The news comes after Infinity Ward put a pricetag of 1200 Microsoft Points on its Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Map Pack.
IW's pack went on sale yesterday - with some complications. DICE's own VIP 2 map pack became available on the same day - without cost.
"We don't ever want to charge for our maps and insisted to EA that this attitude was crucial when it came to keeping our community happy and playing together," DICE senior producer Patrick Bach told Xbox World 360 magazine.
Bach commented that DICE had "generous" amounts of DLC planned for Battlefield: Bad Company 2's future.
He added: "We're owned by EA but we're still very much DICE."

And also, are you trying to say that they forced IW to put a price on both the PS3 and the X360 versions of the stimulus map pack?
So now, according to you, Microsoft have a say in what content is produced - and the prices tagged along with them - on a console and a company that they don't even own! LOL!

Daddy's home.
Even though this is a bumped thread let me just add that I'm not surprised they are not charging. Map pack 1 new maps, fair enough. Map pack 2, maps on the game being available on different game modes, except for Laguna Presa(?) which is a different area from conquest. Map pack 3 will be Nelson Bay and another available for squad games. No new maps there.
