| JaggedSac said: It all depends on how the development process went for these maps. All maps have to be complete well before testing and gold status is reached. These new maps could have been placed into development at a time where they could not be finished before release. Perhaps they were maps that needed some extra time to get right and could not make the deadline. These would be optimistic views though :) |
Which is the issue, you never know. Which is why preexisting content is the only thing that makes sense. It's just as likely they had stuff done and didn't release it because they needed day 1 conetent. Or they had time to get it done, but decided to wait because they needed day 1 DLC and instead spent time working on other projects. Even EA probably couldn't tell you definitivly and that's the rub with DLC espeically DLC withing the first month. In fact the ony reason you wouldn't use prexisting games and things like MS points is infact the negative view that this was all planned from the outset and held back... afterall otherwise it makes so much more sense to use something that takes no additional effort.
