So here I am with DLC that I have yet to play because there isn’t a playlist for it anymore. I mean come on I pay for the DLC and I can play it. Plus I have achievements I cant earn without playing the DLC maps. Please bring it back.
I agree.
What happened to oddball playlist as well?
The least 343 can do is have a playlist for each DLC.
You can earn the achievements on any map which is in Forge World, too. I don’t if there are Mantises though… anyway. A playlist for all DLCs would be best, I think.
And bring some other playlists back, like Oddball or KotH. Those game types don’t come up often in other playlits, and the commendations for them are a pain.
You know 343 has done too much fidgeting with the entirety of the system, gamers want consistency. If you’re going to buff or nerf a weapon make sure your message is loud and clear, especially if it may a affect an achievement
I definitely want Castle back. I only need ONE achievement for Halo 4 and it’s on a Castle Map. (Assassinate someone using hardlight shield.)
They are… Anyway, it was up for what seemed at least a month…
There should be a single DLC playlist, that requires all DLC.
Halo 2 and Halo 3 had playlist that required DLC to play.
If you made BTB DLC only, then this would force players to purchase the DLC to keep playing it.
Some people may not like this, but it worked very well for Halo 2 & 3.
It be nice for 343 to do this, but also reduce the price for the DLC so it was more affordable.
The DLC for Halo 4 and Halo REACH are great, but you rarely get to play them in matchmaking.

Your lucky, I need nearly all the DLC Achievements.

Thanks, I didn’t know that you could get the DLC achievements in Forge Island.
I don’t have any of the DLC, as do a significant portion of people either. And thats the problem. Its too expensive!! I can’t afford to blow $40 for some points to get some map packs that i probably will never get to play on, same thing happened in Reach, lesson learned.
Rather have crimson since thats not been played on in ages and Daybreaks the worst DLC map yet it appears the most which annoys the hell out of me
I find it absurd that after I just bought the Map Pack Pass for 2000 microsoft points I’m only allowed to play 3 of the maps available in the playlist options.
Either make all the maps available in one playlist or make three different playlists, I feel legit scammed and should have done more research.
THERE NEEDS TO BE A PLAYLIST FOR ALL THE MAPS, IT’S NOT EVEN A QUESTION OF IF, I PAID TO PLAY ALL THE MAPS IN MULTIPLAYER, FIX THIS 343.
I can’t believe I might actually have to complain to xbox about this.

The playlist for the DLC rotates every month. So when the new DLC comes on August 20th, there will be a playlist for it. The month after, one of the older DLC’s will take its place.
Technically the maps are available in all playlists, you’re just not being matched up with people who have DLC (since it seems hardly anybody is willing to buy it). I have played on DLC maps outside the DLC playlist many times, though they are sparse in the voting options.
It isn’t possible to put all the maps into the same playlist since they cater for different team sizes and game modes. Crimson and Castle maps are for 6-8 player teams due to their large size. The Majestic maps are made purposely for small sized, 4v4 games (specifically Skyline, the smallest map) due to them being small, close-quarters maps. You can imagine the problem having two 8 man teams on a map made for 4v4 games. It just doesn’t work, therefore all the DLC cannot simply be put into the same playlist.
Saying you were scammed simply isn’t true, since nowhere in the description of the map pass or each individual map pack does it state that you are guaranteed to play on these maps whenever you want in online matchmaking. If it did state this, then fair enough, but the fact is it doesn’t.
I don’t see why we can’t just compromise and have all DLC Bundled together in a 6v6 slayer/objective playlist. Atleast it would mean we are able to enjoy these maps.
The current DLC playlist monthly rotation seems pointless, whenever i play there is usually less than 100 people playing, it hardly seems worth running it. It takes me a good 5 - 10 minutes to get into a game.
I gotta agree, Castle had some of the best big team maps in the game, particularly the 1 where your in some kind of city area(cant remember the name unfortunately XC), They shoulda been vanilla maps IMO… same thing for the majestic pack…
It seems like 343 wants us to PAY for the maps in halo 4 that are actually GOOD… go figure
See, this is why the DLC should be free. At least it won’t bug you so much if they didn’t come up in matchmaking.

Skyline would play awful in a 6v6 setting, heck so would Monolith. The Majestic Map Pack was designed for 2v2/4v4 gameplay.
