TO CLARIFY
IT IS FREE DLC FOR PEOPLE WHO BUY THE GAME

PC GAMERS GET IT FREE AS A PATCH

Its so people who get a preowned copy ,rent or borrow the game have to pay.
DICE get money from preowned games, and it limits piracy.
I welcome it TBH. Dice could have more money from me just because they have dedi servers on the PC

" seriously. Day one DLC. Why don't you wait a little longer to split your user base. "

I hate it when they split the user base. However, I'm getting the PC version (already have it preordered) so it doesn't really affect me. Pirates won't be able to play on the official servers and there is practically no used-game market except for Ebay.

You do know EA bought Bio-ware a long time ago right? Bio-ware is just a studio in the EA company; EA isn't copying them, they are doing what EA tells them to do because they own them.

They are going the same route as Bioware with free DLC for people who buy the game new. I completely support this strategy.

@ForestWarrier: it's free... so... split between people who are: 1. Not too lazy and 2. Are too lazy to download the maps?

@Meatsim: i guess these maps weren't finished before the discs had to go to press, and then we get them for free on day 1, not a problem for anyone who's going to be playing online anyways!

edit: wow, you guys type fast... 2 responses in the time it took me to type... :(

Depends - if it's free then it wouldn't do that at all. Might just have been maps that they couldn't polish up in time to put on the disc

Either that or its EA's code in the box to ward off second hand resales strategy...

@Meatsim:@ForestWarrier: It's how EA has decided to combat people buying used copies. It's not like they are asking you to buy this DLC, it's free for everyone who buys the game. If it was paid i would be right along with you guys.
