Remember when you needed all the DLC to play on most playlists?
Remember when DLC playlists were NEVER removed even if they had low populations?
Remember when you got paired up with people that had the required DLC?
Remember when BTB was fun because you played on every single large map whether it was DLC or not?
Remember when you played on maps that you paid for with your hard-earned money?
What happened to all of that? Why haven't we had a DLC restriction on EVERY playlist in Halo Reach and Halo 4? The games have been out long enough, people should have the DLC by now.

This is why paid DLC for multiplayer games is a bad thing. It alienates the part of the population that didn't buy the DLC for whatever reason if the devs incorporates the new elements into existing playlists and if the devs don't do that the people that did pay for it complain about DLC-only playlists. Mass Effect 3 had it right. The DLC was free and everyone had all the new maps and characters so the whole population remained intact while new content was added.
