Yeah that is a big mistake on DICE part. They are assuming their core fan base will continue to love this game that late in it's life. Especially if they aren't adding any new maps and I don't consider them releasing the same maps but for different game types as being new.

Man I'm hoping I can snag this game this week since Target has it on sale for $37.

Thanks!

Quick question...I should buy this new because free DLC is available from the code on the manual?

If I buy it used and the code has also been used...it will cost me $10 to get caught up with the free stuff?

I'm sure they will be releasing a map pack for sale soon. So far all the DLC has been free.

Correct, but I think it costs $15.

Considering DICE is also creating the multiplayer for MOH, I don't really see how this is a mistake on their part. They are profiting either way.
