It's up to you. They're not going to run out of licenses and the base price won't be changing ... at least not until most of us have moved on to the next big game.

Some may buy Call of Duty just for Campaign or Zombies [1 to 4 players]. But most come back to it for its multiplayer experience. So you should always be aware of the playerbase if interested in multiplayer.

There's no reason to pre-order Season Pass aside from maybe some microDLC outfit. Many who did with Advanced Warfare regretted it [including myself, who started the TM8 groups as a result]. Season Pass will always cost slightly less than buying the DLC individually.

When it comes to DLC, always go "all or nothing".

The game will be quickly be unplayable for those who install some, but not all DLC. They will always be forced to uninstall it (or buy the next DLC) to find others!

The game's hidden DLC divisions wouldn't be so bad if the PC Community represented more than just 3% of the Call of Duty market. We have far fewer players and the DLC marketing system is designed around consoles. Each new DLC will divide our 3% playerbase into smaller and smaller slices while the console community barely notices this.

Understand, dividing these communities by DLC is a very intentional marketing practice. It forces those without maps to buy them just to stay connected with friends. To counter this, it's best we accept that half of our small community will never buy any DLC while the other half will have all (Season Pass). Those with it can always join those without so the base maps and modes will generally be the most played.

Whether the game proves to be as strong as Black Ops 2 or dies quickly like Advanced Warfare, well organized groups can help us all find the games we're looking for. Because of these, we still play many hours of Ground War, Grapple, and on the latest maps every week.

The key is to PLAN GAMES and KEEP CHAT ROOMS OPEN to gather whenever we want to play.
