Official Revolution DLC Feedback Thread

Ok boys - I'm traveling all week for work & won't get to play the new maps until Friday. So, let me know what you think after you've had a chance to play a few games (and use the new gun).

Same. I'd really like to hear about Hydro. I'm most excited for that map with it's small "MLG style" symmetry and engagement areas.

Haven't played hydro yet.

Just got it loaded onto one xbox and played one round of domination on the snow map.

Map looked good and seemed to have a good layout.

For those buying the maps and putting it on more than one xbox.......

Only the account that purchased the DLC will get access to the new gun. All players on the very first console you put it on will have access to the maps though. I don't know about the zombies part yet.

They seem to have dedicated playlists for the DLC this time. The options were....

Team Deathmatch
Domination
Moshpit

I'll play some more after I get it loaded on the other box and give a better report.

Im live streaming on twitch if you wanna watch me suck it up!

Yeah I think Grind is ok. Not my favorite of the four. Getting use to the Piecekeeper gut definitely won't be my go to gun.

I only paid the $15.00 for the 1200 microsoft points at Gamestop. I figured that I would buy them individually if the first was cool. Also I didn't buy the one that only had zombie maps in black ops one, and I am figuring that one of the downloads will be that way again.

I personally like Hydro. The added element of the flood zones is pretty cool, unless you get caught in them.

I honestly like the new maps. They don't feel as congested and close quarters as all the originals. A little more open space.
I do think the peacekeeper should have been better. If you're gonna intro a new weapon that people are paying for, make it worth it. not just another average in every way option.

I like the new maps and the gun. I got about 8 swarms with the peacekeeper on the first day. My least favorite map is Hydo. I like Mirage the best.

I am with Dave on Mirage. That gets my vote everytime. Especially now that I rolled over escort drone, emp, and warthog twice on it.

Showoff's!

I'll stick with my care package and counter UAV.

Swollen I'm with you. I'll just add engineer and double my chances of somethin legit.

Hydro is just like Express (one with the train) Downhill is just gay, Mirage is awesome for camping on, but my fav is the skatepark it's not as bad as everyone thought it would be, the Peacekeeper is good all though it could have done with being burst not fully auto as it bounces a bit at long range but it works good as a secondry with my crummy skorpion

Have only been on the new map pack once so far and havent played Downhill yet. Hydro is my least fav too as it is just to closed off and tight quartered for me. Like Mirage the best but again the biggest map.
I haven't tried this but did anyone else try to destroy those Wacky Wavin Blowups? Hell, I would have fun just doing that with various weapons types.

I ran into an interesting DLC situation over the weekend. I have the Season Pass and Revolution content downloaded on the Xbox I use in the bedroom but not on the one the kids use in the spare room. I was curious if the Peacekeeper would show up in my Custom Classes if I tried to use the kid's Xbox. When I logged on, I found that the Peacekeeper was still in my custom classes, even though there was no DLC on that XBox. I thought I would play a game or two and see if it would actually let me use it. Not only did it let me use it, but the new DLC maps showed up in the rotation of maps to play.

Does that mean if you have the season pass, it recognizes the user and no DLC is necessary on secondary machines? WTF?

That doesn't make sense (i'm not doubting you at all here)... you'd think that the 1.5GB install was data for the maps etc. If you can play on another system without the install... mind=blown. haha

I know that I can play multiple accounts on the same xbox and all have the DLC, but I didn't think there was any way to play on an entirely different machine and still have the extra content.

Are you sure they didn't download it too?

Probably means the gun was either already on the disc or it was included in the game update that came out the day the dlc did.

I would think that it was in the update. The reason I say this is that the night before the update was available for download I had an indication that I had a new weapon available for unlocking in the sub machine-gun class even though I had all weapons unlicked. Just my 2 cents.

I noticed this as well.
I'm assuming the DLC was downloaded in the update, but access to it is thru your account. Therefore allowing you to access it anywhere your account logs in. Otherwise, as others have said, this would be impossible unless it downloaded without you noticing.
It may have been something they did in order to make the peacekeeper playable for everyone if it was laying on the ground.
Another possibility could be that because your account has access to the DLC you were able to see them in the playlists and linked to them thru a host with DLC. You probably wouldn't have been able to host on the other Xbox.

I just had a weird thought! They may add new weapons during each DLC! What do you think?
