Dice to release free Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Maps
With the onset of new titles like Call of Duty: Black OPs, Dice, the developers of the Battlefield franchise, is obviously looking for ways to keep people around and playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The upcoming DLC for BFBC2, Vietnam, is what they're generally using to keep us here, but Dice, being such a lovely bunch, decided to not leave us poor users in the dust. 'VIP Map Pack 7' promises us 4 multiplayer maps for free. Two maps from the first Bad Company, Oasis and Harvest Day, will be getting ported from the first game and updated with better graphics. Two completely new maps, Cold War and Heavy Metal, will be the other two added. The release date has yet to be announced, but people are guessing it will come out soon. Personally, I'm guessing slightly after the Vietnam DLC comes out, which is tentatively set for a release during "Winter 2010", just so you have a chance to buy the DLC before they give you the free maps.
It'd be great if it came out before, but common sense in business strategies says you can get a person to pay for 'water' after they've been craving it a long time, instead of them deciding to wait longer for it to be free. But, as Valve's Steam software has shown us, people will wait an awful long time for sales, so who can say for certain?
