No updates will be made till after H4 is up and a go go… But on that first update for reach, IF a playlist was chosen to require DLC to be owned… What multiplayer MM playlist would you hope would be DLC required?
Should it require 1 DLC, 2, or all?
Has price went down for DLC yet?
I would do one of the playlist that does not have a high population. I’m not going to name any specific playlist though.
Isn’t that the point though, get more people to be DLC owners.
I’m between rumble pit and super slayer.
I think super slayer is a perfect fit because its mostly played by crazier competitive natured players who are also the larger group wanting to play their DLC more. And it makes me think of halo 3 playlist that some required DLC. So far Reach has three Slayer playlists… TeamSlayer, Super Slayer and Arena… Why do we have three? It would make more sense if Super Slayer required DLC.
1 for default vanilla
1 for more competitive DLC owners
1 for Ranked (more or less) play
You know, I’ve bought all the DLC for Reach but haven’t been able to play on any maps other than Anchor 9 more than twice. A bit ridiculous for the amount of money I paid. There should be a system that lets you set your favorite maps so that when you enter a game and players are choosing maps, the most favorited maps by players in the lobby will pop up more often. Players with DLC are more often set up with other players with DLC as well, so as to facilitate the use of this system and create a dynamic multiplayer matchmaking system.
This way we can avoid an influx of “DLC ONLY” playlists that can really put a damper on fun for the less fortunate players that can’t go spend money on every new DLC to stack up to playlist standards while still offering those maps.

This part is already true, if you go in with a full team of owners you are almost always set up against a team of only owners. Searching by yourself also gravitates you to other owners but much lower chances.
Side note, I rarely every played the DLC playlist when they did have them up. The playlist was so competitive it was a dumb idea to go in without a team that you trusted to play well. Just like Arena or DLC. So the move to put the DLC so far resulted me playing more DLC then I ever would have if DLC was only in one playlist. However… since Super Slayer and its TU settings are already geared for competitive play, it makes sense enough to try (for a third time) to have a DLC playlist instead of Super Slayer (especially since Arena Slayer is also TU settings)

Haha… just kidding, I bet with all these DLC related threads that something will be done following Halo 4’s launch. In the meantime, treasure every DLC match like it’s Christmas morning. I know I do.

They come up too often for me… We often vote maps that aren’t DLC… The only time I wish there were more DLC owners is for infection.
I voted “other” or BTB. I really miss some of those awesome maps especially Highground and Breakneck, loved those two

As much as I want the BTB DLC maps,I think BTB would suffer most from low population. Rumble Pit however will be just fine in that regard.
But really we have Team Slayer, Arena Slayer and Super Slayer… All three of these are 4v4. One of these should require DLC.
