This makes perfect sense. If people are lining up to rent servers, I'm pretty sure many will line up for this as well. I'm surprised it took EA this long.

Hahaha! Oh wow! Strange I don't give a damn about this game since December.

So...I guess Battlefield 3 will definitely be my last Battlefield. Sorry Dice, your games are published by EA, so no Dice.
Many will buy it and other publishers will do this crap.

And a fucking knife?
If this shit gives those who pay an unreasonable edge over those who don't well than fuck EA, and fuck Dice for going along with it.
Imagine it now; golden Ak47 with the power of the unnerfed usas12 frag rounds and the dart...

Jesus, I'm not even mad at EA anymore I'm just disappointed. I have to agree with what you said on the last podtoid Jim, they had the world handed to them on a silver platter, and what did EA do? they zipped down their fly, wipped out their knob and pissed in our faces, then as we were wiping the piss off, they shot one off in our eye. way to go EA, you made Activision look like a fucking saint.
Lol I love how EA tries to copy the COD Elite business strategy and they somehow manage to completely fail at it. You don't put fucking items and weapons behind a pay wall. You actually put time and money into developing original, quality content that people would get and think they got their moneys worth with their subscription.
You can hate on COD all you want, but Elite has been more than worth the money for anyone who plays regularly. In half a year, MW3 has gotten 15 pieces of new content, either multiplayer maps or Spec Ops missions. On top of the actual Elite features. That's more content than they've ever put out for a COD game in that period of time before. THIS is not how you replicate that success.

The thing that struck me was the weapon camos. Which was never in BF3 to begin with. Not too sure about the knife and dog tags, but everything else seems interesting and I want to know more.
@ckyle
Funny thing there buddy is that from the way you describe the issue at hand, you show all the insight into this "cool kids" theory I would expect of a child. Lacking an understanding of the issues at large challenging the gaming industry and the ramifications of actions such as these is certainly not going to end with you educating us on conformity.
Pathetic, 0/10

I guess I'm not surprised...
Things like this make it easier and easier to stop caring about these big shooters and go and play something with less strings attached; even though I'm a BF fan and wonder what it all means for the direction of the series.
I don't pay for any of these services and probably wont. It hasn't been a huge problem to this point, but its definitely unnerving.
@npa189, yah i agree too. It's sad to see all the copycat, money grabbing they do.

First the "re-balancing", then the rental servers with no dedicated servers, now this... EA is certainly trying hard to put the final nails in Battlefield's coffin. I don't understand why their trying so hard to copy Call of Duty. If I wanted to play CoD, I would have bought that instead of Battlefield. At least they only got me for the first $60 and I haven't bought into anything else.
I bought battlefield for the exact reason that I appose this kind of shit. I traded it I'n a couple weeks ago so someone can buy it used and regret nothing
My once favorite game, my once favorite series, and the best multiplayer experience of my life in gaming is gone. The Battlefield 3 that exists now is putrid horse shit. The implementation of a new pay service on top of what is there now as well... fuck this game, EA, and Dice, both of you can suck a constipated goats dick.
I am never buying another DICE or EA game ever again unless it is used.
The elimination of the dice and ea servers so users are forced to play shitty custom servers, and now a pay service.. This is like getting dual-fisted when you were expecting maybe a handshake.
Get lost Dice, and EA.

If BF3 does this shit, I am done playing it then because call of duty is just money maker with no fun content and that's why I stopped playing it!
how much more money do they want from us, they are milking this game so much, granted it is a good game but all this is putting me off battlefield
I left call of duty because of this (and it got boring) but now EA wants to fuck it up.... Oh well I guess I'll start playing my old fallouts again.
@Duhjeenyus - I was gonna post some standard, shitty comment about this whole mess and woe is gaming and all that crap, but then I read your comment and actually laughed out loud, at my desk, like a right tit.
Strong work mate.
But seriously, what the fuck did you people expect from a game that was blatantly just EA trying to cash in on the MW3 market?

I'll bite. Only because BF3 is all I play now. I've barely started Witcher 2 because of BF.
And the paying for camo was in Bad Company 2, so don't act surprised.

I was already pissed at what they removed from Bad Company 2 and turned into the online portal of BF3's Battlelog, but this shit is ridiculous.
What EA doesn't understand is that the CoD model is successful because Elite is adding content. It is possible to have the full CoD experience within the purchased game without ever using Elite. Battlelog has stat tracking and functionality that was removed from the game to make Battlelog worthwhile, which sucks for the consumer.
After the shitty double XP weekend which I tried taking part in but which NO game I played resulted in double XP, I am confident EA does not know how to make a quality user experience anymore. Ironically, I applied for a position at EA in their User Experience Research division. It's a big goal of mine to erase these practices in the industry.

MORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE MONEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
God, I fucking hate publishers these days. Stick it up your greedy rectums, shit heads.

DICE can go fuck themselves, I used to love Battlefield's customizability with all of the ingenious mods and user made maps that would be released along with the game tools that said studio would graciously release.
Yet we've moved on into an era where DICE has derided it's fans as too 'stupid' to be able to mod for their latest engine when the reality is they just want to bleed you dry for shite DLC. A new knife skin everyone! How exciting!
That DICE don't release mod tools? Fine, but to join in with the gouging of their customers with rubbish DLC content instead?
It's just a shame, a crying shame to see the industry in this form.

Totally not surprised, it's EA in the end, they exist to cause only damage.
