The vast majority of the High Ranking players pick the cheap Electrobolt/Elephant
Gun loadout, which requires zero skill to use. Any loadouts that are effective against countering these players are considered "
noob" and bawwww/ragequit about them only for them to use it themselves.
Instead of allowing the
player to host a server on the
PC version and pick whatever they want, the developers, much
like most of the ones in the past 2 years (see
Modern Warfare 2), got dropped on the head and decided to use a match maker, which typically puts the
player in matches that are almost over or with scores such as 490-10 and placing the
player on the losing team or in matches with the host lagging and disconnecting everyone.
A Map Pack the Rapture Metro was released in May 11 2010 for Multiplayer. In it contains 6 new maps for user's enjoyment. Unlike the Tester Pack or the Character Map Pack, which were already included in the original
game files (you still had to pay money just to use them), not everyone has the DLC. As a result they never show up on the match maker. 2K officials have promised a future patch giving a DLC
map loadout but no patch was ever developed. In addition, the last DLC "Minerva's Den" was not released on the PC.
The overall lack of polish in Bioshock 2's multiplayer mode may have contributed to an annoucement that Bioshock Infinite may not have multiplayer shipped with it upon it's release.
Player
1: "Well Bioshock 2's Multiplayer was one of the biggest disappointments of my life. I spent $10 on the DLC map
pack and I learned I can't even
play it 99% of the time."
Player 2: "Stfu go play it on a private match"
