A strictly DLC playlist would be amazing, I never get to play any of the previous DLC anymore and i’d like to, as well as there are some achievements that are Impossible to get right now because the maps aren’t available, and I’d like to finish up all of my Halo 4 achievements before Battlefield 4 comes out ;-;
Squad DLC- 5v5
Majestic Pack, Bullseye Pack, Harvest, Daybreak, and Forge Island variants. Mix of Slayer and Objective gametypes. (Majestic Pack, Bullseye Pack, and Forge Island required)
BTB DLC- 8v8
Crimson Pack, Castle Pack, and Forge Island variants. Mix of Slayer and Objective gametypes. (Crimson Pack, Castle Pack, and Forge Island required)
We want it 343i!
Those would be the perfect playlists to add, c’mon 343I

Not sure if there will be a big enough population to sustain this, but I definitely think this idea would be worth a try for a few weeks at least.

It doesn’t matter what the pop for these two playlists are. People payed for the DLC and it should be made permanently available for when they want to play it. As of right now DLC scarcely shows up in regular playlists and only 2 of the 12 DLC maps have a dedicated playlist right now.
We don’t have the pop for a playlist dedicated to each and every gametype and I think CTF and Ricochet should be put in a Team Objective playlist at some point and I wouldn’t mind BTIS and Skirmish being merged. But the DLC can and should be available for those who payed for it and I think DLC playlists with map and gametype variety can find a following with the pop we have.
I support a DLC playlist fully.

They should put a sale on the maps beforehand and then launch those two playlists.
Yeah, I’d like to be able to get my DLC achievements. They always say “We’ve made it easier to match people up with other players that have the same DLC,” but yet, I almost NEVER see DLC maps unless I’m in a DLC list.

Why two playlists? If you’re concerned that some of the maps are too big for 4v4 or 5v5, just forge them into smaller playing fields, the way that 343 did for Mini-Slayer with Napolean (Complex).
It’d be pretty simple to resection the larger maps into the right size for a 12-map, all-DLC playlist. In fact, the variety would be pretty freakin’ awesome.

My thoughts exactly. The population is low as is. Imagine how low the numbers would be in a DLC required playlist. It’s worth a shot but with the current population it would just be frustrating due to the lag.
Same as all above.Tired of Forge maps mixed in DLC, Nice maps but create the most lag. Can we play what we paid for?

I always see different people posting this on the forums, I honestly think this idea is phenomenal. Please 343i, the community really does want this to happen. Maybe they can just change the Champions Bundle and Ricochet playlists into those (once the population in the champions bundle DLC and Ricochet playlist dies down) and put ricochet in Action Sack as an option.

Two playlists because half the maps are for 4v4 and half of them support 8v8. As for butchering the BTB maps in Forge to support 4v4 that’s not a good idea in my opinion.

You’re missing the point. Regardless of pop the DLC should be entirely available in MM for those who bought it to play. Besides I think real DLC playlists like this can find support amongst the current total population. Especially given that the GotY edition is coming out and if Microsoft had a sale on the DLC before launching these two playlists.
Had the same problem on Reach, When they had a playlist there was like 46 people playing in it was almost impossible to get a game of invasion.
I think the maps packs should come with the game or be free after a certain period of time. DLC should be what keeps people playing/bring them back, part of keeping the game alive, keeping people interested. As it stands DLC map packs are not good value, why? Because the maps never go into the standard rotation, they are played for a couple of weeks and then disappear.
I don’t think a DLC playlist would be viable at the moment with current multiplayer numbers. It takes a while to even get a game on dominion.

the dlc maps will never become free to play.
that is a rule from Microsoft that dlc maps never most become free.
also its not fair for the players that have buy the dlc maps all.
they is only 1 way to fix it and that is 2 new playlist for dlc users.
As far as I know, if everyone has them, every DLC map can appear in the current matchmaking playlists. If you’re going for achievements, then maybe you and some friends can…invite some guests to play those dlc maps with you.

what is the chance you play on a dlc map in matchmaking now?
the last time i have play on a normal matchmaking play list was when crimsom dlc was out.
on big team infinty slayer i have play the 2 big maps but after the 2 other dlc maps have come out i have only play on standard maps on big team infinty slayer after that.
I would definitely appreciate a strictly DLC playlist or even two.
I have all Map Packs but I have played only once or twice on certain DLC maps yet in multiplayer. It seems like no one that is still playing actually has them except me but obviously I am not the only one that feels like this.
I don’t even care anymore if the DLC maps become free now. Sure it would not be fair for the people who paid for it but at least we would get to play on them and we would not be restricted in player counts.
I mean what is the point to buy something but then are not be able to use it or only with restrictions?
In the end, either ways it is wasted money.
I have little faith that 343 will make DLC-only playlists that allows players who bought their products to enjoy it in matchmaking and obtain the matchmaking achievements that come with those maps. The only DLC that will have maps come up often is Forge Island maps due to it being free.
Maybe now that we have dealt with this issue in both Reach and 4, we will be more hesitant to buy map packs or the bundle deals that include all of the maps packs for future titles. Unless of course people still like to have map packs that are only available to play on matchmaking for the first few months when it comes out and then all of the sudden becomes impossible to find in matchmaking once the newest map pack comes out.
We need to start realizing: The only new maps that will frequently pop up in matchmaking are the forge maps that get added in. IF you’re gonna get a map pack, make sure you’ve got a lot of friends who like customs who also will buy the same map pack.
