    I originally reported on the map pack 3 details on April 20th. Now, after over a month of the two items being listed in the in game store, an official post and trailer have finally gone up, with a release date of June 9th
     
    The VIP map pack 3 will have Nelson Bay Squad Deathmatch and Laguna Alta Squad Rush. Check out the trailer below: (Note the optics on the M14 at 0:55 and 1:05.)
     
          
      
    These two "enhanced" maps will be available to 360 and PS3 owners who have the VIP code on June 9th. The PC version of BC2 will be updated with the new maps shortly after.  
     
    Update, June 8th: The M14/G3 optics will not be included in a future update, according to Bazajaytee. He says that the video teams have a special version of the game that enables them to equip optics on any gun. 
     
    Why? Why would they have a special version of the game? We all know that BC2 originally planed to have optics on those weapons, but it was later taken out. Optics in the VIP trailers have been a recurring thing. Do you believe that the VIP trailers were created before   the release of the game? Let me know.

    M14 with ACOG would be sick. Hope they add it to the game. 
     
    Too bad the new maps are just for squad modes. Actually played a bit of Squad Deathmatch recently. Good fun. 
     
    Off to go chopper whoring on Atacama. Cya guys.

    Update June 9th 
     
    The map pack is now live! 
    The optional update for the Xbox 360 is up as well. You can download the update when you open the multiplayer menu. You then must restart BC2 for the update to take affect.

    Jayross:  Please let us know how the patch works for you.  The PS3 one and apparently a follow-up have been causing more trouble unfortunately.

    I can confirm that there does seem to be a bit more lag than normal.  
     
    But it is not terrible. 
     
    I will be playing again on peak east coast hours (so like 7pm Eastern) and I will report back again. 
     
    Right now, lag is 2.5/5
