Did someone say Strike at Karkand?

We’ve been tipped off by a reader who knows someone, who knows someone (etc.) who has details about a possible free DLC for Bad Company 2, which would include the famous Strike at Karkand map — by far the most played and popular map not only in BF2, but online shooters in general. The map will allegedly have the same outlines and proportions of the BF2 map, but will be limited to the 32 player version, as seen on the screenshot above. Likewise, it will include the same vehicles (the LAV-25 and BRT-90 APCs are apparently set to return), and spawn points.
This would be epic, I can't wait to destroy EVERYTHING . Of course, it's only a rumour for now.
