I usually play Anniversary or SWAT when I want my MM fix, but I own all the DLC and have done since they came out.
Last night I felt like slumming it so went onto the Team Slayer playlist and - for the first time ever - my DLC kicked in and Anchor 9 came up on the Team Slayer menu. All three games were A9 and the awestruck me immediately voted for one. But wouldn’t you know it, everybody else vetoed and we went to a new screen and ended up on Pinnacle.
So, Slayer personages, does Anchor 9 come up often? Or was it just that random chance brought 8 DLC owners together, the server saw an opportunity and was then kicked in the processors for its trouble?
We all love Sword Base, and Boardwalk, and Uncaged etc (we must, these are the ones always voted for) but wouldn’t it be nice to have a change, once in a while…
Its was this.

And the worst part is that those guys that didnt vote it will be on the forums complaining about no DLC playlist.
DLC come up so rarely nowadays it should be compulsory voting. I had a BTB playlist present us with with Heavies on Eminence (Highlands Heavies variant) about 2 months ago and 9 players voted for Slayer on Hemmorage. I fear that most players left playing Reach only vote for maps now they know well, know all the weapon spawn points and times and have a strategy that works for them on that map.
Tomorrow is my last day for my gold account and I have all the DLC except for the overpriced $14 dollar one. So who wants to do a BTB on all the DLC? I’d like to play on these maps as well because chances are I will never get the chance to do it again.
I play Reach TS for 2-5 hours every weekend, I have all the DLC, and they rarely appear in rotation. And when they do, they often get passed for None of the Above. The problems are:
- Everyone in the game must have purchased the DLC.
- Most of the DLC maps suck.
Tempest, High Noon, and Condemned are all way too large for 4 x 4 game play. Anchor 9 is boring and usually resorts to mass-camping. I find Solitary highly irritating unless I have a JP. Battle Canyon and Penance are the only two I do enjoy. The other maps I’ve never even see because I don’t venture into BTB all that often.
I’m glad I waited until all the DLC was 50% off.
I’ve been back playing Reach for months now and have yet to see a DLC map come up for choice, it’s very irritating to say the least constantly playing Boardwalk, Pinnacle, Sword Base and Uncaged!!
