If its a free DLC why not just make it an update like GTA does? Everyone gets access to a free dlc that way.

because not all the people can run those thing.
just think about. a lot of people have bad computers, if they DONT want those thing or even cant use those thing, why to make it an update?
The issue is if two people are on a server, one who can run the dlc content and the other doesn’t have it installed, creates a lot of issues. Think of it like a Gmod server and the error signs and missing textures.

also the content just being there doesn’t cause performance issues unless it’s actually being loaded
and if it’s being loaded you NEED IT INSTALLED

You know if you can’t run big games, you seriously need an upgrade to keep up with the evolving gaming industry. Or else you will be stuck with old or small games
Also as said above, the way you want to see doesn’t work like that. Also in terms of marketing you’re creating a bad image of the game. People will bring up points the same way they rant against games with DLCs containing content like that

Map DLCs can be annoying when you want to play with your friends but not everyone has the same maps. One thing I might consider is a pass to grant access into official dedicated servers for a new map, and if you lobby up with your friends you can all get into the official server together. Thoughts?

I think that instead of using Passes, you could use the Gold DLC.
This will add to the benefits of the existing DLC, and keep the features of non-Gold and Gold players simple.
Rather than what Gold/Non-Gold, Pass/No-Pass, and in-betweens can do.

I like the Rainbow Six: Siege path you’re thinking of (or ar least what I assume you’re thinking) where Gold members get early access to new maps (and by proxy new vehicles, items, and other things) for a set duration of time and use that as a beta test period before the update goes live for all players.

Paid early map access sounds great, and I have to agree that gold could be used as a pass.
If not, good either way

Why do we need these to be DLC when Nelson has previously made these for free? I get that Nelson needs money, but adding things like this would just fragment the community. I don’t get why a consumer would suggest that Nelson adds anti-consumer things in his game. What would be the point of this other than Nelson making money? I think Nelson already makes enough money, I mean he went on vacation, bought a new apartment and is paying for College for his girlfriend. Don’t get me wrong, he definitely deserves all the money he gets from the game, but what would be the point of adding these DLCs?

DLC is a dumb idea. Just put it in the game normally.

Just because a lot of the playerbase is young and has shit computers doesn’t mean Nelson should develop the game based on that. If you don’t want Nelson to add more maps because you can’t run the game, get a better computer and stop trying to argue that the game should revolve around those who can’t even run it properly.

Plus, it’s a free game, so it’s even more ungrateful to argue when you can do a lot more to get better performance than a dev ever will.
I don’t yell at Bohemia Interactive when I can’t hit 60 FPS while running one of the most hardware-intensive games ever made, do I?

Seconded.
I have the epitome of a potato and I’ve played Unturned for 3-4 years at a mere 20 FPS average. You don’t see me complaining.

This post is ONE reply away from devolving into a flamewar.
thats why you will need these dlc to run these servers. and thats why they will be free.
my pc has an intel i7 440k. 8 gb of ram. a GTX 1050 and 1 TB of free space. i can run all of the maps without any problem.
Look, just stop.
To sum up literally everyone arguing against you (myself included), you’re trying to fix a problem that doesn’t exist. Those of us with severely underpowered computers don’t “need” some extra DLC to run something that should already be in the normal game, even if the DLC is free. You’re just overcomplicating what doesn’t need to be so. Having DLC for such trivial things pretty much entirely destroys the point of a game with the novelty and humility of Unturned.

I think the idea of map DLC and gun DLC are bad, you’ll, need like Nelson said, the DLCs when you play with friends.
Just one thing: I would just make MAYBE, maybe a kind of super advanced editor DLC with all kinds of stuff, but I don’t think we would nessesary need one
well that idea was… mehhhhhhh
not that good why would nelson make paid maps or items if we have mods anyway.
