Have no problem with the troll comment either. Just hope I don′t turn into stone, seeing that sunlight hits me right now. (ref: JRRT′s The Hobbit)

I post the same thing over and over because we are getting shafted over and over by Crytek.

They don't

(A) Communicate

(B) Answer any questions put to them

(C) Give us any inclination what (if anything) they are working on

It's shocking customer service, if you are happy to take it then so be it, good for you.

I'm not going to lap it up like you do, so I will keep complaining until we get some answers that we deserve to hear and some sort of support off Crytek.

I don't really think it's a negative that the maps are based on some of the SP locations.
Its negative and Bad. Why then 800points? This pack could be free.... I can take all SP Maps, put some barriers in and release it. Thats work for about an half hour.... Srsly.
Except, these aren't ripped straight out of single player. They are vastly changed from the parts they were based on. Not to mention, even if that were possible: 1) It wouldn't be on Xbox, and 2) Everybody else online would have to download your edited map to even be able to play with you.

I already mentioned they aren't direct rips.

eightbit,
so the maps are either mixed in to the original map rotation or you can play them separatley?
Yes. If you go into private match, you can see the rotation by flipping through the maps. For Team IA, like I said, it's Skyline/Terminal, then the four DLC maps after that. Regular IA, though, it appears they're at the end. Glad they have DLC playlists, too.

If Reach didn't have those, I'd never play their map packs, as they never come up in regular matchmaking for some reason. Annoying.

I went on Crysis 2 last night and it still lagged absolutely terribly.

I won't be buying the DLC as Crytek still haven't patched the game and still haven't given us proper Network Coding.

I've been playing playing for the last hour and half, 95% of my games were green bars and over 90% had green bars mixed with yellows. Everything seems fine to me.

So I went ahead and just bought the DLC. Well, last night I did. I played for a while and it was quite good. Not as many problems getting into games as usual, lots of people around. I do really like the Retaliation Onslaught Playlist, since it combines CTR, CS and Xtrac and people can just vote for the Map and play type (I just wish not everybody would always want to play Crash Site...). I was playing with people from around Europe, which, being in Germany, meant mostly good connections.

I took a break, went on a little later, and got into several games with mostly Americans, and the connections suffered accordingly. It was by no means terrible, but in a shootout my enemies just had that half second more to make a deadly difference.
It was terrible, however, in the one game I was the host. My movement was sluggish and unresponsive, I had about a quarter second delay between pressing buttons and the actions on screen, and enemies moved in jumps like under strobe lighting. It was the worst lag I ever had in any game of C2, and it only happened this once. Tell the truth I was really surprised to even get into a game with non-Europeans, and getting no worse than two-yellow-bars connections, but apparently being the host for my overseas-gamemates presented the game with more problems than it could deal with.

As for the maps, they're actually pretty good. And huge. The only map that even comes close to that size was Liberty Island (that's Statue and Evac Zone combined), but you could only play that in CS, CTR and Xtrac. The level design is great, although I wish they would do something about the glare on the Compound Map... it starts to hurt my eyes after a while.

Anyway, I'm still hoping for a patch to improve the connections, but I'm still having fun as it is and don't regret the buy at all.
