Why is everyone getting their panties in a bunch over this? I see this in a lot of games, and it's not like these few things are going to break the game. Plus this content will probably be available for dlc at some point.

[QUOTE="edidili"] [QUOTE="Doolz2024"]Blame EA, not DICE.RemmibMinor difference. They're the same thing in the end. Are you serious?...:roll:
The full name of Dice is "EA Digital Illusions CE". The company is subsidiary of EA. The same as Bioware they are part of EA.

Yh gets me every game a day early. Just checked their site and they got it.Wow 2 weapons that probably suck... time to OVER REACT!!!!!!SaltyMeatballsoh I forget we only say negative things about Cod. Cod map pack had a lot of bashing and they don't enough even affect game play if you don't buy. But this is fine let those people from UK who pre ordered get 2 weapons to kill others without them. Sounds fair m i ryt?

If it was MW3 it would potrayed as the hell on earth. I m in UK and will pre order at game but I feel its unfair to include these pre orders skims especially for 1 nation.
So will we have servers that exclude UK players?
Just kidding.
This will be made available later on as purchase, but yes I don't like it at all.
Also! This may interest the people here:
"We willrevealBattlefield 3 preorder bonus items in other countries soon. Stay tuned."
So you will get stuff too! Maybe better stuff :P
oh oh that sounds like different guns for different nations. lolSo will we have servers that exclude UK players?

Wow 2 weapons that probably suck... time to OVER REACT!!!!!!SaltyMeatballsYou are defending the prospect of exclusive multiplayer abilities.
[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"]Wow 2 weapons that probably suck... time to OVER REACT!!!!!!McStrongfastYou are defending the prospect of exclusive multiplayer abilities.
This is really low comming from DICE. Real low. Hopefully community backlash is strong enough to have them put it in the game at launch or make it downloadable, something.

Does League of Legends count?
not sure does it have a shop that you can buy stuff to gt the upper hand on players?
Ok so let's say there is the physical warfare pack and then 3 more packs for different regions?
That means there will be quite a few extra weapons.
I wouldn't mind that at all, as long as they work well for the gameplay and won't be expensive to purchase afterwards, so that you have all weapons.
Either the weapons suck or they will be made available for purchase afterwards. And then it all depends on the price, and whether the basic game has enough weapons etc.
It's too early to tell.
I'm not protecting BF3. If they mess this up and this turns out to be a low blow through DLC I'll give them hell for it on this forum. It's just too early to tell whether this is good or bad. The fact that I was able to pre-order this game for a very very low price, may be influencing my mind.

In all honesty this is nothing to write tear-filled paragraphs and canceled preorder threats over(which is what 80% of the EA forums is doing). It's an awful idea and should be aborted immediately, but it's not going to ruin the balance of the game. In all likelihood, the items will suck(*looks at F2000 in original BC*), or atleast be reskins.

Well yeah you buy champions instead of using in-game currency but in order to buy the runes and stuff, that can only be used through in-game currency. You can still buy an xp or ip (the in-game currency) boost but the game is pretty balanced I think.

Hmmm not really. Though. Well you can buy characters... and if you don't buy them you can play a random few heroes for free. So you basically pay for the right to use a hero whenever you want.[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"]Wow 2 weapons that probably suck... time to OVER REACT!!!!!!McStrongfastYou are defending the prospect of exclusive multiplayer abilities.

With that kind of attitude we will soon be paying for bullets. If we just accept anything these devs/pubs do then they are going to keep getting worse. Oh well just will have to follow the trends.[QUOTE="noxboxlive"][QUOTE="commonfate"]

I absolutely agree. The online sucks to no end.BC2 had so little content this doesn't really surprise me. What's worse is the content BC2 had was lacking in polish, which is ridiculous. I don't think DICE has what it takes to put out a quality product, at least not under EA.

ur a baws. Seriously, EA & DICE better not keep doing annoying crap like this !!This practice is appalling and it is hurting gaming.
There is a thread on this over at Reddit and it is top of the subforum (with 540,000 viewers).
I contacted EA Support telling them about the outrage this is causing in their loyal community and how it will negatively impact their sales to market this way. The woman I spoke to is forwarding the link and my message to their senior management and I should be hearing from them in the next couple days.

It's funny, I remember when the Witcher 2 devs said it will only support 16:9 monitors, everything else will have the black bars around the image, people were going mad and saying they are cancelling pre-orders... the game sold very well.This practice is appalling and it is hurting gaming.

Fair enough. Yelling and acting like a knob is more likely to see you ignored. Communicating your points in a cordial and legible manner is preferable. Still, a big enough rabble will get the general message through.
At the end of the day I don't think it matters either way as EA doesn't care what you think.

Well we are the customers and constrictive criticism has never worked in the past with EA and it wont work now. I remember Bad Company had the same thing and we had to moan before they released the gun for everyone.[QUOTE="Upparoom"]
