so as not to reduce playlist populations, should there be a "filter by DLC" option included in multiplayer, so everyone can play the playlists, but those who have new maps can still play those new maps?

(This is based around an idea I saw in the Halo 3 Forum yesterday, and as I don't expect Bungie will be making any new changes to Halo 3 now, felt it would be an idea that could possibly be made to go into Reach)

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

Yup, the most fun I have ever had in Halo-3 is when I have played on the original maps, you can only play on Assembly, Standoff, Rats nest, and Orbital so long...

They should do it the right way, aka the cod4 way and say, "if everyone in this party has dlc, try to match them up with others who have the dlc and allow those maps to show up sporadically." Halo's population was practically equal to cod4's when those maps were released and it worked perfectly. Playlists were available to everyone and dlc buyers got their money's worth.

This is the way most playlists work now with optional DLC requirements. If you play a playlist that only requires heroic there is still a chance you could get the payed maps if everyone happens to have them. So yeah if they spread that system over to all playlists and didn't require additional DLC to play that would be nice.

I would also like them to keep a specific playlist tuned to letting players who bought the most recent DLC play only what they paid for. This way they can get to know those maps whenever they want without having to play a bunch of other games just to get to their new maps.

The problem in this is that it most likely won't sell as much DLC as they did with Halo 3. Microsoft is a business, and if they think they can improve profits by requiring DLC they are going to do so. Lets hope they back off a bit though.

Trolls are insecure about their own pathetic lives that they act cool behind a keyboard.
Go back to being a failure kid.

As long as there's also a filter for only playing DLC maps.
