I was under the impression that the code for the map comes inside the game, and not provided by the retailer as they would usually email the code separately. That's why none of the retailers know about it, because they have not been given any codes separately to provide.
Have GAME released any figures on how many pre-orders they've had?
How do they handle some people having the map with matchmaking? Do they just kick you from the server every time Nuketown comes around? Or do they get put on a server with just other GAME pre-orderers?
You'd have thought GAME would have been all over the ambiguity if they thought people didn't know there was an advantage by pre-ordering through them.
Yeah i'm not buying from GAME for NUK3TOWN. Pre-ordered from shopto for less than £40 and the price at game will probably be £50.
One map isn't worth £15

£49.99 online so £54.99 in store, yep one map isn't worth £15 or shopping at game either.
well its been delivered, no code that I can see.
Be interested to see how they handle splitting the user base like this. Do they have separate playlists that include the map?
I doubt anyone is driving pre-orders and season passes for this game as much as GAME. Forced isn't the word I'd use but I'm sure they could present a highly persuasive argument that a GAME exclusive is a good idea. Who else is going to be doing midnight openings for this game?
Shopto support just tweeted me this.
apperentally, both editions ( the standard and hardened edition) dont have the Nuketown maps!
Your about a week late. It was £35 on simplygames for about two weeks, it has since increased.I'm sorry for being off topic, but where did you find it for £35 from?
I wish Game would go under,my local one has staff with a combined IQ of 12.Well no Nuketown for me,which i consider a bonus to be fair
You can separate a company from the staff.Yeah, let's hope people get unemployed.
So naughty.
I'd love companies just to be nice to the people who buy their things.
that is incorrect, the Hardened edition has it, someone who got this version from Shopto had the nuketown code in it
if in a party with someone who has the map, it will display a warning and the party will have to leave matchmaking and start again.
if in a party with no one that has the map then you just wont see it come up in rotation I believe.
That's not how it worked in the last few cods. Matchmaking just excludes everyone who doesn't have the maps. So if one person doesn't have the map it will just match your party with other players without nuketown. It won't kick your party or anyone.
If treyarch is smart they would just have a nuketown 24/7 hopper for now and keep it out of the other playlists. I hate how dlc destroys matchmaking in cod.

So PC player base is effectively already halved when the game launches? That's not a good start. Well not actually halved, most PC copies have Nuketown but not all of them (GMG doesn't have it etc.). So if I understood that right, those without Nuketown have an extremely small player base day 1? So matchmaking is already severely crippled.
If any of you had actually visited game in last few months, the posters in stores say nuketown is exclusive to Game

Matchmaking doesn't work that way. If they can find people with Nuketown, they will put you with Nuketown owners. If they can't find Nuketown map owners that you can play with, they will put you with those that don't own it.
That's how matchmaking works in COD. So no, it won't be crippled just because of one map.

But how about for those without Nuketown? Surely they get a much smaller pool as a result of the system you're describing?

You do indeed.
Depends possibly ghosts and I know for sure advanced warfare will only match you with players who have the exact same maps as you. People who bought 1 or 2 map packs had terrible times finding games and just ended up deleting the maps to find matches.
The PC player base for CoD is pretty small and keeps getting smaller with each new installment. Steam players would rather play CSGO and TF2 then CoD for their FPS fix.I'm sure the system scales depending on the population. Anyway, I would imagine the community will be large enough with a franchise this big that both sides will have no problem.
