WELL DONE CRYTEK

Your new playlist update screwed up the DLC playlists COMPLETELY - and here's why:

Attempt to get into any RETALIATION TEAM, or DECIMATION TEAM match and you will be wasting your time because where it used to be fairly quick and easy to get a match it now absolutely is not. The reason for this is for the simple reason that most people want to play TIA, but they now cannot - every time. Meaning, they cannot do what they enjoy most about the game and play TIA and only TIA.

When joining the aforementioned 'TEAM' playlists, players are met with a choice of two game types: TIA or Crash Site/Assault/Extraction. I personally don't mind a bit of variety, but a lot of players just like TIA and nothing else, which is completely fair enough. The problems start though when the vote is fairly evenly split between the two options - people quit from the lobby (during the countdown) when they are 'forced' to play what they are not interested in, what they don't like.

The frustrating result being that there is no longer enough players left in the lobby to start the match. Back to square one - wait and hope that others join in their place. Problem is, they don't. It now feels like an endless cycle of waiting in lobbies, with a few out there playing - lucky to get a match actually started.

I used to get games no problem in TIA in the DLC playlists, but tonight I've managed to get just one; and even that was a mid-game join.

The DLC playlists are now useless to me.

Thank you, Crytek.

Yeah I think it's a HUGE mistake not to have separate playlists for TIA on the DLC packs.

I like it. Actually, I love it. Even if TIA comes up way too often. I'd like more variety, if it's please you, but I'll take it. It was surely a dicey decision to eliminate a dedicated TIA playlist... Maybe they should've kept it AND included it in the game modes in "DLC"-Team... still, I like it.

So, WELL DONE CRYTEK (seriously, well done).

I love the new playlist because I play with a team once we get whatever we vote for
