BFBC2 to Receive Free Map Pack on March 30
DICE has revealed that it will launch the first map pack for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (BFBC2) on March 30, the same day of launch as the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 map pack for Xbox 360. Although Activision has not officially announced the price for the Modern Warfare 2 map pack, it looks like it will cost around 800 Microsoft points. This is in comparison to a free map pack for BFBC2 VIP members. DICE has said that the free release of the map pack is to provide a fresh experience and proper value for money to the online community. A free release also avoids the problem of segregation between players who have or don't have the map pack. The map pack is unlocked using the VIP code included with all new copies of Battlefield: Bad Company. Second hand purchasers can also buy the pack for $15. I think it's good to see such a quick implementation of new, and free content by DICE, which is more than can be said for Infinity Ward.

Google Apps Marketplace Announced
Just like the infamous market place for Apple, Google is planning on making its own area for Android applications to be purchased and used. The new store will basically be based on top of the current Android marketplace, but will feature a single login design, various installable apps built on open protocols with authorized sales and access, universal navigation, as well as some domain date integrated features. Over fifty companies will be working with Google in its pursuit to make its marketplace idea become an actual reality and replace the Android side of it. Prices should be very reasonable throughout all of the Google Apps Marketplace, and application creation should be, as of current knowledge, easy for developers with the open protocols being used.

Details About New Medal of Honor Game
The Medal of Honor series has been around for quite some time, though it hasn't made much of a splash lately. EA hopes to change that with the upcoming iteration, which should be far different than previous versions. The most obvious difference can be found in the setting of the game. Whereas previous games were set in World War 2, this game will be set in modern day Afghanistan. Gamers will control an elite soldier that is part of a squad, which from the demo appear to be quite capable of offering help. The single and multi player aspects of the game will be handled by different studios, with DICE taking care of the online component.
