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.
