No Control on DLC maps? No "All Maps in Rotation" Playlist?
Update:
According to the weekly update from Dec.11th, you will be able to play Control on the new maps starting December 23rd. For a week. Not next week. Christmas week. So, I'm quite upset, now.
Next week will also only feature one DLC Playlist, since the second will be replaced by Iron Banner, which will be on base game maps and just like the last one.
Original Post:
Now, before I launch the expletive train to derail at Bungie Station, I wanted to make sure I am not missing something. So I am asking and maybe someone can clarify:
1. How do I play Control on the new maps?
I don't care for Clash, even less for Rumble, but apparently these are the only modes you can play right now on the DLC maps. Did I buy the DLC only to have to wait for Bungie to allow me to play it in my preferred mode? I know the modes are supposed to rotate each week, but what about THIS week?
2. Where is that "old and new maps all in one rotation" playlist?
It was mentioned several times in weekly updates and articles that the new maps would be integrated into the existing rotation. But apparently they're not. I buy map packs and such for the sake of added variety. Three maps in one rotation is the exact opposite of adding variety. Its only purpose seems to be to make you get bored of the new maps quicker.
3. And where are the announced permanent Combined Arms and Salvage Playlists?
Bungie took First Light and Bastion out of Clash and Control for their own, two map playlist (which is very stupid). But that playlist, Combined Arms, is not even there, and neither is Salvage, both of which were said to become permanent additions.
So, for this week I am seemingly stuck with 6 maps for Control (as the only available objective mode), 6 maps for regular Clash, 3 maps for DLC Clash (which already sounds repetitive and boring, even if I liked Clash), plus Rumble (regular and DLC) and Skirmish.
I want to play the new maps in Control.
I want to play the new maps in a Control Playlist that adds them into the rotation with the old maps.
I want a map rotation that actually rotates the maps.
I want the same for Salvage.
I paid for the DLC. Why won't you let me play it?

Edited by Broken Messiah: 12/9/2014 5:10:39 PMIf i remember right, it was mentioned in one update or another that the playlists for the dlc rotate each week between two sets. This week is clash and rumble, and next would be the other two modes. Edit: Yup, it says in last week's update that there will be rotation of game types in the "Premium Playlist". There will even be new game modes. Personally, I wish the matchmaking system would choose a map 1st, and then choose players that have access to that map. That way there could be one playlist for both dlc owners and vanilla. I have no idea how doable that is though.
