I’m a sucker so I’ll be getting it
I guess if i was playing i would probably pay the fees and indulge in the early content, i remember getting all the expansion packs for BF42 and had i been given the choice of paying a one off payment to give me the packs then i would have gone for that.
Having read what youget through this it seems a bit more than the vanity type product I initially assumed it would be. The money off the expansions is worth it alone and it seems you get queue priority on servers, which is controversial, but the rest seems ok given I would be getting the other packs regardless.

Last night I felt feeble, weak, and generally a lesser person due to being non-premium. I bought today – Feeling better now.

good man!
You know you can reset your stats now ben?
Maybe something that might clinch the deal for paddy as well…..after the summer of course.
Saddens me that they bothered to add this after activison started it with cod and did not even bother to offer a deal that is worth he same.
Cod is giving expansion a month for 12 months for free for the same price as ea are giving 5 away 🙁
And i fing hate activison and would love nothing better than ea screwing them but no they have to disappoint!!!Aye but you get all the ‘expansions’ with it…charging for them is a different matter, but lets face it, pc developer’s have been losing out to consoles for a few years and a lot of that is down to dlc. Unfortunately with console masses mostly new to the internet they allowed themselves firstly to get ring fenced by restrictive pay to play models and accepted dlc payments as the norm. Add to that 10 million wow subscribers paying for regular expansions, and I suppose the success of other mmorgs and you have to eventually realise people are willing to pay quite a lot for online hobbies.
Not really excusing it, but our free ride can’t last forever, and i’ll be quite happy with this investment given the product’s quality to date. The old ea are money grabbing bastards aegument comes to mind, but everyone’s at it, and if you don’t keep your revenue up you’ll lose staff eventually and then we’ll spend the next five years grumbling over the continued dominance of cod and it’s simplistic multiplayer.

The only reason there is hardcore in bf3 is to appease the cod masses they’re trying to attract. Bf has always been an arcade war sim and hardcore goes against everything I enjoy in a normal bf experience. Sniper rule is a cod concept as well, picked up briefly by bad company 2 but restored to reasonable levels in bf3, unless on hardcore.
