User blog:Bovell/Pre-order bonus map, Nuketown 2025, pulled from playlists, then returned.

David Vonderhaar, Game Design Director for Treyarch, has been hard at work with damage control.

Nuketown 2025, the bonus map for those who pre-ordered Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops II, was pulled from multiplayer matchmaking on Monday night with the removal of the Nuketown 2025 - 24/7 playlist. The move caught many gamers by surprise, and the plot thickened when Vonderhaar offered this explanation on Twitter: "Double XP weekend is official [sic] over. That means Nuketown 2025 / 24-7 is as well. I know. RIGHT? Don't kill the messenger. +
 * "Nuketown 2025 / 24-7 will be back for special events. You can always play it with your friends in Custom Games."

Yet the Internet brigade was not satisfied, and took to their pitchforks. Overwhelmed by an angry, virtual mob, Vonderhaar was forced to respond, and tweeted this curious message:

"You killed the messenger, but I still fight for the users. RT to #bringbackNuketown2025 and we will add to a small maps moshpit."

- @DavidVonderhaar

And so by the dozens, the agitated players that wanted nothing more than their promised pre-order bonus voiced their support for the infamous Nuketown 2025, which will return in the Chaos Moshpit playlist (along with Carrier, Cargo, Express, Hijacked, Slums, Standoff)

Vonderhaar, however, did not indicate whether this new playlist is a permanent replacement.
