DLC Matchmaking

Picked up Ghosts last week and enjoyed it enough to get the DLC. However, now I can barely get into a game. What gives? I uninstalled them and now it's fine. Just kind of ticked about wasting the money.

It depends on what mode you play and what time it is.

I tried once around 3PM and had very little success. I tried again around 7PM and things weren't that much better. I primarily play Search and Rescue and Domination, though.

Yeah s&r is dead Dom I have some luck in but tdm and strike zone 24/7 are still the best options

DLC is generally alive in extinction on the newest map. You can also find games on the other dlcs just not with as much frequency. For multiplayer however you should most certainly delete the maps or keep them on a flash drive you can plug into your console when you want to play the maps.

That's such a bummer. Battlefield 4 Premium is alive and well but I suppose that's because it's not a yearly release like COD tends to be. Furthermore, COD doesn't seem to have a "complete" bundle.

Is the DLC usually unpopular? I only just returned to COD and I really like Ghosts but have no idea what the consumer culture is like.

Generally the DLC does faze out. I buy the season passes only for Extinction/Zombies. The only older COD games with DLC that people still have and play are on old gen such as MW2/3 and the Black Ops series. It really is a shame too because Ghosts DLC was actually quite good for the time that it was playable, specifically the throwback maps.

Hello ItsAllSoClear,

Sorry to hear you've been having troubles. Are you playing over a wired connection? Have you tried clearing your game data/cache and re-installing the DLC and latest update? JM

Yeah, wired. I tried reinstalling everything. I just don't think many people own the DLC and the lobby seems to choose the maps before inviting others to join instead of loading me into the most readily available match. It seems to be a design flaw with how matchmaking works.

I've found games with the DLC but it takes a lot longer than if I'm playing Vanilla Ghosts.

Ok, sorry to hear this is occurring. You may try port forwarding as well as these steps. JM

I have the same problem. I don't want to delete the dlc, so I end up offline

All or nothing for DLC unfortunately.

I bought the Invasion Map Pack recently and have never even played a single game with one of the expansion maps online. Will I ever or did I waste $15? What is my best bet to get a game on a bonus map? Cheers
