Natty, message by message you sound more and more like Comical Ali. "Who would play on those severs".... hmm, I dunno, maybe those hundreds of players already playing there who want 200+ player action when that is clearly supported by the game even without extensive hacking like in BF2's case. (That the crack also acts as a mini-reality mod by removing the HUD is a lulzy bonus.) "Impossible to crack", yeah sure. All such copy protection schemes have been broken, sometimes in a matter of hours.
What EA is going to have is a split community. The other enjoys 200+ player matches with those silly unlocks already opened, perhaps with reality mods, and without the most awkward thing since when, ie. Origin. The rest can have their bunnyhopping consolefest with bundled malware for all I care. Too bad that EA/DICE had the chance to serve both crowds, it would have just been a matter of adding those settings into the retail version (at the cost of making a server unranked), but decided not to. Oh well. It just makes me sad that the average age of a video game player is nowadays closer to 40 years, yet the games themselves are aimed at immature 12-year olds.
I might be bothered to download the game if hacked servers, unlocks and reality minimods really do become availalble. And I do not feel the slightest bit of guilt: had those been available as official options, I could have bought it.
