EA explains Battlefield:BC's pay-to-play weapons

Haha, looks like everyone is getting the F2P with Cash Shop treatment that some of us PC MMORPGers are sadly familiar with XD

Unfortunately, despite the suckiness of the business model, it WILL be successful XD prepare to shell out

Seems like these features that are being planned before the launch of the game should be included in the game.

They could easily add them in. If they aren't in there already and are just being unlocked.

And to say that it won't add an unfair advantage.... stoopid.

No, no thats fine EA, I don't mind your d@*k up my ass, no you just carry on.

Nato_Duke said that we are all going to buy this game anyway, even if we hate what they are doing. That is true for Hardcore FPS players. I, on the other hand, only buy Multilayer FPS about once every 6 months, and I was considering this game for my next fps purchase. I have heard good things about the franchise, but with this news EA has guaranteed that I wont buy it this one.

Not everyone is a hardcore gamer who buys every game on the market. Casual gamers are the people who they are going to lose with this kind of tactic. The hard core games will almost all buy the game and the extras. the question is if it is worth losing casual gamers to sell extras to the hardcore crowd.

I am willing to bet EA knows what they are doing with this. I don't like it, but sad experience has show that when they pull this kind of crap everyone pisses and moans about it and then goes and buys the game anyway.

please prove me wrong, people. I don't want to be right about this one.
