Seriously, this ticks me off. So I decided to buy the mode for $10, seeing as how I though four person co-op would be cool and all. So I'm thinking that this download might take a hour to download or so, but it turns out that the file size of the download was only 100KB! I'm guessing this was already on the disk to begin with but DICE made us wait for it... makes me somewhat upset.

It was most likely in that 200mb update.

I doubt it takes 200mb to allow you to see a picture of the soldier in the class selection screen.

It seems that game developers are including DLC onto the disc and waiting a certain amount of time before unlocking it. I remember MW2 doing the same thing.

It was that last huge update. Burnout Paradise did the same thing with the island DLC. They made you download it in a patch update and then you'd pay to unlock it in the game.

:roll: seriously.. you can't download a 300mb patch that adds basically nothing and then come up with this BS.. seriously.. lots of games just include DLC in patches so that way you dont' have to download it when it comes out, you can just "unlock" it..

They also let you download the content in patches so that if someone else is using a special featur from the update, you can see it. Like in burnout, the toy vehicles and such. The patch you downlaoded was the DLC. All you got from the store was a key to unlock it.I think this is happening more and more often.

The levels are already on the disc, the game mode is run through the server.

Like everyone is saying the 1.04 udpate that was like 450mb added onslaught and we just had to get the key.
