This whole “VIP Map Pack” thing is a bit of a sham, really. I mean, memo to EA: We kinda noticed you’re just unlocking additional modes on, you know, the same maps. In the vernacular, we call that a “playlist update”, not a map pack. But it’s free to anyone who purchased the game new, of course, and hey, free stuff is cool stuff. Or something like that.

So the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 VIP Map Pack is dropping 9 June (tomorrow). That’s basically Squad Deathmatch on Nelson Bay, and Squad Rush on Laguna Alta. Does anyone actually play Squad Deathmatch or Squad Rush? Maybe that’s the point.

More importantly, however, when is that premium it’s-not-Horde-it’s-Onslaught add-on getting here? EA’s still not given any release date on that, the merciless tease. Until then, I guess we’re playing Squad Deathmatch on Nelson Bay and Squad Rush on Laguna Alta. Or not. Seriously, is anyone actually excited about this? I’m more of a Rush on Arica Harbour girl myself.
