Battlefield: Bad Company To Charge For Weapons?

I have stuck up for DLC like the new mission for Mass Effect recently but this kind of stuff is simply awful and it's none other then the E.A. we all have come to love..... Not ! :?

Anywho, check this out - if true then there goes one of my anticipated multiplats for 2008 because I'm just not going to support this kind of DLC.

What do you think ?

Its DICE not EA ...

If everyone was like me thatn this crap wouldn't even exsist. I never buy DLC for games. Never ever. The reason is that they could have put the whole thing in the game but they just decided that they won't so they can milk us even more.

Well I say no sir! I won't ever buy DLC for any game. Include your crap in the game like it should have been in the first place. It's not like the devs don't have time. There are still a few months left till the game releases they have time to put those weapons in there if they wanted to.

So to know already that we have to pay for extra guns...it's massed up. The first EA game that was like that was NFS Pro-Street. Wich is a crap game anyway. Each car was $2.99 on PSN. It's just crazy!

No it's not DICE's decision! It's EA. I know of two companies who are doing that Microsoft and EA. and EA stands on first place in chargeing for DLC. As I said before look at NFS Pro-Street. Each car was $2.99.

I haven't seen another game that charge so much for so little.

I could understand games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3. They are constantly adding new songs. That's a different story. But when you have a game built and than you decide that oh...let's take out 10 guns and offer them for $X , that's really massed up! And in all honesty....EA is the big Evil here! EA could say that no!! Include all that crap in or we won't publish your game. But that is not what they are saying. What they are saying is, take out some content and we will charge for it as DLC.

It's business man!!

Remeber NFS Pro-Street? The cars where already in there you just basicaly paid for the code to unlock them. EA sucks!

EA is the owner of DICE, not just the publisher.

If this is true I'm not even going to buy the game, EA has been ripping us off for years and I'm not going to buy another EA game ever if they carry on.

Not only that but if BF2 is anything to go by, then they wont patch glitches, and wont bother with extra maps and stuff. This is milkage at its best.

Totally unacceptable.

Ah, I didnt know that, fair enough then.

Hopefully Battlefield 3 wont be like that, they know they wont get away with it on the PC.

You have got to be kidding me.

That is just terrible.

*shakes head*

i hate Ea as much as the next guy but im pretty certain that this will be the same as their other games, in which you will be able to purchase the weapons if you dont have the time to invest, but you will still prob be able to unlock them by playing through the game not a direction i particulary agree with but prob not as bad as some make out.Thebettertwin

something tells me its not like that, i think you actually have to purchase it before you could unlock it...its almost more than half of the total guns in the game

I could see this happening with BF Heroes though - as the game is free and microtransactions based.

Knowing EA that could be true but surely even EA arent stupid enough to do this without realising the negative attention it would receive.

you'd be surprised..this is the same EA that took cars out of NFS carbon and add a pricetag on them

What next? Are they going to make you purchase the football in the next Madden game? :?jethrovegas

Please don't give them any ideas !
