Black Ops 2 - Nuketown DLC Controversy

SO Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 was released on the 13th of November, 2012 with the promise of the Nuketown DLC map with every launch copy of the game. For many gamers, this was the prime reason for pre-ordering copies (particularly the Hardened versions).

Of course many gamers were happy with their Nuketown DLC from the start, with the map being available on 24/7 rotation with different objective game modes. All was well and happy in Nuketown, Nevada until 6 days after release where the map and lobbies were REMOVED from rotation.

I give you, this image:


Well of course the very vocal COD community shot the messenger and tea-bagged his body until the situation was fixed... kind of. 

The replacement has been a 'bonus' lobby (which still pulls a huge amount of the user base, anywhere from 20,000 - 50,000) with multiple small, chaotic maps with varying objective game modes. Maps include 'slums', 'carrier' and well.. the maps are so unmemorable that I can't actually name the others despite 30 hours of game play up until this point.
