hey guys i was wondering can you still play noble and defiant maps on reach still, as i looked at the august update and it said that they got rid of the squad dlc playlist. i was wondering as i thought about buying the map packs but saw this update. Please talk back and tell me if you can still play those maps
Yep! They’re still in pretty much every playlist! Everyone has to have the DLC for them to appear, however.
Saw them come up quite a bit with the group I was just playing with.
Technically it’s still possible to play them in any playlist, but everyone playing has to have DLC or they won’t come up.
It’s like playing the Lottery.
I want to tell you to buy them as they are awesome maps, and the more people that have them, the more likely it is I might get to play them again.
Unfortunately it might be a waste of money, as you might only get to play them a few times a month.
At least you know this going in, instead of getting shafted like the rest of us who have already paid.

I’ve only got to play on maybe 1 or 2 dlc maps and that was when I was with a full party of friends who had it. Even then the quality of the game was not that great because the opposing team was a full party too that unfortunately camped like no other.
When I played alone dlc never even appeared which is usually how I play so my luck of getting dlc seems real slim.
