In past Halo games, unless everyone in the lobby owned the DLC, the maps didn’t appear as an option, (and DLC owners rarely got to play them).
If the paid DLC for this game is new leaders/powers/units I don’t see a reason why someone with the DLC can’t be matched against someone without the DLC (i.e. someone with only Cutter and Atriox at their disposal) as long as the game is still balanced and fair.
If anything, allowing non-DLC owners to match DLC owners like this might persuade them to part with their cash if they like the new units they see.
Obviously non-DLC owners don’t get to play the extra campaign stories. This post is about not fragmenting the multiplayer community.
Any thoughts?
Your suggestion works for leaders and units and I think that’s how it will play out, but what about maps? Will players who purchased inew maps be able to play with those who have not?

No mention of DLC maps yet:

If new maps are released (and I fully expect them to) I hope they’re made available to everyone for free.
Either that or they add a DLC playlist so people who’ve spent money on them can guarantee they appear if they want to.
Giving new Maps out to everybody and just new leaders/units pushed into DLC. While i have to say i would not want to see having an unit as option that is more powerful then others.
A way this could work out: We know Cutter have a scorpion Tank up his sleeve, so another DLC leader may not have that option but something else in that slot. So nobody has extra units at disposal just cause he paid for, but cause the leader they choose have it as an alternate.
But the most important thing: CA have tobmake sure all leaders are balanced out, i am not interessted in 12 extra Leaders when i know i gain a tactical advantage just cause i paid 20 bucks extra.

Yes, I totally agree, people paying extra should be able to enjoy the extra variety of units, but not enjoy a tactical advantage over non-DLC players.
It must still be balanced and fair against people who haven’t paid extra.
