This whole “free add-ons for those who buy our videogames new” thing isn’t going away, it would seem. As hinted at previously by DICE, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be getting two downloadable maps on launch. So long as you have one of the codes included with new copies of the game, it’ll be free.
Otherwise, you better cough up some cash, son ($15). Since it’s clear this is only the beginning of the freebies, it might be wise to, I don’t know, just buy Bad Company 2 at full price. Included with this morsel of news was a video of the DLC; watch it!
As far as the maps go, Nelson Bay look decent. The other day-one map, Laguna Alta, is where it’s at, though. While that’s mostly my total love for ATVs in a first-person shooter speaking, the locale being something other than a dark, snowy place is quite nice too.
