Sorry, but this is a jerk thing to do. This is not a reward for dedicated fans-- this is an attempt to screw over a portion of the fan base. $15 for two maps if I buy used? Ridiculous.

How many people who buy used are going to actually know about this-- I'd bet not many. Most people will probably buy the game and later realize that EA has held back content. This will only upset customers.

The dedicated fans already pre-ordered the Limited Edition.

$70 used ($15 DLC-5 discount) vs $60 new.

And it's not held back content, as it was never on the disc. It's DLC, it's something completely extra.

 

Would you simply be happy if EA made it so that everyone had to pay $15 for the DLC? Way to try to drag everyone down with you, since you're too cheap to buy a game new and support DICE.

 

It's a GIFT, that they're giving to those who aren't willing to stuff Gamestop's coffers so that they can give "Power to the player".

That's a completely meaningless distinction.

For all you know it could of been held off the disc to be DLC.

Exactly.

If you ask for a chicken sandwich I give you a chicken sandwich without the chicken and then turn around to give you the chicken fillet on the side then am I giving you a gift or what you should have gotten in the first place?

that's the most ridiculous argument I've ever read and lacks any semblance of logic or intelligence. a chicken sandwhich inherently requires chicken, so it can't be a chicken sandwhich if you do not provide it at all, whereas a video game is still a game specific additional content. 

 

the intelligent example is offering additional chicken on the side for the sandwhich at an extra price, which most places do.  subway calls it double meat.  but the sandwhch still contains the approved portion of meat to begin with, which is what you should get to begin with.  the extra meat, like extra video game content, does not fall into that criteria, even if it is additionally withheld for DLC later.  the official game is only what is released, not every idea that was conceived in development.

 

you really should be embarrased for not grasping that simple difference.  I mean, it would be hysterical if it wasn't so sad that you don't.
