Thanks for your reply Chris. It does say in the original post: 'A Battle Pack is a community member-made set of campaigns' Maybe I have misunderstood but in the modding community that I belong to a community member made set of anything is regarded as a mod (modification of the original game made by a member of the games fanbase). There seems to be a misconception that I am wanting something for nothing? I am more than happy to pay for a MOD as long as it's voluntary and I often do. The VALVE corporation recently tried this stunt and failed, not because the community didn't want to pay, they revolted because the concept of paid mods is contrary to what the modding community stand for. I am not interested in a flame war with businessmen as that's just a waste of my time and yours. Just let's have some honesty about the situation, contracts or not. I am sure all your fanboys (brainwashed sheep) will come to your defence anyway. If they are stupid enough to pay for a community mod then they you all deserve each other.

So I am a troll...nice community you have here. Or is it just you that's given to childish name calling? Mods should ALWAYS be free That's the idea of mods. You want to pay for them it should be YOUR choice, not have it foisted on you as a DLC. Let's be honest, these games are over priced, $75 released in 2011 is a bit steep to say the least. Rip off is what it is..plain and simple. I am sure the mod maker IS happy with the financial arrangement, he's as grubby as the company hawking it. If you don't mind paying for a mod that's your decision. BTW..quoting logical fallacies does not make you clever,especially when they are out of context.

Dress it up how you want...it's a mod...end of. I don't mind and often do give money to modders, that decision is left up to me and me alone. What I am seeing is a company SELLING a mod AND marketing it as a DLC. AND Saying the mod maker will get a 'significant cut'.........................how about the mod maker get ALL the money? A mod is a labor of love and a gift to the community, it should NEVER be about making money. These scenarios and maps you speak of, how much do you pay for them?

Questions: How much will the battle pack cost? And how much will the patch 3.12 cost?
