I like the  night-time multiplayer map; you don't see those often.
 
Still have to decide whether to buy the PC or 360 version...

It's free if you buy the game new.  They want to discourage people from buying the game used. "
That's why I'm pissed off, they want to be the rulers of the market. Games are starting to cost 95 dollars on Europe.

That sucks but I don't see what that has to do with used games.  Game companies want to make money off their games.  They don't like it when their games get recycled through gamestop.

Ah, no Strike. 
 
Regardless, that Laguna Alta map looks like it'll be great fun!

That price means I can't afford to buy every single game 1rst hand. I understand they're a business and I would do the same if I were on their place, but it still doesn't mean it doesn't suck, that's all.

Are people really upset about this?
 
The game has to be sent to print a few months before release.
During that time they can create new maps so they can be ready as DLC.
It also gives extra content to people who support the developer/publisher.  (Or  "takes away" from people who buy used, some people see it like that, but thats not true.
 
Also, DICE said that all upcoming map additions will be free. (As in, existing maps converted for other game-modes.
 
There still might be traditional DLC such as brand new maps and gamemodes (capture the flag, anyone?).
 
 EDIT: Just read the article about these maps being on the disc... if that is true, then that is pretty dumb...

Considering EA's past in regards to how to deal with piracy and content, this is a welcomed idea.

There's no decision making involved. PC version.

Unfortunately the beta is full of cheaters using a widely spread cheat package that will most definitely be made available to full version. That's the only reason I'm getting 360 version. Sad but true.

I played in the for approxamatly a month up until yesterday when it ended and I NEVER, EVER found a cheater. Not one single person that I encountered displayed ANY signs of cheating. No Aimbots, nothing. I don't know what beta you were playing.

I like this idea. Day 1 DLC has my seal of approval. Everyone's happy.
 
Also, lol@the PC hackers. That's the good thing about dedicated community servers. Banned, and done.

is it just me or do the maps all look alike,  It's like there took some small parts and keep reusing them to make bigger maps.

Haha when I saw the name Laguna Alta, I thought of the Laguna Seca Raceway for some reason.
