I didn’t get the map packs so they can just sit on my harddrive without being used
I still need some chevos from castle map pack either start bringing in some more DLC required playlists or make all Achievements universal
Agreed, you give these maps, we pay extra for them, then wait for the opportunity to play them, what gives?
on this I would agree, not dificult is it!!
It might have been one or two bulletins ago but I’m 90% sure they said a DLC-only playlist is on the near horizon. It is definitely needed.
There is a permanent DLC playlist now, it’s just that Majestic is the ‘featured’ DLC map pack at the moment. They said they would rotate the DLC maps in this playlist.
343 needs to rotate the DLC playlist more often, how hard can it be?
They are rotating it every week from now on. I think this is the best outcome we are going to get.

Source?
Couldn’t they make a combined DLC map playlist that randomly picks between them? At least that way if you wanted to work on a certain DLC’s achievements you can vote for a map from that set.

> In an effort to always offer DLC content in Matchmaking, we are happy to announce that the Majestic DLC playlist will return next week as the “featured DLC” playlist. We will continue to offer a variety of DLC maps in this slot, and may update the game types, maps, and even team sizes moving forward to keep DLC content fresh and available in Halo 4 Matchmaking.
This is what I found from Halo Bulletin 5/29/13.
It doesn’t say every week, but it does imply that a DLC playlist will be a regular thing.

I don’t think this would work with the different maps supporting different numbers of players.
DLC playlists haven’t been very popular since Reach.
The reason why the playlists were removed was because the maps can be found in other playlists, and the dedicated playlists typically had the lowest populations of them all.

I believe so too.

Just because they can be doesn’t mean there is a decent chance of them popping up, let alone them actually being voted for.

Still doesn’t the fact that every playlist for DLC since Reach has usually been the lowest populated one.
Would it kill’em to update the DLC list, really? Been looking at Majestic for how long now?

What they need to do is implement two dlc playlists. One BTB with both slayer and objective, and one that is 5v5 with slayer and objectives. And they should include community maps in these playlists for variety. It’s simple and it would work, all the dlc and forge enthusiasts would enjoy it for sure.

Even for example right now, Majestic has 79 players. People always complain about wanting a DLC playlist, but when we get one, nobody plays it.
I play it now and then but I seem to get matched up against teams that have me respawning every 5 seconds. Might do better in Crimson/Castle but seems Majestic is out of my league at the moment.
They need to do something, I haven’t played one castle map yet.
> They need to do something, I haven’t played one castle map yet.
It is entirely down to the players on DLC frequency, they matchmaking parameters have been updated on multiple occasions to try and match DLC owners with other DLC owners. This can only work if people with the DLC are actually online and playing.
The fact the ever so requested DLC playlist(s) returned recently and has the lowest population of all the playlists (171 at the time of this post, the second highest is Team Objective at 342 just shows how wasteful a slot for DLC playlists is.
