Yes or no on the season pass for this game? I'm not sure if COD has a good DLC map implementation for matchmaking.

I have never played a COD as much as this one, so that isn't the concern. I got this in the beginning of January for $6 and a completed copy of Tomb Raider, and I'm approaching my second prestige.

I bought the season pass for Advanced Warfare and regretted it. The way that COD incorporates DLC into the game drastically reduces the matchmaking pool and the inability to disable the DLC fucks it over even more. The DLC is only really playable during the month or two it has its own playlists.

I am a sucker for COD games and I always buy the season pass. It's refreshing to be able to play some new maps after a few months of the same maps. On top of that I am also a big fan of Treyarch's maps.

I see that you have no grasp on the concept of context. The person I quoted asked for opinions on COD DLC. I gave my opinions based on the experience I have with COD DLC. End of story. You are the only one blowing this out of proportion.

I guess you failed reading comprehension he asked about black ops 3 dlc not about any past cod dlc. And even if you wanted to make a comparison should have done so relating to past Treyarch dlc only.

I'm not blowing anything out of proportion I'm just tired of seeing you shit up threads concerning dlc with nonsensical bullshit.

lol what the hell just happened here. Nothing SG-17 said warranted that response.

DLC maps should always be free. They segregate the community in every game with paid maps. that's just what it is.

I personally dont buy Season passes. I would take the $5 hit and buy things as they are released than give my $60 to developers for content that hasnt even been created yet.

I have to post an actual POSITIVE experience I had with matchmaking yesterday to counterbalance all the negative.

At first I was paired with some terrible teammates (per usual) who were going 5-22, 3-16, etc. Then a bunch of people quit and my lobby got merged with another one. Played through the TDM match and it ended like 100 - 94. Pretty evenly matched. Everyone was somewhere between .8 and 2.5 KDr. And everyone stayed. Had 7 or 8 matches with the same group and all of them ended with a final score within 10. We even had a game that ended 100 - 99. Nobody really sucked, and nobody dominated. We even played Combine and everyone voted for the next map, not Combine again. It was like the heavens opened up and the perfect lobby was created. Eventually I had to stop so I could go to bed, but I wanted to message everyone from that lobby so we could play together again.

It can happen. Good lobbies DO exist.

It can happen a lot more but most people would hate the idea of not automatically being able to dominate the other team. Too "sweaty" I hear.

Seems like matchmaking and matches have gone to shit tonight. I keep getting put in a lobby full of people but with no countdown or timer or any indication that anything is going to happen. And all the matches I have got into have been 50+ ping, makes it nigh on impossible to snipe with.

And I frikking hate the P-06 I'm getting a 0.1 KD with it, missing 99 percent of shots.

Youtubers are posting gameplay from the new maps, Gauntlet was today.

Looks pretty good except the Urban, and Military Base parts have a lot of corners. The snow part and the jungle parts look good though.

Also, a 10th Specialist is teased in the map.

Ok, just to weigh in as the asker of the question that kicked it off. My general impression was that each COD rolled out map packs in a similar fashion, and I wanted to figure out if the historical way maps were rolled out made them less of a value in previous game. I thought I recalled at least one multiplayer game that rolled out DLC that could only be played in private lobbies, which does zero for me. I don't think it was ever COD, but how maps are rolled out does determine how much value you get out of them.

I am already ready for more after a month, and two months with a DLC pack in matchmaking may be all I need. I'm spending enough time in the game that the value proposition isn't that bad, as I might enjoy some new scenery even if temporary.

I wasn't coming up with a great google search on this topic, so I appreciate the info.

Battlefield Premium didnt seem so bad in how it was rolled out. I don't want to go from the map set that is there now to having limit myself to a 4 map playlist if I want to interact with DLC as well. That's no good.

That moment when you have to have the value of three people. The first guy on the winning team had 4950 score while I had 7575 score. There's only so much one man can do.

Edit: That's all for now, everyone. It's Jorge's turn. It's a shame that sometimes not even a Mothership can save a losing match. Oh well. It was fun and I had a nice time! I'll play with you all later! Sorry if I wasn't performing as well as usual, I can only do so much.

Last Vision Pulse and Glitch challenges left before unlocking hero gear challenges... God these 2 are hard.

Vision Pulse sometimes don't register its double kill.

Ehm does anyone know an easy way to complete the Nomad Rejack challenge (2 double kills after rejack)? I swear it's impossible to do as people just stand over the cloud and kill you once you rejack lol. What a shitty specialist!

Play on nuketown, run to the enemy spawn and get killed.. then rejack and kill them. That's what I did anyways.

Yeah, the Varix messes up Bloodthirsty registration for challenges. One of those things they still haven't fixed.

That reminds me, Black Market reticles for the Recon and Varix sights (and maybe thermal too?) are bugged in Zombies. They don't show up when choosing reticles, it just shows a wall of undiscovered Black Market reticles, as if you haven't earned any from supply drops.

Didn't even realize Gauntlet had its own theme in every lane. The forest and ice lanes look cool.

This is the first time, ever, I'm buying a map pack. I still play Blops 3 daily and I'm not bored of it yet, so excited for four new maps. And maybe I'll try Zombies with Eisendrache.

Do the DLC maps get their own playlist in the beginning? What happens if the maps get added into the general rotation, do you just not see them anymore because not everyone has the DLC?

Wonder if we'll get any new Black Market items when the DLC hits.
