Battlefield Bad Company: No extra charge for weapons

In a interview with Karl-Magnus Troedsson, Senior Producer at DICE IGN reports the following:

Quote:

So just so every single one of our readers is clear on what they'll need to do to get every single weapon in Battlefield: Bad Company, here's a quick summary. The Gold Edition, priced at $69.99, will have five weapons not seen in the launch disc in the Standard Edition. Those who purchased the Standard Edition can unlock these guns by reaching the level cap of 25. Both Gold Edition and Standard Edition users will have to participate in five separate EA marketing programs (no purchase necessary, we're told it will be easy as signing up for a newsletter), each of which will have one weapon.

I'm sure you remember the petition that was reported recently. So I guess EA might be listening just a little bit. Even if they wont admit they were planning on charging for unlocks.

boooo. Well, I do have a 360. It may be time to blow the dust off of it when this comes out.

I've been playing in the Beta and I will say it is fun.

I'm glad they did some listening to the people.
Charging real money for items/weapons is stupid and greedy.

This is just a long overdue April Foolz from EA.

Everyone knows they are heartless money grubbing basterds

Too bad it's not for PC, are they still charging for other things like explosions or something?
