There's no way to "delete" the maps either due to them being rolled into the latest patch. So basically if you want to roll with the non-map owning playlist you're kind of hosed, right?

Entirely, the only way to stay in the 'general' population is buy no dlc, you can't deactivate it if you own it, because before you could at least skip downloading it if you wanted to turn it off.

There's going to be one bucket for no dlc, then one bucket for all dlc, and a bucket each for X dlc owned. Good poo poo as ever.

e: I think you can still get away with grouping with a non-dlc haver to play in the kiddy pool, that'd probably be the only way

Overall I think the dlc is okay. My favorite is Gauntlet which seems to come up in rotation the least. I love the jungle side, I pretty much hang out in that area the entire match. I have a feeling that's how it is for most people. Pick a section you like and chill in it. If you die, get back to your section and do it again. Personally I avoid the icy area. Way too many angles of death.

Next favorite is Rise. As someone posted before, it's not very verticle. There are containers and some windows to shoot from, but they are pretty low. My favorite section is the container alley.

Then we have Skyjacked. Pretty map and one of my favorites from BOII, but the super jump changes everything. All your favorite spots from original will probably feel different. Though it's still effective, sniping on this map isn't as beast as before.

Finally we have Splash, my least favorite of the new maps. It feels way too chaotic, like it was designed to force you to camp. It sort of have has the signature Treyarch 3 lanes, but with far too many alley.

Overall, I feel like the new maps are larger and designed to encourage camping. That might change once I play them more, but that's my first impression.

Oh, and for those that haven't played since the initial update (losers), they snuck back in Exodus. I'm not familiar with the reason for them initially removing it. But it's funny, because hours before dlc release I was sperging about Treyarch releasing dlc before fixing and giving us back a map we already paid for. I ate my words like I do my dinner, in one bite.

Actually, I think there is a way to delete dlc content. I think you have to hover over the app on Ps4 homepage and press down to get to below where the game info is. Not sure which one, but there is a tab that shows all the content you have for the game, I may be wrong but I think you delete stuff from here.

It's content licenses, the download for the maps used to be separate, now they're part of the patches, so if you own it and its active on your account, its live

But the maps were part of the patch, so you have the content and license regardless. Unless there's a way to just remove the license that I'm not aware of. I just got my PS4 a couple months ago, so I'm still figuring things like this out.

Edit - I just looked and I'm not seeing any way to deactivate the license for the DLC. So...it looks like if you own it you're stuck with it.

I have the DLC and I played stronghold twice last night. It's not like you're stuck only in the new maps. They just pop more often right now. The bigger issue is that if you own the DLC you can't be matched with people who DON'T own the dlc.

About your father. If it's any help, he's in the ground now. Sure, it's bad news for him. But on the other hand, it's party time for all those little worms.
The maps should be free, and the dlc be new skins, new operators , and new weapons that are all overpowered. Then one month later they all get nerfed to sidegrades.

you can wall run around almost the entirety of skyjacked, including bypassing the middle by going around the outside of the little hut. also there are some non-out of bounds hover vehicles at the back to hide on.

The skip to get past the hut is really cool, dunno why they made the walkway on the side broken in half though, I love wallrunning but gun fights when you're both running suck because you usually both die

Anyone else having problems with clips and screen shots not saving?
This used to be an issue with PS4 but I haven't seen it in a good long while, I thought it got fixed in an update. If your stuff isn't saving correctly (your "last 15 minutes" clip is actually from 2 hours ago) then before you get in game press the share button, then back out. I've never had problems with actual recording when you use double or long press to start, whichever way you have it set up.

No, Adderal, meth and booze are the performance enhancers. You need money for those.
I've seen enough people with thousands more deaths than kills to convince me that stoners and the unemployed merely have more time to go negative.

Played my first few games of this COD tonight, second map was this and this exact exploit happened, caused as much aggro as you can imagine. It's a shame because that's a fun map when there are no shitlords on it.

Wait until you see the version number in the upper-right hand corner change. It will start at XX.0.0.0 (I think XX is 48 right now), and then once the 0s change to other values and stop changing (that is important, it might change a few times), press X.

I did /accounted for both these things in multiple attempts today to no avail. Thanks for trying, though!
