Teams of 5 is fine but why Stacked teams! I played Zeta to get away from that(not the only reason but you guys understand).
Can it please go back to singles or parties of 2? Maybe even parties of 3?
Please people, vote and voice your opinion.

Parties of 3 would be my choice. If it was still 4 on 4 I would say 2.

I stopped playing Zeta once they put it back to 5v5 full teams. For me the biggest advantage of this list was a more balanced team and the 4v4 seemed to reduce weapon performance problems for me anyway. Now it's really not much different than the rest of the play lists, so i'm back to grinding medals instead of playing. There was a glimmer of greatness there for like 4 days until the weekend even when they changed it and now those changes are just rolling forward.

They really need a permanent stranded playlist.

I would be ok with parties of 3 Max but I would prefer 2 being Max

Funny how there is another thread right now about 5v5 or 4v4 for Zeta.

Parties of 2 would be ideal, and in the event of reverting back to 4v4, I would say necessary. Parties of 3 would be acceptable in 5v5 but 2 would still be better, I think.

Don't ruin one the best game type because you are too lazy to get a team. I shouldn't have to choose between who to include and who to exclude from my games. I play Gears to have fun with my friends ON Zeta. (The only game type we play.) Why should we suffer because you guys are too lazy/shy/whatever you are to find your own teammates? We shouldn't.

I don't mind the stacked teams as much as how it is now a 5v5. I preferred it being a 4v4.

I think 3 should be the max limit, hopefully they change it.

on the other hand,why should the lone/few team mates players (and this game is full of them) have to suffer because you like playing with a stacked team and they dont?

seriously,this game caters to stacked teams far too much already.particularly in QM.

party limits don't belong in Zeta....for the people that only enjoy GoW3 trough Zeta, how is it fair to be forced to play GoW3 alone or with only 1 other friend.

party restrictions should only belong in BTTE and Stranded.

again,how is it fair to force lone wolves/people without a full team (in other words,probably most people) to play against full teams and clans in QM?

matchmaking needs to be improved,or parties need restrictions in QM,or a permanent stranded playlist is needed.its only fair.

I agree that playing against stacked teams can be frustrating. (I play alone 90% of the time, i know this). I also agree that a permanent stranded playlist is needed.

but Zeta should not be that playlist. If you're going to limit something, limit something that there is plenty of. Zeta is the only playlist with these unique settings so why should it be the one with party restrictions? this needs to be handled in a manner where every type of player can have a place to call home.

I want it to return back to 4v4 with parties limited to two people... that was swanky

there should be more playlists with Zeta rules then.including one stranded or restricted one in QM.

im an above average long time Gears lone player,and i cant stand the new weapons,cheap tactics and stacked teams in general playlists.

i only played Alpha before Zeta.now its gone.

then i moved to Zeta,which was good.they then made it unlimited,and now its all parties of stacked teams and clans.like every other playlist.

where does that leave me,and others in my position?i havnt played MP in this game since Alpha vanished and Zeta changed.and im not going to until a fair stranded or party limited playlist without cheap weapons etc comes along.

QM is supposed to be for casual play.now teams/clans want to dominate every playlist on it as well as ranked.its simply unfair.

between stacked teams and Euro-sponges,theres no point my playing this game as is.wish i could still get regular games on Gears 2.

I was on another thread which asked whether I like dregular or Zeta KOTH. I said I expected to like Zeta more but seemed to be running into full parties even though that was impossible, I had to write it off as the people just carrying on well after a match (with such familiarity it seemed weird but I heard the playlist was only party 2 max so I trusted it).

Didn't realize somewhere last week this had been switched up. I'm all about a challenge, but not being dulldosed. Better playlists to go to where you're less likely to run into that, shame they didn't leave it at 2 but I'm still happy it's given some players what they wanted so I won't complain any further and just chalk it off as a gametype for other Gears but certainly not myself.
