No shit. when i watch Battlefield:Bad company 2 videos i want to jump to the BC2 and start a fucking massacre.
Everything is done right. Everything. Explosions, destruction, Dolby Digital Sound, Vehicles.
and the most important that the map pack is free how it should be always. Now, lets see what DICE is doing with Battlefield 3. Thats going to be just mindblowing.

“Map pack”? What “Map pack”? This the laziest DLC i’ve ever seen. Whilst most games offer up every mode for their already released maps DICE are slowly adding them to make it seem as if their VIP code system has some worth.
Activision = Over charging for their content.
EA = Downright con men.

1: actualy its still not right.
Battlebield Fat Company anyone?
3:
i disagree.
the game itself is ok. nothing special. not realy addictive. played 100 hourse and im done with it. played other fps mps for 4 years and 150 days “/played”.
add to that the ridicoulusly massive amou nt of bugs and its a let down for me tbh.
the game crashed in teh 100 hours more often then the other example mentioned above in 150 days.. ON A CONSOLE!! i cant even think of why this is. crash to menu or complete freeze happens at least once a day.
OK, sounds harsh, the game is ok. LEt downer is maybe to hard of a judgement.
Seeign the massive am,ount of other crap out there its actualy one of the better games. Tech aside its worth it.
@ news:
How dare u to call this a map pack.
Be honest, this is nothing more then a switch turned on serverside.

this is in no way a map pack. its just some excisting game modes now available on allreyady excisting maps..
500mb patch last month says “Im Still a fucking bug-paradise”

500mb is content, not code.
These ones, yeah, they’re just flip switches, but aside from the first map pack converting from conquest to rush is basically making the map 4 times bigger. Rush maps are massive and you really can’t just flip a switch.

Alright so if they call each map with a new gamemode on it a new map, then modern warfare 2 has hundreds of maps.

@11 Who cares how many MB they use when they aren’t substantially adding to the game?
It has nothing to do with new content, just optimizing and cutting the old content into different size slices for more modes.
Level design wasn’t exactly their strong suit to begin with. I think there’s a lot of room for improvement with some new maps.
