    Default Stranded playlist

    I play Stranded KOTH a lot and lately started trying TDM as well. It's enjoyable mainly because the teams constantly mix up and you don't get as many lopsided matches with full rooms. I think stranded should be an option for all playlists. You would select the gametype then choose between Ranked, QM, or Stranded (which would just follow QM settings). This would also free up 2 spots in the FoN section for more event playlists.

    Could even add alpha or zeta options too.

    Interesting idea but I think this would make it harder to find certain games.

    Stranded isn't heavily populated anyway. It would just free up some space for events and give people a chance to play stuff like stranded Execution.

    i've been playing stranded koth, and it's pretty much always full lobbies when I play... I hate playing qm against stacked teams while I'm playing solo, and stranded is an awesome alterneative. I love the alpha koth as well, but don't go in as much unless I'm playing with someone, because I find alot of teams, and when playing with randoms it just never works out so well.

    Yeah but you are essentially removing two and adding one more to everything else.

    They should do this at least people got the choice to either play solo or play against people in a party.

    agree, I think it's a great idea. It makes it more enjoyable, because there's always a chance to win, and I like that the teams rotate.

    The playlists need to be revised anyway. It would streamline things and free up space for better playlists. Plus I'm sure most would stiill stickk to ranked or qm.

    Gears 3 doesn't have the population numbers to support this.

    Not a bad idea but it just can't be done. The population is already divided as is.

    Playlists need a revision but I don't think this is the right solution.

    That's why epic should use there current we're all stranded mode to add the other game types. Nothing is remove and the popular numbers might increase.
