**BobcatWithASaddle** · 04-27-2012, 08:08 PM

Why would you put FORCES OF NATURE as a playlist.. and make it to where you cant Play with FRIENDS.. on Warzone or TDM? Really?

WHY would you make people download a map pack and then Have then UNABLE TO PLAY IT WITH FRIENDS. REALLY??? REALLY?? REALLY?? I have to play TDM and WAIT for the map to come up? WHICH IT MIGHT NOT.

Just go to regular TDM it still puts you on FoN maps. The TDM on FoN Playlist isn't only FoN maps either.

if you're trying to play the stranded TDM then you can't play with your friends because that's the way they have it set up. Standed = no parties allowed.

Well like I said, the FoN playlist is pretty much in name only, because I get all the maps when I play the gametypes.

STILL.. it shouldnt be like that. In EVERY other game I have played.. When a map pack comes out, they allow a playlist where you can playtest them with friends. In Gears, they just put forces of nature up and put the least popular playlists up on it?? lol wtf?? -.-

**GotGearz650** · 04-27-2012, 08:22 PM

Well I think the FON maps had to be downloaded, they were not on the disc themselves. So if you or anyone else in that gametype doesnt have those maps they should not pop up. To the best of my knowledge anyways.

No no no.. I'm saying. In the FON PLAYLIST. Why is there No, TDM, WARZONE, or EXECUTION with FRIENDS. Theres like 7 playlists on it, and theyre all the least popular things. I can't play any of these with friends.. And I WOULDNT NOT want to play any of these by myself..

No, it did not make any sense. And nobody on here is MAKING any sense.

Why.. is.. there.. no.. TDM in the FON list. OR ANY gametype that allows you to play with friends.

Because that's the way the Devs wanted it apparently. Or maybe there's a limit to the amount of playlists they can put under other categories and chose that one to place those in. If you'd like an answer then PM them here or send them a PM on twitter. I've had many questions answered there and so have many others if you ask politely and are patient about it.

Also I'm looking at the playlist right now. You can play under "Zeta". Which is TDM and KOTH with custom weapon settings. Also the "Bang Bang" playlist is there which allows you to play with your friends. And ofcourse there's also guardian which is on all maps now.

All the playlists but the ones marked "STRANDED" can be played with friends. And they're all popular.

You're the one making no sense.

If you play the standard game modes and everyone in your party has all DLC, then the fenix rising and FoN maps will be in the cycle... unless you aren't in a dedicated server game. A good way to tell is if you are playing on overpass or sandbar.

And they put all of the extra gametypes in the FoN versus playlist because not everyone has all multiplayer DLC, and all multiplayer DLC is required to play the FoN playlist.

Also they did let everyone "playtest" the new maps for about a week on every FoN gametype, in fact it was just a constant 5 map cycle

This. Any other problem you have is on your end.

**LambentHammerburst** · 04-27-2012, 09:21 PM

Not sure what the issue is?
Play Team Deathmatch in the Standard playlist - you get maps from Retail/DLC1/DLC3/DLC4. You only get Retail maps only if you play "TDM No DLC"
Standed gametypes are exactly what the description says. It's for solo play only. Not sure why you're complaining about something doing exactly what it says.
