| | | Battlefield: Bad Company Weapons Pay-To-Play?
Have a look at what one beta tester found while digging into the Battlefield: Bad Company weapons unlock screen on his XBox360. Quote:
When glancing through the multiplayer beta for Electronic Arts' upcoming Xbox 360 shooter Battlefield: Bad Company last night I noticed something odd in the title's "Unlocks" section: Ten of the unlockable weapons are tagged with notes saying "Buy this weapon on Xbox Live Marketplace."
According to the statistics graph, the for-cash weaponry doesn't seem to be more any powerful than the other high-end guns. But the beta won't be playable until later this month, so we can't be sure.

| | | Yeah but Battlefield 2: SF & Battefield 2142 added unlocks for the most part; and people were more than willing to fork out cash for those...

| | Dude the VSS was the most reviled addition to BF1942 Desert Combat. It was so accurate, so powerful, and so cheap.
Huge Saiga whore here.

| | | They can't honestly charge that much.
NOTE: I said honestly. EA isn't really an honest company, though. |

| | Ea's response...
<sarcasm>I sure feel better now that they cleared that up  </sarcasm> Quote:
The publisher states that five of the DLC weapons in its upcoming FPS will be "free," and the other five will be bundled with the game's "Gold Edition." For gamers who don't want to buy the "Gold Edition," the weapons will be available to purchase through PSN and XBM
