@ PresidentEden: I was suspecting EA having a hand in this too, but as is, most things point to DICE, since they're still the developers of Battlefield. Maybe they didn't make the price, but, even if it was FREE, DICE should not have done it.

@ PGB: There have been many comments about the "recycled maps" for different game modes. Generally, I think they should be looking more towards making NEW maps, or at least re-releasing the BFBC ones. But still note that these maps do NOT essentially cost 15$ (1200 MS). The VIP code comes free with the purchase of a new copy of the game. ie: you have to pay if you buy it used, otherwise, no.
