Honestly, I think it's a result of bad, sloppy coding. Unless these updates contain information about new maps, it makes no sense that updates should be so large. I remember the same thing happened with Bad Company 2: every once in a while the game would take a HUGE bite out of your HDD for an update that was only tweaking some gun stats here and there.

Then why is it when I download the DLC I'm downloading another several hundred meg/couple gig update every time there's a new map pack? Either way, it's a shitty system.

this. They essentially force you to download any dlc as an update, but you can only use it if you purchase the unlock key.

Kind of reminds me of that Bad Company 2 co-op mode that was ON THE DISK but you couldn't access it unless you bought a code. Pretty twisted stuff right there.
