Yo, this game Killzone 3 came out recently and I'm playing some sweet multiplayer.  It has this awesome mode called Warzone: Salamun Market which is pretty awesome!  But today I made a discovery!  Salamun Market isn't a game mode at all!  It's just one map!  There are seven others!  Maybe we can try those, too!
 
Seriously, people, play something other than Salamun Market.  I've rarely been able to get into a full game on any other map.

that sucks

Man this is one of the worst things about multiplayer games, when people fall in love with a map and play it constantly

" Man this is one of the wort things about multiplayer games, when people fall in love with a map and play it constantly "

" What kind of stuff do they sell at the Salamun market?  "

I fucking LOVED Radec Academy!  It was unfairly weighted in the ISA's favour, but still a ton of fun.  I hope they add it for DLC fof KZ3 soon.

You're just going to have to delete your game-data like most people until GG patches in a fix for the "infinite loop". I used to think nobody played this game because it wouldn't put me in anything other than a 3 person game of Salamun Market. But once you delete the DLC, you'll find whatever you're looking for.
 
I know, I know, you shouldn't have to delete your game data. None of us should, but from the looks of it, GG doesn't have a patch in the works for at least another few weeks(At least until the patch comes out next week), and this is the only fix for it.
 
Certainly sucks, because I'd love to play Salamun Market, but once it's installed, that's all I play.

" @N7:  You know you can manually select other maps, right?  The only problems are that they're never all that populated, once you map-select maps don't cycle anymore, and selecting the "Any" map option always puts you in Salamun Market. "

Hopefully enough people will complain that will get to fixing this shit. Despite the stupid problems that should have been avoided at first, I'm still enjoying the multiplayer quite a lot. Personally I just want them to add more fucking operations missions/maps.

But it's the best map.........

As there is but only de_dust 2, so too is there only Salamun Market. So sayeth our Lord.

I don't have that problem at all. It's the infiltrators and explosive spammers that will get you.

Nuketown.

" @Spoonman671: Its because its a DLC map. You need to manually choose a different map and then you will be able to vote for any map you want in the playlist... but if you get into a match of Salamun Market then it will just keep playing that continually - its NOT because people are choosing that map - all the other maps have full matches too. "

" @Spoonman671:  I got this issue too. It's literally impossible for me to get into a warzone game that's not salamun market unless i join a friends game who doesn't have the map pack. Same with blood gratch for TDM. I think they actually might've just fucked up with the matchmaking somehow, cuz when i search for games on a specific map that's not that map i'm getting into like 3 people lobbies. "

I don't think that's actually what's going on.  I doubt the game is selecting Salamun Market over other maps simply because it is DLC.  I think it is much more likely that players are purposefully choosing Salamun Market, and then being locked into it because it is DLC and has it's own playlist so as not to conflict with players that don't have it, thereby perpetuating the increasing number of lobbies for that particular map.  At least that's what makes sense to me.  I could, of course, be completely wrong. "

Come to think of it, I've only played on Salamun Market once.

I'm telling you guys, just delete your Game Data Utility and you'll notice a huge difference. And if you don't, well, it takes about five minutes to redownload/install, so not a huge loss anyway. But you will notice a difference. I guarantee it. "

That's because it deletes the maps... "

Yeah Salamun Market isn't good enough to lose the option to rotate maps. I deleted that shit, but really I never should have needed to in the first place.

SEE you on Blood Crotch!!!

I usually play with a friend who doesn’t have the retro maps, and we always get into full games on all the different maps. But as soon as he leaves the squad I`m stuck with Salamun market and 4 other people. Over and over again, no matter how many times I try. If he comes back and rejoins the squad, we`re back to normal.

I don't understand why devs have map voting in games. Just pick one for us and we'll play it.

It's a stupid bug. Doesn't only happen in Salamun Market though. Once I played Turbine whatever 3 times in a roll since it wouldn't let us vote on a new map...

Try telling the millions that play counter-strike that there are other maps than de_dust2 and cs_assault. This happens in every game which is probably why map counts in games are shrinking.
