Couldn't agree more so tired of the same maps over and over
Weird, works for me but I had to restart the game.
EDIT: Just had a match on Gauntlet, that map throws my brain for a loop a bit. Can't quite work out the angles yet.
Is there no DLC-only playlist? That would suck... They don't even need to keep it for long. Just the first week and then remove it.

Yes, sbmm is a good thing for the whole community, I hope it's back.

Von tweeted that they will put up a dlc Playlist for 1 month. I don't see it yet. Played rise and splash and man, they are big, especially splash. That map has so many twists and turns it's going to take me a little while to learn.
Not that I can see.
Yeah the new zombie map I could tell was good when after a bit I realized this: "Holy shit is this way less complicated and way less narrow then Shadows of Evil." Seriously, maybe I'm still early in it. (Only got to round 13 and I let the Tram go without me. 
) but it feels like it harkins back to the old rather than the new.

Played a match of Domination on Skyjacked and Splash.
Skyjacked is meh.. Never liked the original anyways.
Splash is awesome though, just had the best first match on it. Got 4 care packages and got RAPS from them every time lol. The map feels too big for 6v6 though, hope I can get a game of ground war on it.
Edit: yep, much better in ground war

Still downloading, but good to hear the Zombies map is less complicated.
Never played Zombies, tried Shadows of Evil but it was way too complicated for my tastes. Good to hear Eisendrache is a bit simpler in design.

So I fed some dragon heads, got a sweet bow, shot a wall at the top of some stairs that had a symbol on it, and then had to bind to some kind of "upgrade quest". No clue what to do from there.
Found the Pack a Punch machine too. Much much easier to get than Shadows's machine. Figured out how to turn down gravity in the underground crypt area, but I'm not sure what it's purpose is yet. Musical easter egg was pretty easy to find.
Interesting map. Like the design so far.

You are supposed to be able to upgrade the bow. You might have found the start for that?

I like the maps, but Rise and Splash are pretty big. Team Deathmach was pretty boring on them. With Splash, everyone just goes to the middle lane lol.
Gauntlet looked big too
Is skyjacked still as fun as before?
Are the maps along with the rest of the maps on every Playlist?

Hows matchmaking? Last night was awful I went from finding 50 games In domination to find one or two of the same lobby over and over after the update.
Last night in an hour of playing I didn't see a single player under 350 spm. I have around 450 spm and it felt like SBMM is back but maybe people had been downloading the update still. But last night was an awful experience terrible lag in almost every lobby.

There will be, but it is in all modes regardless as everyone essentially has it, they just gated it off for those that paid and those that didn't.
They usually do but it seems like it's not that way on PS4 at the moment.
Yes all maps show up for every game mode with the exception of Ground War. Because of the bigger teams, the smaller maps are removed from the rotation there.
I think they finally fixed that, no more voting for the same map indefinitely.
What happens for players when it come sup in a list though and they didn't pay?
Or is it a system where if one person in the lobby doesn't have the pack then the maps never come up? Because if so that would really suck

Yeah, you can't vote for the same map indefinitely, it greys out after playing the same map two times I think. Then you only have the choice between one specific map or a random one.
I don't know what to think of the new maps yet. I think I like Gauntlet the most, just a simple three lane design with a cool theme. My least favorite I think is Rise, pretty campy.
And I think people who don't own the DLC get put in lobbies with other people who don't own the DLC. But doesn't this really fracture the player base?
I can't wait to try out the Ripper on Skyjacked. Just stay indoors and stab people that rush in.

It's in the patch apparently
Ooooh. Wow that's needless. Thanks though.

Seems like theres a million pathways on Splash after playing it once, Gauntlet is pretty simple just the 3 different places in 1 make it a little confusing, havent played Rise, Skyjacked looks nice but I forgot how to play the map(Hijacked), been so long
Can only imagine how trippy Splash or Gauntlet are when on drugs (dont do them so will never find out).
The lighting also seems different...better? Havent played any old maps yet so can't fully compare yet

so am i actually reading this correct, that the new maps are in the rotation of all playlists right off the bat? including HC TDM?!...
you mean us peasant HC TDM players dont have to wait for the next map pack to release to play the previous pack in our playlist of choice like in AW?

Non-DLC related, but patch related:
The MP matchmaking seemed to be better last night in grouping lobbies with similar rankings. I played against few players who weren't prestiged to some level.
Map selection now features an inability to select previously played maps. An okay feature unless Random brings it back again
Music in lobby and during the game is now more prominent, especially at points where the teams are close in score, or the round is almost over
The only new, non-DLC map I played was Exodus and I hated it. Shotgunners dream.
I'd like to hear opinions about the new maps before I spend $15.

Not yet, all maps are in the normal rotation, there is supposedly a DLC only playlist coming soon though.

I wish that we'd get Conquest Domination in COD.
For anyone who hasn't played Battlefield 3 or 4 or didn't play the mode, Conquest Domination differs from COD's version of Domination in that each team has a protected home base, each if the 3 flags need to be neutralized before being captured, and it drains tickets rather than adding points. Basically it's a mini Conquest designed for 6v6 or 8v8.

I like that Splash is huge but then the spawns flip so easily since there's such a large area that they can spawn from.
Only played in DOM though.

Did anyone find the Juggernog in the DLC map? (Or does everything switch around like "The Giant"?)
My run last night had me getting to round 13 and never finding it. Granted though, I never rode the tram... Cause I got on it... and then it left without me as I stood off of it.

I figured this would happen when I read about it on Reddit today. It sounds super easy to do like how does this get through QA.
Anyone who has been playing does matchmaking seem better today?
There's like 4 spots, probably more, just on Splash alone.
I've only had two half games so far, so I don't know if MM is better or worse.
