Remember the Cerberus Network from Mass Effect 2? It's baaaa-aaaack! When you pick up your brand new copy of Bad Company 2 it will come with a one-time-use code that will give you access to new content, free of charge. If you buy the game used, you'll be able to unlock the content for $15.

Here's a video preview of the maps in question.

The code will, in fact, give you some day-one content. "This map pack features the Laguna Alta map playable in Conquest mode and Nelson Bay map playable in Rush mode, bringing the total number of multiplayer maps up to 10," EA announced. "Later in March, DICE will release yet another map pack at no extra charge, giving players a chance to experience the Africa Harbor map in Conquest mode and Laguna Presa map in Rush mode. Available in the box, the content packs are unlocked by simply inputting a VIP code."

Did you catch that last bit? The content comes in the box. You're not getting new content, you're simply unlocking maps that shipped with the game. While DICE and EA promise more content coming to the game, most likely to be both free and for-pay depending on the content, the very first map pack seems to exist mostly to give the middle finger to used game retailers.
