I mean, memo to EA: We kinda noticed you&rsquo;re just unlocking additional modes on, you know, the same maps. In the vernacular, we call that a &ldquo;playlist update&rdquo;, not a map pack. But it&rsquo;s free to anyone who purchased the game new, of course, and hey, free stuff is cool stuff. Or something like that.<\/p>\n<p>So the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 VIP Map Pack is dropping 9 June (tomorrow). That&rsquo;s basically Squad Deathmatch on Nelson Bay, and Squad Rush on Laguna Alta. Does anyone actually play Squad Deathmatch or Squad Rush? Maybe that&rsquo;s the point.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, however, when is that premium it&rsquo;s-not-Horde-it&rsquo;s-Onslaught add-on getting here? EA&rsquo;s still not given any release date on that, the merciless tease. Until then, I guess we&rsquo;re playing Squad Deathmatch on Nelson Bay and Squad Rush on Laguna Alta. Or not. Seriously, is anyone actually excited about this? I&rsquo;m more of a Rush on Arica Harbour girl myself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php?6333-Bad-Company-2-VIP-Map-Pack-2-incoming&amp;p=237529#post237529\" target=\"_self\">Discuss Bad Company 2 VIP Map Pack 2<\/a> in the forums<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get your Squad Deathmatch and Squad Rush on with new-old props<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6303\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
