An update on the Battlefield Blog has details on the expected second batch of free DLC for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for customers with the VIP code that comes in new copies of the military shooter sequel. The DLC was promised before the end of the month, and true to that it will be released for all platforms on March 30. They offer details and screenshots for the Arica Harbor Conquest and Laguna Presa Rush maps in the DLC. They explain their DLC philosophy, tossing a couple of grenades at their "direct competitors" along the way:

VIP members will be able to expand on the deep and ever changing sandbox experience, which in itself provides near endless hours of entertainment, by having new content to keep things fresh. It also plays a vital part in making sure you, the players get proper value for the money you’ve invested in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. This is why these map packs are available at no extra cost, contradicting the industry standard and what our direct competitors are doing. Of course, it also helps avoid segmenting the community, making sure everyone can play together having the same maps available. There will be future paid downloadable content as well but these packs will focus on expanding other parts of the game experience rather than the selection of maps available for the basic game modes. We’re dedicated to taking care of this product for a long time – helping you avoid “mapathy” without getting nickel-and-dimed.
