It will be interesting to see how often DLC shows up in playlists like Rumble Pit, Living Dead, and BTB.
DLC maps almost never show up in BTB, even in a party of 8 with all DLC. Being able to go to Anni BTB to play Headlong and Timberland was great, otherwise, we never got to play on them in MM. Also, will Anni BTB gametypes move over to the regular BTB playlist? TU, Heavies, and Anni?
No more Anni FFA means trying to get the Anni infection achievements will be even more difficult, as that gametype hardly ever showed up in the Anni FFA playlist to begin with. I’m not sure that the Anni maps are included in the Living Dead map rotation.
As for the other playlists, I stopped playing Firefight months ago, Reach Action Sack was largely uninspired and boring, and Squad DLC should have been TU’d and/or axed a long time ago.
343 should have organized the playlists in this fashion when the TU first came about. It’s much easier to see Vanilla v. TU.
edit: Stinks for those who own only the Halo: CEA disc, they won’t be able to play the two BTB maps on their disc unless it’s in customs.
