Bad Company 2 Giving Free Mapathy Cure
Posted by Adam Larck on 03.11.2010





Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is taking a jab at Modern Warfare 2's marketing ploy.

Seen over on the Battlefield blog, the VIP Map Pack 2 will be available on March 30, the same day Modern Warfare 2 releases their Stimulus Package DLC.

The VIP Map Pack 2 will be free for all VIP members (those that got a code with their copy of the game), and will unlock Conquest mode for Arica Harbor and Rush mode for Laguna Presa.

What's interesting, though, is how DICE is marketing this. They're calling this "How to avoid ‘mapathy' without paying!" and saying the pack will help you "avoid "mapathy" without getting nickel-and-dimed." Both are a jab on Infinity Ward's mapathy marketing idea.
