Unable to play with your friends in Gears of War because of the Trueskill system? You're not alone, but according to Epic VP Mark Rein, we might be getting this capability in the future.
Currently you won't be able to play against your friends (or with them for that matter) over Xbox Live in Gears of War because of the Trueskill system - the friends feature is left out so that exploitation doesn't occur.
Anyway,
GamerAndy got the chance to talk with Epic VP Mark Rein, where the following was said:
Gamer Andy: Well, I'm kinda a hardcore team guy when it comes to games like this, and one of the things I enjoyed most about Halo 2 was how easy it was to play all night with your friends against other people and have it still be really competitive... For as much fun as unranked games are, I think people take games more seriously and generally try harder when they think somethings on the lineMarkRein: Yeah, Microsoft came to us and said there would be alot of cheaters if we did it that way so for right now this is how it is. In the future we might roll out some additional functionalitySo, if you and your mates are itching to kick each others butts in GoW, then it could soon be a possibility by way of a patch from Epic.
