DLC= fail

What is it with EA/Activision with DLCs?

I'm talking especially about Crysis 2, which recently released the Decimation Map pack (plus some srsly unbalanced weapon) for about £10.

I mean, those in the know would have heard about CryTek releasing the Sandbox 3 / CryEngine SDK this summer of 2011, and £5 says that some geek will effectively COPY the map designs of the DLC maps and distribute it for free on various websites.

Halo:Custom Edition has loads of maps form other Halo games that are 'ported' onto the classic Halo release, so no-one's gonna stop these peeps from making a 'free' version of the DLC maps.

Crysis 2 is probably only worth £10 to me brand new. Lower textures than the first game which they attempt to mask using improved lighting and a lack of DX10 or DX11 too.

DLC map packs are a horrible idea for multiplayer games unless they release them free at a date in the future; it splits the community up.

I really hated it on COD5 when you had to wait in the lobby thing for multiplayer then you get told a minute later that you can't join the game because you didn't buy their DLC

Seconded. I used to run a BF1942 server and we could never run the expansion pack maps because it would empty the server.
