I'm actually pretty excited for this particular map pack. I like the idea of playing on Alcatraz Island and throughout the prison.
I'll pick it up and play it a few times for sure.

Homefront is one of my favorite shooters. Disappointingly short story, but it was engaging.
I wish I still had it, the multiplayer kicked CoD out of the water

I played the multiplayer demo, and while I thought it was a fun mix of Battlefield and CoD, I didn't feel like it warranted a purchase.
If the maps have this much content at that price, then dammit I'll bite the bullet & buy it used+online pass.
I know people are still playing it on OnLive but it's not like they have a lot of multiplayer FPS games to choose from on there. It is part of their playpack deal though, it's not like they all own the full game.
The demo was alright but didn't seem unique enough to make it worth purchasing over Battlefield 3. Still, 400MS points for 4 maps is damned good value considering the same number of maps for CoD is triple that price.
The multiplayer is what KAOS studios is known for, so this is oviously a welcome addition, however, I think I said it best in the last post:
• Alcatraz - America’s most infamous prison becomes the site of fierce close-quarters fighting. (It sounds rather small, close-quarters, hopefully not limited to TDM)
• Bridge – A combined arms effort to secure the North Tower of the Golden Gate Bridge and surrounding area, large-scale warfare at its best! (If it's anything like the final level of the campaign, should be interesting/fun)
• Waterway – Wage war atop storefronts and in the streets of the Spillway, where every inch feels like a mile. (This just sounds like they're adding Spillway, a new map from the last 2-map map pack, to the TDM playlist)
• Overpass – Battle in a fan-favorite Ground Control space for the first time in Team Deathmatch! (Again, making a Ground Control-only map playable in TDM)
So it seems we will be getting two NEW maps, one of which seems like it might be Team Deathmatch-ONLY and the other 'two' are the ability to play existing maps in TDM. I'm not really digging the 'infantry' focus, because KAOS Studios games always excell in the Battlefield-type(hell, they helped develop it) formula.

Oh and if you find it cheap/used definitely give it a shot(ON XBOX360) I say that because it seems that there are still issues on the PS3 party-system.
@Chongomaster: This is most definitely not a BF3 replacement, this has been, at least for me, largely a kill-time-until-BF3 kinda thing.

If what you say is true, hopefully the two "new" maps will be available for both gametypes. It really adds to the game when you can play every map in any playlist.
Sadly, I only had one other friend buy the first DLC, so we never got to play together, or we couldn't play the new maps. The DLC really split the already dying community. Hopefully THQ Montreal can improve the overall matchmaking experience for HF2 and we get another FPS franchise in the CoD/BF dominated field.
Also, anyone know if they're still working on the single player DLC?
