Are the DLC worth it now?

[DAEMON THE BLISSFUL]

Hi - I'm thinking of purchasing the 2 dlc - swarm and bug hunt and I would like to know if people still play it ?..is there a possibility to regularly play it online ? I mean tdm,infestation, pred hunt game modes?

90+% of the servers do not run the dlc maps. Furthermore I currently do not see any servers named to indicate that they host the dlc. As for regularly playing the dlc maps, no.

On top of all this there are roughly 12-40 people at any given time, 60 people on peak days such as the weekend but generally I believe it's fair to say the multiplayer is one step from dead. Multiplayer has been teetering on the brink of death for years with the dedicated server functionallity being it's only saving grace. There have been numerous reports of blatant hacking and exploits and no admins (or the admins are the ones doing the hacking); which has been a problem since day one but becoming more blatant over the years.

If you enjoy Survivor mode then the survivor mode dlc is from what I hear better level design however I do not recommend buying the dlc deathmatch modes.

If you want, you can add me to play these maps in multi. Greetings.

As confuted said: dlc maps are not played at all. They are very poorly designed too, imho. However, if you like survivor, both dlc maps for that mode are quite qood, or should i say definitely better than the stock maps. And you can play that alone.

Thanks for the answers :) It's exactly as I thought..but I wanted to be sure. I hoped that this few new maps could give some replayability and a new life to this quite good at times but also very flawed multiplayer :/ Such a shame because if those maps could have been in the game from the beginning..at least the variety of locations would be fine..Too bad that this AVP was such a failure and what's worse - it was NOT the gameplay part that failed imo so much....or the attmosphere..but the lack of content and support after release...It's really sad because I thought that this game will be the dream Avp game..for which I was waiting since 2001...

Yeah, my exact feelings before the release for this game. Trailers were very promising. My expectations was very high, I thoght it would be good at least like AVP2 but then a huge disappointment.
Unlike you it wasn't lack of content or support for me. There wasn't impressive or scary atmosphere like in AvP 1 and 2. There wasn't good story or story telling ( I know there wasn't descent story in AvP 1 too but it was too much damn scary! By the way, I've played AVP 1 when its first released back in 1999.)

I have not much hope for future Avp games either.

i play it

I have them since they came out.

But to be honest: I've actually played on those maps just a few times but not so often to really know them.
Would be interesting but I barely find games with players for those maps.

So I am fine with the regular ones. :)

To answer the question of the OPs post:
No, they're not worth it except you got a bunch of people who would like to play privately with you on those maps.

you can add me for play the dlc maps

i want to play the dlc, but you know......

[Raivohalvaus]

I made a group for that purpose sometime ago, but never really promoted it. If somebody wants to be a moderator and organise some dlc-matches just say so. Im not playing AvP that much anymore.

Same here... I've around 900 hrs since 2010 but like CSS I only play some matches occasionally.
