GRRRRR now they got me doing it, calling this another map pack LOL.
Dice's community guy zh1nt0 via twitter posted a link to the following thread:
The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 ingame store has once again given away info on the upcoming map pack. Map pack #5 is set to be released this Wednesday, July 28th and contains White Pass rush and Nelson Bay conquest. As with the previous map packs, this will be free for players who have entered a VIP code.
It displays the listing of Map Pack play list 5 in the store. zh1nt0 goes on in the this thread to state it will be released on July 28th for both consoles and PCs
Rahulsood, the founder of Voodoo PC and the CTO of HP's Gaming buisness, writes an interesting article I think most PC gamers already knew.
There was a project that got killed at Microsoft. This project was designed to allow console gamers and PC gamers to interact and battle over a connected environment. Personally I wish it would have stayed the course. I've heard from reliable sources that during the development they brought together the best console gamers to play mediocre PC gamers at the same game... and guess what happened? They pitted console gamers with their "console" controller, against PC gamers with their keyboard and mouse.
Wait for it........
The console players got destroyed every time. So much so that it would be embarrassing to the XBOX team in general had Microsoft launched this initiative. Is this why the project was killed Who knows, but I'd love to hear from anyone involved --- what happened?
As we say in the PC community, "The biggest detriment to PC gaming is Microsoft and not piracy"
Head on over to Rahulsood's blog to read the full article.

Kids today are all about special edition this and collector’s edition that, so it’s not surprise that Electronic Arts has gone ahead and revealed that their upcoming shooter reboot Medal of Honor will receive the limited edition treatment later this year.
For just $0.00 more than the standard retail price, players will gain exclusive access to the MP7, as well as two new multiplayer weapons, and day-one access to the TOZ-194 and 870MC2 shotguns (which can be accessed in game by all players by ranking up).
If you pre-order the limited edition, you’ll also gain access to the game’s multiplayer beta, which is currently only available on PC and PlayStation 3 but should be hitting the Xbox 360 sometime soon.
The Medal of Honor limited edition will be available on October 12 for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
