Confirmed on in game store. It's supposed to be out the 28th July.

[DelbertGrady]

kthxbye.

[captain-obvious]

lets hope its not easy to use C4'S on M-COMs this time

cus everyone is using C4's to destroy them after the last update which is so damn lame

[chak_]

more mocking from ea/dice, nice one

[jetlian]

new maps or just new modes on old maps. I'm sick of dice calling these new maps when they just modes

also how much is it

[jjohan35]

Old maps. We already have those old maps according to their names.

[TheUnspokenDream]

i say free for vip

[Senden]

When will dice learn these "new map packs" are just damaging their usually good rep. To release these as special content we should be happy to have is a joke at best.. it was bad enough with the vip content already being on the disc but to keep releasing these is annoying more people than it is exciting them.

[gypsygib]

I don't blame DICE I blame EA. This VIP stuff is bullshit, people that bought the game new should have gotten everything the day they bought its it's already on the disk.

[pustulio]

Fuck yeah i always wanted Rush in White Pass.

Even tho we really need new maps.

[Crazyglues]

I'm sick of this so called VIP maps that are really just stuff that should have been out day one.... but instead they held back the modes just so they could call it VIP stuff.... LAME DICE... seriously LAME..

Just make some new maps already, and while your at it add some customization to the weapons, a scope on the G3 - a red dot option, an option to add a silencer to any weapon - or carry two main weapons at the same time, as a special ops- Like a M16 and a G3... -Now that's some real Black Ops right there...

Come on' Dice step it up Jesus, you made an amazing game and now your are sucking hard on DLC, FYI - DLC does not mean unlock stuff that's already on the dam disk...

It means make new content that users can download and might want to pay for if you actually make good content.

[BeaArthur]

So you don't like free stuff? You would rather pay $15 for a map pack instead of getting reformatted maps at no charge? I understand where you are coming from but for me, I only play Rush and have been on the other maps only a handful of times. So for me, these maps are new and fresh.

[CoxMulder]

@BeaArthur
Free stuff?! This stuff was ready & on the disc since day one.. don't be a gullible fool.

I payed full price to have half the game drip-fed to me months after launch..?

Check the VIP-packs in the Store. You can redownload the VIP-packs. Re-download?! This stuffs already on the f'kin disc!!

"I only play Rush and have been on the other maps only a handful of times. So for me, these maps are new and fresh."

Are you fkn' serious??

"I only played the first half of the campaign, so to me the last half is new and fresh."

LOL the noobs on this site..

[Biggest]

Actually you just explained my experience in a nutshell. I made it to the guy getting shot in the head by the helicopter in the snow before my brain melted from boredom. I may have 2 single player trophies. So White Pass is brand spanking new to me. I also only play Rush. So anything past the original Rush maps are brand spanking new to me. I don't care about the definition of free in this instance. If I can turn the game on and see something new without paying any money, regardless if it was on the disk already, I am happy. When the expansion is released. . . I guess I will see how I feel that week. All I know is it better be a large download.

[CoxMulder]

So, what you're saying is that you don't mind the publisher deciding when you get to play the content you already paid for..?

Making the paying consumer pay for your war against used game sales is bad business, if only the generally naive gamer demographic was sensible enough to understand that..

edit:
Just wait till this trend starts affecting single-player campaigns, you'll see my point by then..

[tails13]

It's free.

So shut up the lot of ya.

[Garnett]

Its not free, i paid $60 so i can wait 6 months to play certain game modes on certain maps. Why did i buy it new again?

Ill remember to buy Used next time...

[karlowma]

Don't forget to pick up an EA Online Pass then.

[tails13]

Yeah, you better buy used next time so you can pay for these maps instead. Battlefield Bad Company 2 was $60. This particular map addition is free, you are not paying for it. You paid $60 for what you knew was included in Bad Company 2, these particular map iterations were not.

There is proper DLC on the way, I'm assuming with new guns and new maps. You will have to pay for it though.

Complaining about something you're being given for no additional charge is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. When did gamers become over entitled private school boys.

[jetlian]

above me are you retarded? it has nothing to do with being free. they keep calling them map packs when all it is new modes on maps we already have.

a lot of people play both modes so for us we've seen these maps for a long time. All I see is EA messing up project 10 dollar which is a good thing. I know if i paid 10-15 dollars to unlock this i would be pissed.

Same thing happening with mass effect 2. 15 bucks got you what zeed and a few weapons and the hammerhead missions

[BattleAxe]

@ tails13

Suck It!!

[gypsygib]

It was already on the disk! Imagine you bought say Red Dead and rockstar only allowed to play the first 50% of missions then released the rest of the game in 10% increments free to 'the VIPs' that bought new copies. That's what this is kind of like. They restrict access to the whole disk and think they're doing us a favor by slowly opening it up. F U EA

[jetlian]

totally the same. I wouldn't mind if they held back actual levels. I can understand trying to get people to play longer. Say it shipped with 6 and every month they added 2 till it was like 12-14 then had some you could buy is fine.

[xYLeinen]

Nice, a new rush map :D

Can't wait..

[ultramoot]

This is starting to get ridiculous. Not one single new map yet. I wonder if they're even planning to give us new maps at all. The answer is probably "No".

Thanks, Dice, for the same old maps with game modes that could already have been in the disc in the first place. We're really glad that this was what you meant by "free DLC" before the game release. /sarcasm

[SpaceFox]

Nope, there will be no new maps they said.

[ll_UNDERSCORE_ll]

Aside from the VIP rip-off shi8, I am actually surprised these game modes are coming out now/soon. I actually thought it would take 6months for them to decide to release it like the other ones.

[SpaceFox]

Yeah... I guess 5 months isnt that bad. /s

[GameViews]

As a VIP buyer I dont care about the maps.. just wanted to play the co-op stuff but noooooooooooo.... gotta buy that! Freakin EA.

[bjornbear]

new maps! good, however I keep getting sick of playing with retards =( every other squad i find myself in are all scouts =(

anyone here play for REAL? like with the actual objective of winning matches as opposed to exploring their own comforts by sitting on their asses at the end of a map and waiting there regardless of your situation of the game?!

if so plz add me, I dn have enough friends tht play adequately (got a few but too far between)

visualbear - PSN

[Senden]

I feel your pain.. the large majority of people I have played with on xbl are exactly the same pub hero morons. Sadly, PC is where you'll get the smart mature team players.

[ultramoot]

I play on PC. And while you see a bit of teamwork here and there, it's not exactly candyland here either. There's always a handful of morons thinking they're back inside MW2 and start playing accordingly.

[bjornbear]

I almost always quit now if I can forsee a lost team. I rather find a solid game. I hate quitters, but when you KNOW the team is in a downward spiral, ending up in 2nd base ambushed by defending team never finding a break since everyone gets scared and goes scout, there's no hope =/

its horrible.

and I STILL SEE PEOPLE FIRE WITH RIFLES AT ARMORED VEHICLES WTF!!!

seriously -_- there should be a basics multiplayer tutorial released, I'm no pro, but sometimes it can ruin a game when everyone just goes rogue lone wolf

[WitWolfy]

@BEaAthur

I take it your still probably a Rank 9 or 12 right? Cause what you said made absolutely no sense to me. We need new maps dammit. Ive been playing for more then 78hours on the same crapy maps, everybody. knows how to glitch them ,everybody knows where to camp. Its annoying!!!!!!!

HECK ILL EVEN PAY FOR THEM!!!!!

[corneliuscrust]

What happened to Map packs containing NEW CONTENT?

BFBC2 is my favourite shooter right now but damn these "map packs" aren't bringing anything new to the table

[BX81]

This absolutely F'n lame! You mean to tell me you held out game modes just to have DLC? WTF is wrong with this picture? The fans want new maps not more game modes on the same old maps. Next game lets hold out the option to raise/lower the sensetivity on your controller then release it as DLC.

[SuperbVillain]

yeah this whole taking maps and re deisgning them for different modes idea sucks.It forced me to leave BFBC2 2 months after i bought it.barely any maps,game got kind of boring for me,shame,it was very fun while it lasted.maybe they'll get it right next time

[bomboclaat_gamer]

this is not map pack
more like new modes on old maps...pack

[MikeTyson]

Sweet more free maps ftw

(I only play rush anyway)

[DoucheVader]

Who cares if they are not 100% new maps...

The fact of the matter is MOST people play Conquest OR Rush, so they will be new to you!

Peeps complain when you getting something for free. Gamers a bunch of nancy bitches.

[BabyTownFrolics]

the vietnam dlc has new maps and weapons and you'll be happy to know that you'll have to pay for it

feel better now?

[SpaceFox]

Not really. Ya see, that's an entirely different time period with its own set of weapons and vehicles, it may as well not even be the same game. We want new maps based on singleplayer locations where we can use the modern vehicles and weapons, or better yet a BC1 map pack.

[BabyTownFrolics]

nothing satisfies you

but I would like some BC1 maps in BC2

so we partially agree and thats nice

[BabyTownFrolics]

its a beautiful day for erasing an erroneous double post.
