im a little confused... I just spent 10$ and... | Forums

So if this problem is just because of lack of people buying and playing the DLC than i have to know, what does ubisoft say about this? i mean they made their money for the game and from the people who spent money on the DLC, but this has to be a little bit of a surprise to the developer. I mean i literally cannot find one Artice Strike Seige game, not one...

I knew this game would die quick i posted about it back when i was invited into the beta, i knew for so many reasons why it would end so quick into its release. People denied everything i said but thats ok, now everyone and the people who felt it was necessary to argue any idea or critisism i had about the game, have all moved on. I just am so upset i was right, and that there is not even 8 people out of everyone who bought the DLC that are playing Seige at the same time. As a developer that is a major failure, and it makes me look at Ubisoft and the Ghost Recon franchise differently. I cant even relie on Ubi to deliver a complete Ghost Recon game anymore, one that will last atleast to their first major DLC; considering in this case the DLC was available for purchase at the games release...

Please someone explain to me what exactly is happening. Is it Ubisofts poor servers? or the lack of people playing this game?
I just spent 10$ for Artic Strike but i cant play any games, especially Seige with the new Artic Strike Pack. I am confused because i cannot find anyone to play with. Why is this happening? is this game that dead already where no one plays? or for that matter did no one spent money on the DLC so that now i cant play with anyone? or is this just another server issue that occurs very often. Please if someone could elaberate...

I stoped playing for about a month because of the repetive style of gameplay, Seige was fun but not enough to continiously play. So i came back expecting to see more than what i see now. So again please someone explain what is going on here..

I don't think the DLC was handled well. And it doesn't go in the main rotation with the other maps, as other multiplayer games do. You have to enable it in the menu.

I don't feel it was good value for money.

if i knew that no one would play i would have never bought this DLC, they most deffinitly should have handled it better than this. Im sitting here in a seige Lobby with DLC enabled and i cant believe not one person is playing this thing. I wish i could see how many people where online.

You're lucky 'cause you do not find matches in dlc, I am three days I try to play and there are more people in my time slot ( from 8 to 11 pm hong kong time) , I have waited hours in the lobby but we come max to tre people .... So yes you are very luky if you can stil play

I honestly didn't even know you could play Conflict, Siege, Decoy, and Sabateur on the DLC maps. I was under the impression that the only game mode with DLC maps was Stockade, and I don't wanna play that game type.

How do you get the DLC maps on the other game modes?

In the menu select in the preferences to use the dlc map and after start the mode you prefer like you always do

paid dlc ALWAYS fragments multiplayer communities in EVERY GAME that its done with. the smaller the player base, the worse the issue

In the Multiplayer Menu chose "Match Preferences", Battle is the original map pack, Battle - Arctic Strike Pack is original maps + new maps.

you sir have not played MW2. they had what. 2 DLC's? there was no segregation. in fact they were just put into the random rotation with the other maps and they only came up if everyone in the lobby had the DLC. this wasn't a problem tho because everybody had them. MW3 is bad tho. how many sections are there now? 3? yeah it sucks.

as for this DLC yeah. it's dead. it's only real value was the guns and i think thats the only reason they postponed the release was to add more of them. the maps are just as Ghost faction friendly as the others except bigger. yeah they were kinda full the first week of artic strike then everyone just moved back to the old ones. whats fun about playing bodark and having ghost capture a objective before your even run half way to the objective? it's everyone fear of playing new maps as bodark that killed the new maps popularity. i knew stockade was going to fail the day they announced the new mode, not the day it came out, the day they announced it. it's COD TDM. no one likes long respawn timers and this game isn't fast paced enough for it and thats why no one plays it.

here is what they need to do. and i posted this in my other thread but i think it's a good idea so here it is again. rotate the faction spawn points through out a game, not like COD but something like that along with the objective spwan points "FAIRY" so the same maps will feel brand new again. of corse do all this after the hit detection is fixed.

i think they did say the next title update everyone will change factions after every match. so thats kinda good i guess.
