Why don't you kids go back to Modern Welfare 3 and let the grownups bask in the glory of a low-res, down-scaled version of a normal resolution video trailer that you can find in HD on YouTube but have to use a random videoplayer that is on-par if not worse than aids--I mean, RealPlayer on Dtoid?

preach on brother, god knows why they use shitty springboard which doesnt even work half the time on mobile devices. i dunno, maybe the get paid or their d***s sucked if they use springboard.
i mean, that HAS to be it, cuz no one in their right mind would show their friends THIS shit over a 720p+ vid on youtube.

well at least im known for something. and id rather that something being gamers "rights" than jimmyx nonsense. its cool that u think i might be whining bro, especially when im mostly just trying to look to the future of gaming and maybe change the mind of one or two people as far as your wallet is concerned.
its weird. its like people dont mind splitting up an online game into a community of haves and have nots. especially when that status is attained through monetary means and not gameplay ones.
legitimate expansion packs, i get. theres content in there. watching someone pay for a map thats more than 5 years old with a coat of paint on it that the mod community can (and im sure already HAS) do for free, and a map that was finished before the game was finished is kinda like watching someone buy snake oil.
i mean, i get it. if you wanna buy snake oil, and you feel entitled to do so and to tell me to shut the fuck up about it, i guess go ahead and do so. just dont think for a second that they arent selling and that people arent buying what equates to small chunks of the game that were intentionally left out to sell later.

Geez, how many trailers does a map pack need? (I could be wrong since I don't know exactly how many trailers they put out. But this is the appropriate forum for uninformed opinion, right?)
@tekbunny
Extra money?? What extra money? People who bought the game when it first came out get the packs for free. Hell, I still see Limited Edition games on sale at Gamestop today. So you still can get it free.
Unless things are different outside of the US, you realize that the Limited Edition did not cost extra at all? That if you bought the game when it launched EVERYONE got the Limited Edition.
If you waited and you can no longer get the map packs for free, then that is on you. You missed the promotion. Exactly how is this something you think you should complain about? My guess is, your just an entitled idiot who thinks everyone should get everything for free.

"legitimate expansion packs, i get. theres content in there. watching someone pay for a map thats more than 5 years "
Ummmmmm. You realize that it's not just a maps right? Please tell me you know this and you are not just being dumb. Yes it comes with maps, but it also comes with
10 new weapons
3 new vehicles
New customization options ( 8 camo's and 10 dogtags )
So what's your point? If this is something you don't think is worth it, ummmm don't buy it. 97% of the people who own BF3 will be getting it for free anyone. Sounds like a good deal to me.

@tek Just shut up. You're not standing up for anybody's "rights", you're just whining. You're acting like games NEED a cohesive community. They don't, we play the game to kill each other, not to talk about how similar our opinions are.
Tell me how somebody is getting screwed by getting maps for free if they buy the game early? As a gamer, I'd much rather get something for free if I buy the game early than some company pull a Nintendo 3DS and drop the price, or some crap like directv, giving out NFL Sunday ticket to new subscribers.
Get over yourself, you are known for something on the destructoid forums; you whine constantly.

You absolutely did NOT have to preorder. Just today a plethora of the "limited" edition remained available for purchase at my local walmart. Mine was purchased locally about a week after release. While they may have stated that it was for preorders only, that has not been the reality of it. They seem to be following in BC2's footsteps, where all new sales get the dlc free. Is this not the case elsewhere? I mean I haven't even seen a copy that wasn't limited.
Meh.. Fix problems first release the crap pack after.
I lawled at all the kids play mw3 and the big boys / adults play bf3 comments.. Seriously stfu already. This game lacks any online coop dealing with objectives in most cases. I honestly don't give a rats ass about bf3 vs mw3, I didn't get the limited edition because as it turns out where I bought the game must have been the only place to get a limited number of copies.
That being said, I think I may pass on the pack..as it turns out this game isn't what I thought it was going to be and the rest of my squad feels the same and has decided to move on...

@Ark, sorry for your loss
Me and my squads are enjoying the fuck out of Battlefield 3. It is a great game if you take your head out of your ass to play it.

Definitely 60fps. I thought it looked way too good to be the console version. After playing it on 360, you can DEFINITELY tell the difference now.

Another paid map pack?! Fuck this EA you suck balls!!! Hope you assholes destroy your online community and lose money out the ass! This is just like COD. Go take your new maps and shove 'em!
*looks, sees I have the limited edition*
Fuck yeah, new maps!

I may buy Battlefield 3 on black friday while trying to grab a new xbox. I've never owned a military shooter, but have played some at my friend's house.
Tekbunny wins this weeks troll award. Seeing as nobody else has been able to get such a reaction out of everyone..
@tekbunny
Fun fact: As of this writing, every copy of the game available, at least the store I work at, is the Limited Edition. Which comes with the maps for free. It's been that way since the game came out. Judging by the number of copies in stock, I'm sure that's not going to change any time soon.
There is no splintering of the community with this. There is no haves and have nots here. And there damn sure isn't a reason to "stand up for gamer's rights" over this either. EVERYBODY can get this pack for free just by buying the game. Why you would want to complain about that, I don't know.
(Also, it's not preying on nostalgia if the fans actually want it, just saying.)
(Also also, if you want to stand up for gamer's rights or whatever you call it, talk about something that is a problem. Like online passes, or day one server failures, or that one time a 12 year old called you a foul name over the internet.)
(Also also also, I like your avatar.)
