How DLC Servers will work.

Post » Sat Jun 01, 2013 3:33 pm

This is taken from the Dedicated Server Documentation.


"Using any of the DLC levels or game modes in a LevelRotation.xml will result in the server being marked as requiring DLC content to join. Players will be prevented from joining if they do not match the requirements regardless of which map/mode is currently being played. This means that if the server level rotation features a game on Coastline players without the DLC will be unable to join it even if the server is currently in a game of Deathmatch on Airport."


What I wonder is by having the DLC, can I use the CLAW or RHINO on a non-DLC server?

A foolish attempt seeing as it's more likely that server owners will end up not placing DLC maps into rotation in order to attract more players... unless the DLC ends up being so amazing everyone buys it
