Bad Company 2 map pack 5 available now

Alas there are no new actual maps in this fifth map pack for the game. What you get instead is the ability to play modes on maps that you couldn’t before.

You can now play Rush Mode at White Pass and Conquest Mode at Nelson Bay. Map Pack 5 is available free to those who have a VIP code (free with all new-game purchases), and anyone who bought the game used will have to purchase a $10 online pass to play the content.

Does anyone else think they should have been able to play the game’s different modes on all the maps out of the box instead of it being posited as DLC?
