Battlefield 3 premium service launching June 4 - Report

Well i'm uninstalling BF3 today and wont look back since there isent any more greedy bastards then EA.

Now its a question of how much its gonna cost, having very mixed feelings about this. I have both MW3 and BF3 and enjoy both, but this time I wasn't planning on purchasing mw3 map packs because I was so hyped into bf3 maps especially that the limited edition came with a free map pack and eventually battlefield 1943, so bf3 got some free stuff there, I just hope its at least cheaper than mw3 service but we'll wait in see with in the next month. June 12th is when close quarters comes out and its may15th now, so any day we'll get the prce for the subscription service or how much it will cost if you get the map packs seperately. Still excited about the indoor gunning in june but this map pack greed is really making second guess it. Well I guess if its news that I don't like I can stick with Starhaw which already stated to have all map packs free.

thats EA for you :D

PS

greedy bastards >:C

Hahahaha people have to be out of their minds. I never bought Battlefail 3 after that disgusting Beta. It was clear that game was not of the higher quality of the prior games. In fact i love Campaigns and that Campaign was laughable at least from the Vids i saw. The linearity, downgrade in graphics and destruction. Just an awful game (just my opinion). EA is going down the shoot very quickly. They used to be my favorite Gaming Company back in the day, but their Sports Games, Medal of Honor and Battlefield Franchises suck in pure simple English.

ea killed bf3 with their greed!

i felt sorry for buying BF3 long ago becuse of the web browser crap and the s#@ty origin it is safe to say i am never buying an EA game with origin ever again not sucking that crap any more

If only people would boycott..

I still play BF3 once a week and usually a longer session of a few hours so I most likely will buy anything that comes out for this game. It's worth it IMO, since I have not touched another shooter online. Bought MW3 played it literally 5 times.

I'm not sure what is sadder...the fact EA and Activision are doing this or the fact that there will plenty of people who will buy these subscriptions thus reinforcing the action of subscription based games.

well, cod's effortless success and money grabbing strategies continue to ruin other games and give publishers what they've always wanted.

Well they did say EA is one of the worst companies in the world lol, so yeah kinda expected. The always put random bullshit in their games to squeeze their customers dry of all their cash, and they wonder why they lose fans daily.

I think it's a missed opportunity to go the paid route for this kind of thing instead of a campaign where you earn your keep via sharing things on social networks and doing other 'jobs' to 'pay' your way through. Case in point, the Tristana and Alistar skins in League of Legends. You get them via Facebook and Youtube. You save yourself an incredible amount of money from doing this over traditional advertising... but no, everything is money upfront. It's shamefully uncreative.

Expected. Makes sence in fact. I have almos 200hrs spent on BF3 mp, + SP campain, 50€? Can understand why they want more.

No thanks. Battlefield 3 was a disappointment, but even if it was the greatest game ever, I'll never let a company nickel and dime me with **** that should be free. But companies show their customer appreciation by squeezing every penny they can out of them.

you guys paid for it hence why they push it, you can blame gamers for things like this

I like the idea of dlc drops but come on, another subscription? This needs to stop!

I think it would just be easier for publishers to send us all a box of condoms with each game they release and tell to hold onto them until they decide to come over and rape us up the ass. They are doing it already with their crappy prices so it will just be a matter of time....a matter of time.....

Awwww, they went the COD route. (shakes head) That's a real shame.

And so it begins...

so glad i dident buy battlefield 3

its milking is as horrible as cod

arma 2 all the way

Wow, it really took you guys about a whole week to pick this news up?

Anyway, it's funny how EA has completely gone against their original marketing, in which they constantly bashed COD elite and made loads of emphsis on Battlelog being free.

There's no way I'd be doing this. If I'm going to have a different dog tag than others, I want it to be because I achieved something, not because I paid for it.
