The other thread seems to be dealing pretty much with achievements / campaign discussion, so I thought I'd start one for multiplayer discussion.

Are people still playing this as their main multiplayer game? If so, what game modes do you play the most?

I have found myself playing only Team Swat. Unfortunately, I'm getting very few commendations since I've already gone up to Silver on the ones that relate to this game mode, so my rank is still just Captain despite the fact that I've played it a bit (I do try to complete the daily challenges that relate to multiplayer play). It's also occurred to me that if I'm playing Swat only, perhaps modern warfare would be a better fit for me... but I don't want to learn a new game.

Thoughts on how to increase rank quickly without having to resort to tons of firefight (perhaps if I just finish the campgain once?) would also be welcome

Finally... what do people think of the new map pack? And is there a way to play only these levels? I downloaded it yesterday, but only got one game with it, the others were all the standard maps.

I've been splitting my time between Reach and Black Ops. I tend to play BlOps alone though, and nothing beats heading into Invasion with a six-man party for some organised curbstomping.

IMO, SWAT is ok now that it's got its own playlist, but Slayer Pro needs to die. It's so incredibly dull. If anything, it needs to go in the SWAT playlist.

If I'm playing Reach, then I'm playing Firefight or Campaign.

They're both far, far, far more fun than listening to trash talking midgets

For the DLC they've included a DLC only playlist, this features only the DLC maps (surprise surprise!) but with a large variety of gametypes.
