By the rate they unlock different modes for maps we already have we won't have the full game by the end of this year. Not to mention no self respecting BF fan plays TDM or SR. For me this is useless "new" content.
Edit: Btw, why is this even declared as DLC? Of all I'd like the gaming press to at least realise that this is BY DEFINITION NOT DLC!
I understand their VIP system as BC2 (hopefully) promises long-term server support at EA/DICE's expense—and I pray they never go to a subscription model—but locking out levels and modes that already exists on the disc is lame as f#¢k. (Even though for me, at this point, if I didn't have a VIP code I don't think it would have even affected me, as I never play any of the DLC map/modes except Laguna Presa rush.)
The VIP code should just unlock 80% of the maps with 20% working w/o it. Or I would rather see them roll out more game modes like the on-line co-op mode (Onslaught, right?).

In am happy with the VIP-system, because I do NEVER buy used games. So it's fine.
I would have stuck w/ Bad Company 2 a lot longer if it wasn't for such a small amount of maps to play Rush on.
What sucks is that MW2 is making some really great new MP maps but the price is such a disgrace that I can't in good will pay for such BS. Feels like no matter what modern military shooter I'm playing these days I get the shaft lol.
where are all the great maps like deadly pass , backstab and bridge too far ?
even the conquest mode doesnt even feel like conquest , its too linear.
does any one really care about "rush".
rush mode = there are 2 flags that you got to get or defend so defenders just camp and wait, while the offense try to get them . everyone knows where everyone is , AT THE 2 FLAGS!!!!
VERY VERY BOORING GAME .
the conquest mode = there are 3 flags in close proximity most of the time in a linear line (ala rush mode).
cod:mw2 atleast release the classic maps that made modern warfare 1 a classic e.g. crash .
another r.i.p. franshise:
splintercell= r.i.p.
battlefield = r.i.p.
final fantasy=r.i.p
whos next ???
this gen is really sucking , no quality games anymore
I have more of a problem when I pay 60 quid up front for a crippled game. Then have to wait almost a year until I get what I bought. The majority of players won't be playing anymore. By that time other great MP games are released (Reach first, CoD:whatever next and then Gears 3). I don't have enough time to play the content I ALREADY BOUGH MONTHS AGO.
One of these models leaves you with a choice, the other doesn't. I hope EA chokes on its ideas.
I still think it's a fantastic game, but it's dying and it needs more than game mode tweaks to existing layouts to keep it fresh. But, with all of that said, the game is still very fun. I just returned to it recently and it's just as good as when I left it.
PC version needs a new patch asap too. Oh, and the 1911 nerf is still very discouraging. If E3 sees a real BF3 reveal, all is forgiven.
And it's squad rush and dm too... because that's what people play. :/
Crysis 2
Medal of Honor
That crappy looking Epic game
FPS's from Insomniac and Respawn Entertainment
I think they will reveal BF3 next year
And people are complaining for one reason and one reason only: Because this content isn't even new, and EA is trying to spin this like they're giving us tons and tons of "free support." A squad DM layout for Nelson Bay isn't new content... and it's probably already on the disc anyway.
Ever since the PC version of this game got patched the 360 version is riddled with lag issues, it sucks. I heard a lot of people aren't even playing it anymore because of those issues. EA released some other games taking up their bandwidth priority?
