Yes it is definately worth getting for a few reasons including the price, great value for money when you compare to other games DLC.

Some of the maps are very good (KZ2 retro ones are probably the best out of all KZ3 maps), but the most important reason for buying them is you will have a much better chance of entering full rooms.

At the moment you are limited to rooms where the host also does not have the DLC, once you purchase the DLC you can then be put into rooms where the host either does or does not have the DLC.

When you consider that the majority of people still playing KZ3 have the DLC you will realise that you open up a much larger number of possible opponents.

^I agree.

 

OP, If you like KZ3 chances are you've got the map packs, so map packs can act as a bit of a noob filter where experienced players are more likely to be found in the DLC games and new players are yet to buy the DLC's.  I get lots of games with the DLC packs with pleanty of players in the game.  Add some friends so you can enter into games that are already started and running.

It's defo worth getting all the DLC, dont expect to playing DLC maps all the time  but it will certainly improve your chances.

Re: Map Packs

The Junkyard is ok sometimes and it's different to other GW maps coz it has exos and jet packs

 

Stahl Arms is a good map too, get played reasonably often.
