So, why exactly did you change Sand trap...and then get rid of both playlists in which it would be played? No one in their right mind is going to want to play 6v6 Sand Trap (or Sand Tarp).
And how exactly is getting rid of 3 maps in a BTB playlist going to make it better? Now, playing DLC BTB...you have BTB Social basically, except with only Avalanche, Standoff and Rat's Nest; rather than having 6 maps possible, you have 3. THREE! Who wants to play BTB on only 3 maps? How in the world is THREE maps better (and going to make more people want to play it) than FIVE (or six, if you would have just kept BTB Social and added Legendary to be required).
Makes absolutely no sense. It seems that monotony is what y'all are going for. Congrats, you've accomplished it.
*Edit* and Commodore makes an extremely excellant point. How is making BTB "exclusive" in that you're required to have the Legendary maps going to increase the amount of people playing? That's what you guys have been saying the problem with BTB has been is the population, so now you make it exclusive? The number of players playing DLC will be higher than it was on Social BTB...only due to the fact that those who had been playing RBTB will come back to social now. That was the main thing that y'all missed...when you split a "specific" kind of playlist into two (for example if you had Ranked AND Social SWAT), the numbers are going to look bleek. But now? You've made it worse. Awesome.
I know that you probably spend more time looking at numbers than playing Shishka, but what you fail to realize is that BTB is what makes this game fun. When the annoyance of competition get so high, you go play some BTB with your friends (be it ranked or social). You grab a warthog (turret or gauss), you jump in a scorpion, you know - epic freaking battles on epic maps. But do you realize how excruciatingly painful it is to have this playlist dangling in front of us, "here kiddies...you can have your social BTB...but you're not allowed to play on the three original BTB maps for this game...this'll make y'all want to play more...we promise?" Just keep social BTB where it is and require Legendary if you're having such a hard time getting people to buy the map pack and need an extra boost. Sheesh.
