Are you getting BF3 Premium?

Im on the fence. Not particularly happy giving DICE money for the content I havent seen. Plus DICE love to tweak/ruin the base game all the time. At the same time they make new bugs every patch, like this in the newest patch : Supersonic smoke grenades.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ysv7UJq4gmE

Yeah I'm buying it tomorrow, I play BF3 a CRAP ton and though I feel like its a bit forced on players to enjoy all that content, its a good deal.

$15 (or $25 if you don't have Karkand) cheaper then getting them individually, along with a poop ton of extras you can't get otherwise, and I play BF3 online more then any other multiplayer game, as do my buddies (who all have the Premium themselves), so its a must buy for me.

I'm sad they haven't offered any new co-op or no spawn modes, but the single player and co-op were pretty tacked on anyways. Though at least co-op had potential for good DLC, especially if they took some pages from MW3 and their fantastic co-op DLC.

Nope. I'm against DLC (but not expansion packs which actually bring a lot of changes).

yeah id buy all the dlc anyway so this saves me money and gets me all the other stuff. I am a rabbid battlefield fan since 1942, spent a ungodly ammount of time in BF2 and 2142, nothing like huge 64 man servers with all the vehicles and **** goin at once I love it. Its just a different kind of shooter and ill will play it all the way till end game even though im getting ghost recon next week and halo 4 in the fall they are all multiplayer shooters but all so different I really enjoy each kind.

Also if you play alot add me im Leachalc always lookin for good squadmates

Premium is a decent deal if you were planning to get all the DLC anyway... One of the few nice things about getting older is lots of discretionary income. I'll get it for all the extra maps, as I really like this game....

I've already gifted it to two friends and I'll probably be getting it for myself tomorrow(after another day of jury duty :( ) just because I'd like to support DICE, even though I've pretty much reached a point where I've more/less learned the game inside and out clocking in at 610+ hours, I like the jets in the game more than anything else but when I can go 37-0 in a short match with jet after not playing for a week or go 44-3 with an IFV after not playing with one for around 6 weeks, I feel that I've explored the game and even though I don't plan on playing much aside from 1 v 1 dogfighting I think DICE has more than earned my support at this point, even from a monetary perspective we could say it's $110 at 610+ hours it's like 18 cents per hour played :P

For me personally and I know for many others as well, the most interesting period in playing a game is when you're learning everything the game has to offer, and I think this is a reason why many people who have played for example COD 4 or previous COD games feel worn out on the latest installments as they are very similar and the position on the learning curve is not reset, hence someone who has say played COD 2, COD 4, and COD 6 may feel like there's nothing new to learn with COD 8, and although BF3 is very different from previous installments of Battlefield, after 600+ hours of pubbing, 150+ hours of scrims, and 50+ hours of watching BF3 videos I feel like I've exhausted everything(scenarios and playstyles) BF3 has to offer, but I implore others to play to this point as it takes a very long time before you feel like you've learned everything the game has to offer. DICE has earned my money and I will happily give it to them even for products and services I may not necessarily make full use of.

I want the map packs but I don't like how they have bundled them or the price point. Making me buy the Karkand map pack a second time is not cool. If you can't give me a discount on Premium then give me a credit to use towards another purchase on Origin. I will buy them if and when they get discounted, I'd be willing to pay $30 maybe $40.

But right now, I'm thinking I will just jump ship from BF3 and start playing more Tribes and CS:GO

If the price is that much of an issue you can load some money onto a prepaid gift card(Mastercard or Visa gift card) and use a web proxy for an Indian IP to buy premium for $27.

Thanks for the tip, I might just do that, but I'll wait to see if their is any blow back from EA for customers who have done this already. I'm in no rush to get premium.

Possibly. It saves you 10 bucks if you were planning to get all the DLC anyway, so, I don't see a reason not to. Now, I just need to find a paypal....

I got it. It's a good deal and the problems I have with BF3 aren't enough for me to not purchase any DLC.

Still? Are you f***ing kidding me DICE?

They've had this issue since Double XP ended, I lost a bunch of progress last week and stopped playing.

Seriously, they can make a great game and I'm excited for Premium, but they need to get their heads together and keep their game running like it should. I always said "EA games come with free misery", mainly due to online issues, and this makes it hard to prove that wrong.

I do like DICE and all, but adding fuel to the fire of these issues, the new MASS bug is the new AUG + M320 Smoke Grenade launcher underslung being used like a railgun. Very typical of DICE, fix/add one thing, break something else.

No friggen way I'm paying $50 on a game I already bought. No friggen way. For some maps and skins and a knife and a dog tag that says premium. No friggen way.

$60 for the game + Kirkland already bought $15 + Premium $50 = $125. What could I do with that money? Upgrade my computer. Put it into several steam games in the summer sale.

BF3 is an ok game, but it is not worth that much. No friggen way.

I have no idea how anyone could justify that. They are all gonna be pissed when premium goes on sale. Like all DLC does.

I wonder how long until they annouce BF4 or BFBC3.

Edit: I'll add too that I have been playing RO2 since they fixed it. I hated RO2 before but man I am having a lot more fun in that game then I ever did in BF3. Once you get used to it, its amazing fun. Then when I go back to BF3, I can't even stand it. Sure its not as pretty, but fun is all that matters.

Its like some gypsy cursed DICE. When they get stuff working, something else breaks.

I remember with Bad Company 2 the game had an overpowered M60, then after fixing it we got an entire summer of horrible server lag that didn't get fixed for a while. Like I love their games, but damn this stuff happens too frequently.

Probably, not sure. The only thing I'm worried about are the two extra DLC packs that we know very little about. Aftermath and End game. One sounds like survival mode though. Close quarters looks good at least and armored kill sounds good. I might get premium just before CQ goes live.

Yeah I'm buying it tomorrow, I play BF3 a CRAP ton and though I feel like its a bit forced on players to enjoy all that content, its a good deal.

$15 (or $25 if you don't have Karkand) cheaper then getting them individually, along with a poop ton of extras you can't get otherwise, and I play BF3 online more then any other multiplayer game, as do my buddies (who all have the Premium themselves), so its a must buy for me.

I'm sad they haven't offered any new co-op or no spawn modes, but the single player and co-op were pretty tacked on anyways. Though at least co-op had potential for good DLC, especially if they took some pages from MW3 and their fantastic co-op DLC.

Well you can check out a preview of Armored Kill if you'd like: http://www.origin.com/battlefield3-chat?easid=opm_bf3chat_extpromo It seems like it's way too easy to take down the AC-130 but it looks like the sort of maps a lot of whiners wanted.

I want the map packs but I don't like how they have bundled them or the price point. Making me buy the Karkand map pack a second time is not cool. If you can't give me a discount on Premium then give me a credit to use towards another purchase on Origin. I will buy them if and when they get discounted, I'd be willing to pay $30 maybe $40.

But right now, I'm thinking I will just jump ship from BF3 and start playing more Tribes and CS:GO

If the price is that much of an issue you can load some money onto a prepaid gift card(Mastercard or Visa gift card) and use a web proxy for an Indian IP to buy premium for $27.

Zubinen, how would one do this? I'm an total noob when it comes to this though, I did send you an PM in case you don't want to answer it here. Thanks! :P

Using the mozilla addon FoxyProxy you could just google "Indian IP" and click the ip you want and then in the Origin store Premium would appear to cost 1500 rupees which is equivalent to just under $27. DICE hotfixed this about a day after my post because a lot of people were purchasing Premium under an Indian IP.

Yes because I'm going to continue to play a broken game before they fix it so my stats and progress and unlocks don't matter.

Its fixed now at least, sort of. I keep my progress but it takes an hour for the battlereport to come in and for my main page to change and reflect what I've earned.

I got Karkand but won't be buying any more DLC. It's a great game but I'm kind of getting bored after 80 hours playtime.
