My 4:30am joke failed! Sorry about it.. Thought it would come across more. :[
Just to comment on the rotation. We plan on releasing two new maps every month. We didn't want overwhelm players especially as we get 6 - 12 months down the road with 22 - 34 maps that they needed to be familiar with to be successful. We plan on taking community feedback on what maps they want in and out and constantly rotating them. As long as you own the map, you can play that map in privates in Horde, Versus, Co-op vs Bots. If a someone owns a map, that person can host and share among everyone else even if they don't own it. This also includes spectators who just want to watch and may not own the map.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the SP to help clear things up.
- The SP offers access to 24 post launch DLC maps at anytime in private play. We plan to release 2 per month. The maps can be used in private play even if they aren't in the playlist rotation. They do not expire and this isn't a subscription for one year. You will have them forever.
- The SP also offers access to the Developer Playlist which will give you early access to the maps prior to them being released and in their own special playlist. You can try them out before others and match against others owners of the SP on this playlist.
- It also includes an Airdrop that includes 5 Operations Packs, 5 Versus Boosters, 5 Horde Boosters and 2 Elite Packs. 85 cards in total. This replaces the six pack offer and kicks it up to 17. Text is still being updated at retailers.
- Versus Boosters include five random consumable Bounties for use in Versus MP. Versus Bounties offer XP rewards for completing the bounties objective in a Versus match. If you fail the bounties objective, they are not consumed. They are only consumed if you succeed.
[*]Horde Boosters include four random Horde skills along with a consumable Horde Bounty. Horde Bounties offer XP rewards for completing the bounties objective in a Horde run. If you fail the bounties objective, they are not consumed. They are only consumed if you succeed.
[*]Operation Packs include five random cards of these types -- Character Skins, Weapon Skins, Horde Skills, Versus and Horde Bounties. You are guaranteed a rare card or better.
[*]Elite Packs provide five random cards of these types -- Character Skins, Weapon Skins, Horde Skills, Versus Bounties and Horde Bounties but you are guaranteed an epic card or better.
We will have more info on cards in a dev blog coming very shortly. Hope that explains some items a bit.
