I looked for an answer to my question, but didn't find one. My apologies if this has been asked...

My son and I share an Xbox - but we each have our own account. He downloaded the new map pack for Black Ops today. I don't want to play on the new maps though. Is there any way I can opt out of the new map pack on my account? Right now, I'm being forced to play on them and outside of jumping out of matches, I don't have any choice. Suggestions?

Can you just delete them from your hard drive before you boot up BLOPS?

madcougar

I probably could, but then my kid couldn't play it. Therein lies the rub. Thanks for the reply though.

this isn't an Xbox questions, it's a Black Ops question. I'd ask in that thread since I don't own Black Ops. But in previous COD games, you chose which mode you want to play on. There has to be one where people who don't have the map packs can play.

Couldn't you just opt out of a MP game that has a new map coming up? Since I've d/l the new maps I'd say it's still about 50/50 to get an old map.

Move the content to a USB stick and remove it when you're logged in.

What's the big deal with playing on the new maps?

orangecrush

This is a much better suggestion than mine.

madcougar

It really is. You disappoint me 'Crush.

I'll give it a try. I hope it doesn't slow things down too much for my son. He loves his killin' as much as his daddy.

Knowing you're being actively ignored is no fun.
