It would be nice if they made it free, besides, mappacks as paid DLC is flawed because it divides the playerbase, those who didn't pay get kicked off the server whilst the one who did pay suffer with low populations who brought the DLC in the first place.
My design method wouldn't be to make maps and shared content free, but the perky additions like modules and weapon DLCs. They wouldn't surpass the strongest free weapons and modules in terms of overall effectiveness, but would give you advantages that the free players wouldn't. Gameplay DLC is a bit of a dangerous game in terms of balance, since people will bich immensely if you nerf things you paid for, but if done right would at least mean players with paid DLC weapons and modules could play with those who don't and doesn't divide the community.
