I've never played them so I wouldn't know heh.

I never played a BF game prior to this one. I too used to be baffled by the map pack and why anyone would drop money on such a thing. It seemed like a waste of money.
Truth be told, I had to be harangued into it by friends. 200 Hours of game play later and I don't regret it one bit. Map packs add more than just maps in the way it changes game play. It adds new weapons and most of all, for a multi-player based game, it adds game play formats.
Now the exception here, that was brought up prior to my post aswell, was the Second Assault pack, which was a re-release of old maps. The thing to remember is these maps were voted on. This is essentially an all-star map pack with what people considered to be the best maps in BF 3.
Point is, the map packs add $15 worth of additional game play in my mind. If you aren't an FPS fan, or don't enjoy huge amounts of variation in your game play then they don't make sense.
