Players report problems with Rapture Metro Pack

2K Games recently released second set of downloadable content, the “Rapture Metro Pack.” This content fleshes out the multiplayer mode of BioShock 2. It contains 6 new maps and also a new achievements/trophies.

While finding out inputs to write review, I discovered that it seems there’s a catch to the Metro.

Let’s hear what 2K Games said. It said that if a fan wants to play this map in a public match, then a lobby full of players is required who have also purchased the content.

In the group if anyone does not have the new map content then the game will automatically put the gamer into a game using previously released and nothing from the new one.

In an official statement the Community Manager of 2K said, “We couldn’t assume that all users would purchase the maps, so we made a design decision to unify the user base in order to provide the best gameplay experience possible. The DLC maps will cycle into the rotation if everyone in the room owns them, otherwise the game will load the base maps. If users want a more direct control over their experience they can create private matches which they can set to play just the DLC maps.”

Write here if you have purchased the new content and are facing similar problems.

Earlier 2K Games also released two separate multiplayer expansions for BioShock 2. The first expansion was ‘Kill’em Kindly’ and it had players fighting to the death and that too only with golf clubs. For Xbox 360 and PS3 it is a free download.

The second expansion was the ‘Character Pack’ and it adds two new characters to the multiplayer mode. For 160 Microsoft Points (AU$2.60) it is available on the Xbox 360 and for PS3 it costs AU$3.45.
