Complete these steps before we can determine any other causes? We did bro, now what????

So it's been 3 months since I posted on here and still nothing?! I havn't played COD much after getting Skyrim for Christmas from my husband. And today I put MW3 in and I STILL can't play DLC4?! I also like many above have no issue with my internet, wirewall, or port forwarding. Everything worked just fine after installing DLC4 for about 2 weeks. Then Xbox updated and then no more Multiplayer with DLC maps. YES it was that update. How do I know? BECAUSE EVERYTHING WORKED BEFORE IT! And then after it nothing. Like I said above, if I press <| to disable DLC content, everything works fine, JUST NO DLC CONTENT! If I delete DLC4, the others work fine. So this is obviously something to do with the new update and DLC4 together. Going on about port forwarding when you have SEVERAL people telling you that they did everything you said and still nothing, and that with their personal experience (like mine) shows it to be the content, then WHY don't you people actually look into the real problem?! Did we all really pay for this content and we now can not play it, or in most cases, any of it. And are you people really doing nothing about it?! Poor business bucko :/

sorry to hear you guys are going through the same thing but I guess we should not be to shocked about it between the hackers that go unchecked on thier servers and the fact that nothing is ever their fault this type of problem was expected. done with cod games for good this time last time they get my cash and then say not our responsibilty.....

Same as me mate, I think the words "ripped off" come to mind

Done everything but I am coming to the conclusion that I have been a victim of Criminal Fraud. The problem was well known about by the company and the product still sold, basicly corporate theft.

So I then tried to call activision.......... Surprise, surprise, cant find a phone number for customer services.

Thanks for the info guys, could have saved everyone a lot of time if Activision or whoever just said that months ago. The small 2week's I had playing dlc 4 maps were a fluke or just to encourage me to buy 2 and 3 before it stopped finding games? . 2 map purchases wasted, shame as parish was an amazing map with an mp7 and claymores.

Hi blurrzon, looks like it next time just set fire to your cash. Saves time and hassle, I spent near 3 month looking for a fix and nothing suggested worked. Some good maps on that dlc package aswell.

Sorry you cant get any further forward with this. I did delete the key for it on my Xbox, and multiplayer isn't as slow and scrappy but still having slow startup on my console and mw3 game.

No games found blah etc.

Hi there, after 3 months and being told to portfforward and put in dmz etc which I done a year ago when setting up my Xbox live account I still cant get any games on dlc maps, and why was I able to play the 4th pack for two weeks before my dashboard update which straight after this update I was unable to join any lobbies. I dont have lots of cash to throw about and won't down load the other 2 just to play them. Black ops 2 in my eyes is gash and have already given my pal the game. I used Microsoft point to pay for the dlc packs, would this make it easier to claim my hard earned money back. Love playing mw3 hate the constant issues that seem to surround it. I only got Xbox live for the cod, mw series. Sad maybe. But enjoy releasing pent up rage in a safe and fun way

Please advise.

Regards. Paddy

Piazza is okay. Liberation is so-so; a tradiotnal sniper's paradise.

http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Content_Pack_2

Overwatch is okay. It reminds me of Highrise from MW2.

http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Content_Pack_3

Black Box is good map that is well balanced. Snipers and Run 'N Gunners can do well in this map.

http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Content_Pack_4

Sanctuary is a good map like Black Box, but because of its elevation killstreak rewards like Reapers and AC-130's can't be used proplerly; trajectories are too tight.

Foundation is a map I personally dislike.

http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Content_Pack_5

Oasis is a beautifully rendered map. Reminds me of the Middle Eastern Maps from MW1 and 2, just not as war torn.

So maybe you haven't bought all the DLC and get booted from a lobby because you don't have the next map up. Big deal. You move on and search for a new match. If anything, that made it even MORE tempting to buy the new maps...I know it was for me back in the COD4/MW1 days haha!

Agreed. The old way was better.

Well, after saying I wouldn't do it, I bit the bullet and bought all available DLC packs...mostly because I wanted more maps for Special Ops.

Sure enough...now that I have all of them, more matches are available in all playlists (though still nowhere NEAR as many if you disable DLC. I generally see "10 matches available" for Domination, for example...so I'm still feeling a bit ripped off).

I'm still trying to figure out this whole "Unable to join any games after downloading DLC 4". I've asked these questions before, but no one responded or they shy'd away for some reason.

1.) Do the players have all four DLC's, or just the one's they want?

ie. Player has only DLC 1 and 4

2.) Are the players experiencing this Non-Premium Elite members (as in they bought the DLC's separately)?

I play on Xbox, have Elite Premium and have all four DLC's, but I never had any problems joining a game.

This is oviously a problem with the update. Instead of talking robot and reading off of a script, address the issue. Turn your Xbox on and see what happens! Really not trying to be rude here, But you can't say it's not the DLC or update until you try it on a normal everyday xbox/PS3. When I personally press <| to turn off the DLC, everything works fine. When I press <| again to enable DLC mostly nothing works. Please address this issue and find a fix soon, Thanks.

I have dlc 1 and 2 and have had this issue for ages. Thought it was to do with peeps leaving the game and playing black ops 2 or the new maps for mm3. However I do distinctly remember in hind sight after reading this post that everything went weird after I installed dlc 2. I cant find as many games and the games that I do get to play took ages to find. I have deleted dlc 2 and will test. I will report my results. BTW my NAT has always been open but I decided wtf I'll forward the required ports for xbox live in my Virgin Super Hub to see if that would help but the issue remained.

I would hate to think that the way to fix this is to purchase the remaining map packs. I think that if that is the case I will be posting and blogging all over the web that the fix for this is that users are being forced into forking out yet more money to be able to play this game instead of the developers fixing its match making capabilities.

For all with this problem. Download DLC2 and you will find your games again. Cheers!

Hello. Whats now going on with this problem with the DLC4? I have the same problem... i'm from germany. I have DLC1 & DLC4. With DLC4 installed i found no games, specially in search and destroy. I have a chat session with Microsoft support after this i have a phone call with activison, after all... same problems!

If that is true it is a pita to enable dlc to play certain matches, then disable dlc to play certain matches such as hq pro and then enable dlc again for other matches. I have talked to Sony thru email and they are going to refund my money.
