC may have their own designs on how they intend for certain things to function, but the reality sometimes ends up quite different. I mean, wall-bouncing was an unintended consequence of the cover-system…

Never seen tdm more campy on gow. Bored of it now.
There’s a lot of factors to this now I think
- playing with bad players & trying to protect life’s left.
- 4v4 with still 15 life count means longer games
- no team work due to not being able to push areas and make plays together (ending in a camp fest)
- power wep placement on checkout & blood drive
Checkout without boom Shot on it like on gridiron. Blood drive hospital rooms are just camp areas for frags.

Playing solo is the only way I like to play most of the time, and TDM is my favorite game mode. So I’m going to have to disagree for the most part. It sucks that not everyone can have what they want, but I think it would be cool to have two separate TDM’s one for solos and a whole different one for people playing in squads! I like my solos and y’all like your squads so that’s the best way to do it!
