If they add the maps to drop zone do you know if its gonna be to where you have to buy the maps to play that gametype, or are they gonna make it where if everyone in the lobby has downloaded the new maps then it will give you the option to vote for a new map? Because that would be wack. I hope they dont pull a halo and make it mandatory or else you cant play.

I prefer to earn my killstreaks instead of getting them free in care packages. This is why the bad players hang out in drop zone. Also as someone said the XP sucks. You cant use specialist in drop zone either. Specialist is hands down the fastest way to level.

I guess I never paid close enough attention as to the 20 pts. translating to XP. I just try to win, baby.

Lol, listen I know how to play the objective in this game type. I roll with a group of five to six friends and we finish matches in just a few dz's. You DO NOT get xp for holding the dz, you never have. Go into the game and just hold the dz. (Don't get any kills) Tell me how much xp you get. I bet it will be the match bonus of about 200-300 xp.

I can see arguing with you will be about as helpful as arguing at a wall, regardless until they put xp on par with at least Dom or tdm it will be a for fun mode only for me.

You and what ever team you may roll with are welcome to play with my team, and we will be happy to show you that there is a lack of xp in this game mode.

You do realize that in DZ you get xp for killing AND being in the red smoke right? That's kind've the point. Maybe your issue is you don't know how to play the game mode.

Um, I only play the DZ, and I average about 2200-5k per match. Honestly I'm getting more by playing other game types. I just don't level nearly as fast playing DZ as I do playing other games types.

Lack of XP has been a complaint since this game type launched. So, in the future don't just assume that someone is "kill-whoring." If I were doing that I would probably be pulling the numbers you are, as the only time you get xp when when you kill other players.

start playing the objective then and stop killwhoring. I average between 5-7000 points per game without batting an eye.

Leaderboard, I can agree with. They already addressed the fact that the new maps are not in. They have to put them in with the title update.

@fourzerotwo so rob mate will you be adding the mappacks to the dropzone game mode??? xxxxxxxxxxx

Robert Bowling ‏ @fourzerotwo

@MariaaxBabes We currently plan to, however it requires it to be included in the next Title update. We can't update it like normal playlists

Uh also they need to add more xp for this game type! Then I would probably play this game type exclusively.

I'm a DZ fanatic... play with a couple of great crews and we are nearly unbeatable... I understand they have this as a "community" game but based on the reaction it got when it was dropped... why can't they just make it (a) permanent and (b) the same as all other modes... a leaderboard and of course... DZ on the new maps! Piazza would be a blast to run and gun.. and overwatch... man... that would be crazy fun! I twittered to Bowling...holy... he just quit!
