WTF is this about. I really don't give a frog's fat a s s about Terminal, it should have stayed in MW2 where it belongs. But because now they put this peice of junk in here I HAVE to download it so I can play the maps I payed for. WTF is up with that I don't want it. I don't want it cluttering up my HDD, just piss of with it. Keep your free crap off to the side, why does it have to disrupt what I payed for?
If Terminal shows up, leave the lobby and join a different one. Keep doing that, it's what I do.
Why should have to put up with that? I don't want it at all.
You don't have to, just a suggestion.
Thats the thing, is yes I have to. If I want to play the maps that I payed for, I have to download their free junk, there seems to be no way around it.
Trust me I did the same thing, I didn't want to get Terminal, but I wan't to play the other maps, so that's the way I do it.
Yeah I know. Why do they even do this? It should be optional.
simple answer as it was causing a major matchmaking issue.
by having the terminal dl as optional they created another fragmentation of those with it and those without on top of the usual fragmentation caused by usual dlc drops
easiest way to fix it was to make the terminal dl mandatory.
I don't see why it would cause an issue with matchmaking. Every other COD that had DLC never had this issue, why now? If I only bought one map pack in one of the older games it made no issue with matchmaking.
So why now the big problem that if I don't have the same maps?

because this is the first cod with elite drops,
every time something is released the player pool is fractured into those with and those without. you never really noticed it before in previous games as there was a 3month gap between dlcs and it balanced out.
adding a free dl like terminal added another level of fracturing that was the straw to the matchmaking camels back .
It's NOT hard to download the DLC....damn! This is what 'grinds your gears'??? Come on man....
This months DLC was in one bundle and Terminal was in a seperate bundle because it was a free map. Terminal was optional to download, just like the two free face off maps a month or two ago.
The free mapsl may be optional to download it. But if you don't download it, you can not play your original purchased DLC. So its not really optional, unless I eat the $15 I payed for the first two DLC map packs, and never play them again.
Sorry but nobody is asking you to "eat $15 dollars" that is also optional.
Had I known from the get go that free maps were going to be released, and that if I bought DLC that I would have to download the free maps in order to keep playing the DLC I payed for, I would never have bothered buying DLC in the first place. That information was not disclosed when I bought the DLC, as the free maps did not come out until after.
As I clearly stated I do not want Terminal. But I have to download it, or else I can not play my original DLC, it is disabled until you download all the DLC you are entitled to, as the game says. I may be entitled to the free maps, but I do not want them, but I HAVE to download them or else I can not play the DLC I payed for, see where I'm getting at?
If I do not download Terminal I eat the money, as I can not play the maps.
WOW, moaning about a free map, people these days lol
I feel the same way about Dome,but can't do anything about it.
It is quite stupid that you have to download the map in order to play with the others. But, seeing as how it's IW and their match making is the worst, doesn't really surprise me much. I mean, these talented developers are the same people that create logic that puts you into games where you're placed on a team getting raped 60-12 in KC and then punish you with a loss if you decide to back out. And, my personal favorite, being put back into the same lobby/game you just left 3 times in a row.

its not iw's fault the blame lays squarely at activisions feet for giving as the stoopid elite monthly drops and elite playlists. Iw HAD no choice.
dont mind blaming iw for stuff when its actually their fault but this time wrong direction to tar and feather
that was hilarious when you wrote that had you known that you would have to download free maps you wouldn't have paid for the others. ridiculous.
dammit I only want what i paid for......don't you dare give me free stuff.
the nerve of some game developers.
classic!
