All that said, it still sucks that there's no mods. If BF3 was actually as in-depth as BF2, then I don't think we'd complain so much about mods and DLC.
Thats not the point though. 15 dollars is still a ridiculous amount of money for what your getting. I could pay 20 dollars for the Skyrim expansion and get 25 more hours of exciting new gameplay, were as the 4 maps (idk the number exactly) you get probably max 2 or 3 to learn the layout and how the maps work. Sure, you thus get unlimited time but the maps will become stale and boring after a while and will learn that what is there is all that there is to offer.

At least with BF2 the modders themselves were able to make a level editor and such to pump out exciting new maps (for free), and even some were very good in comparison to stock ones. Same with CoD4, there were plenty of custom maps to play on the PC that kept the game alive and exciting without getting boring with old maps over and over. The fact that developers don't allow you to use some sort of tool to help create you own mp maps (even something remotely like forge would have been alright, i mean cmon) just plainly shows how they can be greedy and get rid of the competition that they might have with any sort of DLC.
