I don't know, my breaks away from Nuketown were just fine.
You forgot to mention the people are demons that submit to their master's beck and call.
How?

I think we can all accept that the Double XP and Nuketown 24/7 on launch weekend was just a ploy to shift more units.
I tweeted Treyarch but more people should be tweeting, although as I said earlier I never got the game I'm just opposed to what has happened.

So is this the latest DLC thing guys? Preorder bonuses that end up only being "trials" for the upcoming dlc, where people have to rebuy it to actually really own it?
I envision them more as gray-skinned underlings, hunched and broken through years of forced piggy back rides around the Activision campus.
You still can, in custom games? They only pulled the playlist that the public could play on. Non-pre-orders are screwed. Pre-orders still have the map. It's scuzzy but if they're going to do this, I think this is just going to make people do custom games similar to Halo 3's community doing what they wanted when Bungie wouldn't do it for them.
I have had a twitter acct for a couple of years.. I never look at it, and I've never made a single tweet. I now have 1 tweet to my name.
Pack up everyone, this is no longer an issue.
Except you can't lvl up in custom games.
The entire reason people play Nuketown is because it's small as hell and you get lots of XP quickly.

You don't know how close to the truth that really is.
Who cares about leveling up? What are you all on about? Do you play to level up or enjoy the game? Fuck XP. Nuketown means aim and shoot. Every other map outright sucks with all the crappy design decisions.
Nuketown is like the old arena shooters like Quake 3. I was actually having conversations and laughing with teammates AND opponents in the lobbies. I can't remember the last time that happened!
The rest of the game is different. It's full of everything that sucks about multiplayer gaming.
Take away ALL the XP and I guarantee tons of people would still play it exclusively.

Just to clarify: custom matches = private matches? As in, invite only?
Struggling to see where it says for a limited time only.
Nothing in that picture seems wrong. People who preordered this still have that multiplayer map do they not?
Ah, voice of reason. Nevermind guys, we had it wrong the whole time.
Correct.

I believe so
That isn't what people are taking issue with. Did you read even a single post in this thread?
The thing is people were having a lot of fun, you know? Not everything has to be about leveling up and XP and leet skillz, as someone else said. If this was really their concern then they could have reduced XP for games in Nuketown.

Looks like Treyarch threw the carrot on the stick away instead of giving it to the donkey.
I did, and I'm not saying that is what people have issue with. Seems you lack reading comprehension.
So what you're saying is "people are wrong, and stupid, to take issue with the removal of this playlist", correct?
The map, not the playlist, was used as a pre-order incentive. Entitled fucking assholes.
Nope. What I'm saying is that "Nothing in that picture seems wrong." I then go on to ask the following question: " People who preordered this still have that multiplayer map do they not?" Which, after reading posts in this thread, seems to hold true. However I was making sure that this was still the case and thus asked the question.
thats cool but they didnt advertise it as a map that wouldnt even be in rotation. Lol at playing the entitled card though.
did you read any of my other posts inches above that one
When was the last time you played a game where a map was made only for custom or offline play? When do you draw the line on taking things completely literally and expect nothing more TommyT? How much are you going to take apart this particular post?
There is no reason from the prerelease hype to imagine that Nuketown wouldn't be integrated into gameplay. There is also no reason from the release to believe that it would be removed after less than a week.
And to you and TommyT in-game it said it would be 24/7 and NEVER CLOSE.
Take another look:
That itself is a direct and blatant lie.
Go ahead and dissect my post but you're wrong. It was hyped to hell and back and the damn game said it was there to stay. There is no counter to that. Is it legal? Fuck if I know. Is it ethical? Fuck no.
What a waste of money for me and my friend.
He believes that if he does pedantic damage control that shareholders who are monitoring this thread will award him stock.
Just so we're clear, I bought the digital deluxe version so I could get the extra map for Zombie mode and for Multiplayer. If I'm understanding this correctly, the extra twenty dollars that I paid for this game now, effectively, is gone as I cannot use the map, that I bought, till Activision decides to let it be played?
That's pretty fucked. Especially since the upgrade and the digital deluxe edition are still being sold, both advertising the extra map. How is that not illegal?
EDIT: -Nuketown 2025 Bonus Map – Relive the close quarters chaos of this classic fan-favorite map re-imagined in a 1960s visionary depiction of the “model home of the future.”
In case anybody wants the direct quote. How anybody could think this means I would only be able to play it in custom games is just out of their mind.

So I'm wrong in my understanding that people who preordered this map still have it to play? That's why I asked my question, to clarify that I understand what I've read previously.
And to you and TommyT in-game it said it would be 24/7 and NEVER CLOSE.

I wasn't asking anything about that. Seems like you're having a hard time with a simple question being asked as well, which is rather sad. I mean, I quoted a particular picture and asked a question that related to it. Yet, two people decide to go off on large, rage-filled tangents and can't just answer a simple question.
:lol seems like you two have some misplaced angst.
Don't worry! Come february or so, you can own Nuketown 2025 for the low price of 1200 Microsoft points, as part of map pack 1! Or subsrcibe to the Elite season pass NOW to get early access!
The Wii U has no Nuketown at all, as the Wii U isn't set up to download DLC items until sometime in December.
orznge - having the map available for only private matches is worthless, not to mention unprecedented.
It's a fair assumption that nuketown would be available for public play like every other damn cod map.
