After the recent August update everyone is complaining about (myself included), I have noticed a HUGE increase in DLC maps in Team Slayer. So I’d say stop with the DLC complaints.
Maybe it’s just me, or has anyone else noticed this also?
The only thing I’m mad about still is the removal of FF doubles, but I AM! glad to see DLC maps showing up almost ever 3 to 4 games in Team Slayer now.
About the same for me. I had a couple DLC games pop up earlier. I would have voted for more of it, but there is no way I’m playing any Anniversary map when players can start with Jetpack.

Specially Solitary! Haha! The only reason I WAS doing that is to get Dive Bomber, which I should have gotten like a week ago but it never clicked until yesterday, I don’t know what I was doing wrong, but that’s a different subject.

It was actually either Solitary ARs and DMRs, or Slayer Pro on Penance.
I haven’t played much regular match making lately, Grifball and Firefight trying to get challenges, but that’s good to hear
Are you kidding me
I played 5 straight BTB games yesterday but not one DLC map showed up.
I have been noticing this too.
They could have changed something in the matchmaking system with the update, but the more likely explanation is that Reach’s population is rising steadily as H4 gets closer.
Most of the people playing now are loyal fans who own the DLC, and are getting excited for H4. and the MM system already tries to pair people with others that have purchased DLC.

5 games? How do you have time to sleep?

5 games isn’t a long time…

I think the reason OP is seeing more DLC maps is because the August update forced large numbers of players to migrate. This caused the populations of some playlists to increase, which in theory would increase the chances of any individual in those playlists winding up in a match where DLC is available.
If more people migrated to Team Slayer than to BTB, then that would explain how OP is seeing more DLC, while you aren’t. :\

In Team Slayer it’s not so bad because it’s a 8 men match.Now good luck on getting Breakpoint in Invasion or DLC in BTB all it takes is 1 out of 12 or 16 and the DLC maps don’t show up.

Great, so I still have to play 4 games on a crap Forge map that I hate to maybe get a chance to play on a map I paid for and like. That’s awesome…

Guess you’re right.
Hopefully the Anniversary BTB population migrated to regular BTB too, and I’ll be seeing Anniv. maps there now.

The current Forgeworld maps in MM are actually pretty decent, except “Temple”, while it LOOKS cool, just not a very playable map.
But yeah I’m 100% positive it has to do with the migration, and the system Bungie implemented with the Noble map pack, as to where it searches first for players with the DLC like you, that way they could alleviate having an exclusive DLC playlist.
But like I said, the update isn’t as bad as I had expected, actually, the achievements I thought that would be IMPOSSIBLE to get after the update, I’ve already gotten 2. But I still, and will forever miss FF doubles.
