Yesterday while i was playing a match on nuketown i got an update message...after the game update i re-started the game and i realized that there was no nuketown in search...so i searched on steam and i found that
Quote:Its hard to imagine the circumstances in which yoinking your pre-order bonus less than a week after launch would be considered a really good PR move. Nonetheless, this is the peculiar position Treyarch found themselves in when they removed the Nuketown 2025 playlist last night a multiplayer mode dedicated to the exclusive bonus map leaving the content only playable in unranked custom games.So WE PRE-ORDERED THE GAME TO GET NUKETOWN AND NOW THEY MADE IT NON-RANKED MAP(only for private matches)..fk u trollarch
As Treyarchs game design director David Vonderhaar tweeted yesterday: Double XP weekend is official over. That means Nuketown 2025 / 24-7 is as well. I know. RIGHT? Dont kill the messenger. [...] Nuketown 2025 / 24-7 will be back for special events. You can always play it with your friends in Custom Games.
The internet, however, was not feeling merciful. (Sample Twitter response to Vonderhaars message: FUCK YOU) And shortly thereafter Treyarch launched a new fast-action playlist called Chaos Moshpit, featuring none other than the Nuketown 2025 map.
And quite right, too. Nuketown may be one of the egregiously awful multiplayer maps ever made a mindless mosh-pit in which players plough into each other with no semblance of tactical thought but nonetheless, out of my obligation as a reviewer, I did pay an extra 15 so I could play its reincarnation as a Black Ops 2 pre-order/deluxe bonus. 15 should buy me more than a weekend of access to the content in ranked playlists leaving it accessible in custom matches is death by obscurity.
The value of pre-order bonuses is dubious at the best of times, and this can hardly improve customer confidence.
