Horde needs a Forces of nature option

[THE MITCH BEAST]

Hello,
I find it extremely frustrating that I have paid for and downloaded the Forces of Nature map pack and I have never yet had the option, when playing horde, to play on one of the new maps!
I am a die hard Gears fan and horde is my favorite thing to play. I just wish like on standard versus the horde had a forces of nature option so I can enjoy the new maps to their full potential.

-Thank you

Edit: I added a poll for people to vote for map map pack options in horde. Horders let's get our voices heard!

I do agree with this. Mostly for the people who adore Horde.

[THE MITCH BEAST]

Yes, it's just hard for me to understand why horde is such an afterthought. There is a huge horde fan base so why not put in some effort to improve it where there can be easy improvements.

I agree. Where is the Horde on map packs option like in Gears 2? I'm guessing maybe not enough people bought the new maps for them to ever come up in Horde? I don't know. For some reason they never show up, and I play a lot of Horde, but i'm getting kinda tired of old maps over and over.

I agree 100%, i've been so lucky to play aftermath in a public horde match but eventually everybody left (not suprprised)

You should add a poll.

Good idea, I have added a poll.

First off, this forum is for technical issues.

And.
The FoN playlist in VS is just for people with FoN, it isn't only FoN maps.

Also, Epic stated that they didn't want to divide the Horde players (making match making time longer)
--so they don't have multiple playlist in horde (or quickmatch horde)

If you want to play on a FoN map, try playing with a group who all have it.
--people on the forums are searching for horde games all the time.

I will move this thread, my apologies. But i think that the community should have a say in this kind of matter.

You, personally, can't move it.
--you need to ask a Mod
(or you could just re-create it in another area)

I doubt they will add the option though.

But as I said earlier, private is the way to go...we do horde runs all of the time

I would like a separate playlist as well.
I have a crew to roll with and do private matches but there are times I get on and there not on. I would love to be able to play standard horde with new people on the FoN and the FR maps.

But I can see where it could end up being a numbers issue and having longer wait times searching for a game could happen.

on a side note my GT is my username feel free to add me. I play mostly horde.

Maybe this is a technical issue? There is some reason these maps are not showing up. Epic may need to be aware of the situation. Who knows.

Didn't think of that, nice thinking friend

If Epic could make it so the matchmaking process prioritised players with the same map packs would be put into the same lobby and then that lobby only voted on the map pack maps. That would be a lot better. A lot of us with map packs are sick of the default maps. Well not sick of them but would prefer to play on the new maps.

Someone earlier in the thread stated that they have played on one of the FoN maps already.

The reason they aren't showing up for most of you is this:
You need to find a lobby with 5 people that all have the maps (lowers the chance of getting it)
You need to have one of the 5 maps available for selection (lowers the chance of getting it a lot)
You need to have the map win the votes (depends on the map really)

Yes...that is an option...
It would increase match making times...but it is an option. (not sure if they'd do it though)

I must say it finds games pretty fast, unfortunately they always seem to be on old maps, which is probably what the majority of people own. I wouldn't care to wait a little longer if that is what it takes to put people together who bought the new maps.

Nor would I

I think playing with friends is great, but they are not always on line and if you just have a few hours and want to play horde the old maps are getting a little well old I guess.

horde DOES need a map packs option like gears 2 had.

[DaGRiM DeStRoYr]

Horde needs an overall map pack option, but like bchaps said, this isn't the section of the forum to discuss this.

[HITMAN-KILLER-1]

I agree its the same old maps I paid for them now let me play them please epic not every one has a team of 5 that's on at the same time all the time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe since horde doesn't have dedicated servers, the players need to have the maps, and only 3 maps are selected, so the chances of all it lining up is slim. I don't know how it works, if just host has to have them, or if everyone needs to have them... I think in private, you can't pick a map if all players don't have it, but not positive because everyone I play with has the dlc. We have a horde group with hundreds of regular horde players, if you want to find some good people to play with.

[GearKev]

man i totally agree, it's frustraiting that there are so many maps and I always end up on the same ones all the time! Has anyone on epic ever adressed this problem?
