Well if you Bad Company folk were wanting maps and were jealous of the Modern Warfare 2 “Stimulus Map Pack”, then EA is giving you want you want…or are they. hmmm lets see as we compare them head to head.
Well even with the Ex-Infinity Ward heads suing the pants off of Activision for breach of contract (read all about it here with juicy court documents), they somehow got this map pack out. It might be a while until the next one, but for this one you can shell out 1200 microsoft points. (or $15 for the rest of us). So 2 of them are old maps so you really are getting 3 brand new maps. right???
the five maps make up the pack, including two oldies from Call of Duty 4. They are:
- Bailout – An “overrun apartment complex”
- Storm – An industrial park “in the middle of a rainy downpour, tense thunderstorm”
- Salvage – An abandoned junkyard”, with a “snowy terrain”
- Crash – Urban map with a downed heli, one of the classics from COD4
- Overgrown – It’s “wide open, great for snipers”, the other map from COD4
EA-Dice is competing by releasing the VIP Map Pack 2 for BC2. This DLC is for VIP members only. Yup, just like EA’s other insider gamer’s club for Mass Effect 2, the Cerberus Network, VIP membership is free for those who bought the game new. Meanwhile, those with used copies on 360 or PlayStation 3 will have to fork over $15 (1200 on Xbox) the membership. PC players simply get this the pack as an update.
I should tell you though the VIP map pack 2 doesn’t actually have ANY new maps. What it really does is, it unlocks the Conquest Mode in Arica Harbor and Rush Mode in Laguna Presa. So I guess you could call it new content forfree, so it’s hard to complain. Unless you aren’t a VIP, of course.
Both DLC packs descend upon us stoners to a Dave Matthews Concert, later today, March 30th.
