I'm not botheres to read 186 pages of arguments so I'm posting my question, even if there's an answer: WTF is the deal with this BF3 Premium BS?

Well, basically they want you to pay in advance for all the expansions in the future... That way you get all of them for "just" 50 $ and they get the money to make them... It's a win-win situation, right?

The only trick is that...

1. You're paying for something that simply doesn't exist (yet, or if it does they are simply milking you for cash as they could have as well included this in the original release) and

2. You don't know about half of the things that the expansions will include.

I'd only try it as a last resort, but if he can't find a solution and reinstalling doesn't fix it, what other option has he got?



Yep, that's Premium: "prepaid-DLC". Plus you get extra dogtags, soldier camos, double XP weekends, etc.

Asides from saving a few bucks on the DLC, most of the extra stuff is just for the wank-factor. (Soldier camos are shithouse. And carbon-fibre dogtags?  ::) ).



I won't play Blizzard's game but I'll play EA's, and if they burn me, well...it'll only happen once.

Battlefield 4? How about we stick with Battlefield 3 for now.

I don't know how it looks... Since I can't see s*** from all the dust clouds... However I think they got that more or less right... Sand is always a problem in desert environments.

Now all  what we need is mod tools. (And FH moving to Frostbite  :P)

Answer: milking money and the will to attract CoD players who might not be all that accustomed to vehicle warfare.

And it worked rather well...

Yep, I'll most definitely have some of that.


Finally, the real BF3 shows itself, and we get some maps with more than 5 flags.

Can't tell from the trailer but I hope the artillery has some sort of indirect fire mechanic and isn't just dumb fire and hope for the best. I would love to be able to use the soflam camera to direct artillery fire. Don't know if this is possible though.

So... yeah... bought it and the Premium as well, since it was on sale for half the price. The Premium wasn't though.

E: And it won't allow me to validate the code on origin.. FFS.

pff it's always the same with origin.

just wait a month and it will magically accept your code, or send a ticket to the support and wait a month for the reply ::)
