They're gonna be released sometimes in the next 2 weeks. The sucky thing is though they're gonna be premium content, they'll cost £2.99 for the both of them. Thing is I have no problem paying for these, it's my most played Live game and after all the content Ubi have given us free it's not suprising they're eventually asking for something in return.

Oh and unlike other downloadable content apparently the maps don't just feel like cheapy extras, they're both as good if not better than the mpas given away with the original game.

The levels are called River Mall and Federal Bank and they look really excellent. There's more info on them and tons of videos here [URL] http://xbox.ign.com/articles/520/520840p1.html [/URL]

Damn IGN insiders! It won't let me in. Is it Single Player maps or multi?

We need some new MP maps sharpish. I know the current ones inside out now, as will many others.

This is totally off topic but I almost got RSC2 for £20 from GAME's Deal Of The Day.

MP maps, the levels look really sweet. Specially the mall level, looks to be very big and more intrestingly designed than most of the original maps. I look forward to hiding from Mercs behind the indoor waterfall.

Yeah, to be honest to say there were only 6 or so maps to start with, half of them were a bit naff to be honest.

Not a problem paying for content, it is just this is the way it will be with all download content from here on and it will only go up from here.

Multiplayer? Jackpot!

I don't mind paying for them :) Now I just need to find a non-IGN Insider link...

Am I the only one who's annoyed about having to pay?

It's only 3 quid though. And no matter how annoyed you get, they're not going to give you them for free.

I see no problem with paying for them. I've already got well over 100 hours of entertainment out of a game I paid £32 for, that kind of money wouldn't even come close to paying for a single night out in town. SO paying £3 for 2 new maps which look to be well worth the moolaa is fine by me.

It's not like Ubi haven't given us free content in the past. With the amount of free stuff available for Island Thunder and Rainbow Six 3, it's not suprising that they've decided to charge for something eventually.
