Dr. Pepper Kit-upgrades
DICE released some information on their official blog concerning the Dr. Pepper DLC, which was originally planned for a March 9th according to the VIP store, but is now releasing on Wednesday, March 21st for Xbox 360 users. No date for the PS3, but Sony is in the process of certifying it.
The DLC pack will contain new in-game awards and 4 achievements. Here are some pictures of the re-skinned gear.

Gamers in the North America will have to use their Dr. Pepper codes to obtain the items, and people outside of the area can purchase the kits for 160ms points per-kit, or 440ms points for the bundle. Here are some pictures of the weapons that are the same for all sides.
Map Pack 3 Details
As of April 20th that has been no word on this from the Official Battlefield Blog, but the in-game store has been updated with information on this upcoming map-pack.
This future map-pack will be free to all who have entered a VIP code. From the in-game store:
No release date is given for this map-pack.Map Pack 3 contains Laguna Alta (Squad Rush mode) and Nelson Bay (Squad Death Match mode)!
How does this sit with people? For me, I rarely play squad deathmatch, and while I enjoy squad rush, the scale of the maps pale in comparison to the previous two map packs. I have made topics asking which rush and conquest maps people would want to see, I never saw anyone post saying they would rather have a squad rush or squad deathmatch map over a full conquest or rush map.
While this map-pack may not be a lot to look forward to, there are two untitled and unannounced items in the store cleared for VIP access. Most likely these are upcoming map packs, but the contents and release dates of them is unknown. Other game-modes have also been briefly discussed by DICE.
