That seems to depend largely on the dev or publisher. Criterion have released several good free updates for Burnout Paradise along side their premium offerings. And there's also been free map packs for Gears of War and Halo 3. However on the whole most DLC content needs to be paid for, and despite it being a couple or more years ago, we are still seeing "Horse Armour" style offerings from some companies. For instance Dead Space and Far Cry 2's offerings have been rather poor for the money asked. At the end of the day though, I, like any other consumer will vote with my wallet as to what I think is worth paying for. As for possible DLC content I'd like to see for ArmA2; I primarily played OFP and ArmA for the co-op experience, so more good quality co-op missions are something I'd gladly stump up money for.

OK so I've got a new computer and just recently got a new video card and I haven't played OFP for over a year so Ireinstall it. Well I'm thinking OFP is a 4 year old game so I'll max out the settings my new machine should cope easily right? Well wrong, dispite being 4 years old OFP still takes some juice to max it out. I'm currently trying to find the best setting for my rig and I need some help. I have a P4 300ghz, 1.5gb RAM, 256mb NV6800GT and I want to run the game at a 1240 x 1024 resolution. Where I'm having the trouble it seems is with the view distance and if I switch on object shadows if I try to max out the view distance settings in the in game options my machine praticaly grinds to a stand still. Can anyone offer me some acceptable settings for my hardware?
