I noticed this game has one of those online passes if you buy the game new. I was wondering for those who either rent the game or buy it used if you buy the DLC which has multiplayer in it if you are able to actually play the DLC without buying the online pass.

The game does have a 3 day trial for the MP, but the DLC still requires the same pass the base game does.

Thats total BS. I cant stand how games are all moving to this stupid online pass to make you buy the game new or pay extra money to play especially when you buy additional content which is strictly multiplayer.

You can earn the DLC achievements with the trial pass, and if you get a couple of decent sessions in its easy to unlock all the multiplayer achievements within the trial duration.

I unlocked all of the non-DLC achievements as well as those from the first DLC pack within the double XP weekend when the DLC was first released and the only thong I boosted was winning each game type.

As you only need to reach level 20 you can probably do it in a weekend even without boosting, boosting will just speed the process up.

Yeah if you plan it correctly you could get it done in the trial.
