Well I gotta say it sucks that there doing it but I've been having alot of fun in the beta on the 360.the guns I've unlocked work good and looking at the guns that cost money (or getting them by buying the gold edition), really the guns won't give you an advantage over someone else, but I guess its the point of it.

I think it's pretty stupid. If you buy a game you should be able to play it in full. you bought it for goodness sakes! I can see paying money for new stuff that comes out later.. but having stuff right off the bat that you can get if you pay additionally for it... what the heck? This isn't a new car with options.

I agree...if you're going to make me pay for upgrades, then the game should cost $7.99 or something. But I'm sure that's not going to be the cost of this one out of the chute, that you can bet on.

Koreans have been doing a lot of this with their MMOs and having a lot of success. Where they get it right is the MMO is fucking free, instead of $59.99.

Now, I know text is a very tough medium in terms of sarcasm, aided by the use of smilies and pictures.
But come on Domini, it's from a site called sarcasticgamer.com......

Just for clarification, in case anybody else is confused:

'At launch, EA will release a Gold Edition of Battlefield: Bad Company which will feature an additional five new weapons. For players who do not purchase the Gold Edition of the game, they can still buy the five weapons at a small individualized price per item. All weapons are balanced for gameplay. More weapons offer players more choices but do not create an advantage/disadvantage for players who do not opt to buy new items.'
