It is really impossible to play with the DLC maps? Seriously, I don’t spend 25$ for the pass to get 9 useless maps.
I don’t believe it is a too hard work to put a single playlist for all the DLC maps.
I hope my message will be readed. Sorry if my English is bad.
100% agree. Always wondered why they remove the DLC playlists after awhile. It is near impossible to get matches with DLC now. What a waste of money. I am trying for 1 last achievement on Castle map pack and cannot even find a match.
I just wasted 25 bucks for what??? wtf… please give me an explanation why these dlc arent working??
Halo 3 was the best example of how to handle DLC, make it a requirement to have them to play certain hoppers. Made it worth paying the extra cash for maps you would actually use. What a waste.

The DLC maps are integrated into all currently existing playlists. But in order for them to have a chance of showing as voting options, everyone in the game lobby must have the DLC. If just a single person doesn’t have the DLC then the maps for the map pack(s) they don’t own will not show as voting options. The best way to play on the maps is to party up with other DLC owners. This increases the chances of matching up with other parties of DLC owners and will give a more likely chance of DLC maps showing in voting slots.

I know right?! I didn’t use someone else’s $28-$30 for a season pass for nothing!

It could be more useful to create a playlist specificaly for the DLC maps because if you don’t have a lot of friends with the maps, it is nearly impossible to be on a entire group of DLC owner. I have other things to do than sending message to all players to know who have the maps.

Halo 2 was better. Halo 2 made DLC a requirement to play online. Period. The DLC became free after a few months and was a pre-requisite to play online.
Yeah I completely agree! How hard can it be to put a DLC playlist in there? A BTB DLC (or just DLC) playlist would be awesome.
It’s an absolute joke and very illogical to release maps which, realistically, will never (or extremely rarely) be chosen for a match. And I doubt 343i will release one, since they want players to stick with MCC on XOne and prevent players from going back to H4 on the 360. But that’s just my opinion.
Yeah this has been a problem for a while and it’s ridiculous that it still is. Since I bought the DLC late, I feel like I just wasted my money because, statistically speaking, I have no chance of playing them in public matchmaking. How hard is it to add one playlist that requires all DLC?
And while you’re at it, remove some of the existing playlists. Halo 4 doesn’t have the population to support so many.

The DLC playlists are removed because they always end up having a really low population, which is ironic seeing how much this forum complains about wanting to play DLC.
Due to its population, the playlist is taken out because the population isn’t viable for efficient search times, skill matches, network connection, and other things like that. If people played the DLC playlists, they’d be there.
And actually, they did test a DLC requirement. Made Majestic, I believe, required for a week or two in Team Slayer.
The population plummeted.
More than 300 matchs and still no DLC maps. I really think it was a waste of money.
Guys I think we should ask for our money back!!!
One it comes to Halo you really need to buy DLC day one and play the hell out of it because one day they will disappear!!!
