[QUOTE="danish-death"] 1. We just had this discussion yesterday - old news. 2. EA themselves have said that the physical warfare won't be imbalancing the game. So there is o "unfiar" advantage, just more variety for people who preorder.IndianaPwns39
With all due respect to the good people in EA's PR department, giving one set of players access to a wider selection of weapons that another set is inherently unbalancing.
These include the "Type 88 light machine gun with bipod for superior firepower and total zone control, the SKS sniper rifle flash suppressor that provides increased stealth abilities for Recon soldiers, and the lethal armour-piercing flechette ammo for the DAO-12 semi-automatic shotgun that is sure to tear through anything in its path. Also included is day one access to the highly versatile DAO-12 semi-automatic shotgun itself."
That being said, I doubt the issue resonates with many gamers. Most multiplayer gamers don't care about balance (if they did, CoD with all of its killstreaks and unlockables, wouldn't be massively popular).
Of course they're going to make the weapons sound awesome though. What else would they say? "Preorder Battlefield 3 and get exclusive access to the Type 88 LMG. Which, isn't really that great compared to the M60 or RPK that you'll unlock later on, but hey, it looks cool and not everyone else can get it right?"
I seriously doubt there are going to be any issues with balancing, and if there are Dice will probably just patch it later on (Bad Company 2 M60 anyone?).
I am against the idea of holding back content just to get more preorders, but at the same time I already have this preordered so yeah...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
