QUOTE
The Stimulus Package launched yesterday on the Xbox 360, offering gamers five additional Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 maps for $15. Not to be outdone, DICE released VIP 2, its own free map upgrades for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and claimed it will never charge fans for new maps.

DICE Senior Producer Patrick Bach made the claim in an interview with Xbox World 360 magazine. "We don't ever want to charge for our maps and insisted to EA that this attitude was crucial when it came to keeping our community happy and playing together," Bach said. "We're owned by EA but we're still very much DICE."

basically these things cost a tonne of money to develop. you basically have 16 maps, several weapons and vehicles coming soon, which is like a new copy of a game already. i would understand why they are charging it. sometimes, these devs are working overtime just to get it out on time and by not paying for their work is like "i am just going take your veggies that would worked so hard on growing".

Wow this premium so cheap~
I just bought the bf3 for rm100 in mid May and if i want to enjoy this new map, I cannot just purchase the addon (DLC). Later they can make new stupid rm150+ for its new game expansion.


If i buy this premium (rm160 or something which got all the version), it feels like i just burn my already have BF3 game rm100. I think i just wait if they make it for DLC version instead, if they planning to do this later.

I think you're missing the point here. There is nothing wrong to charge for dlc but the fact that DICE has been consistently promoting the fact that they wont charge for extra maps over their counterpart (COD series) as shown in the source is downright hilarious when they just did with BF Premium. Sure you can argue that BFP is more worth it compared to wtv COD is ptting up, but thats an entire different topic.

DICE, like most companies out there is a hypocrite (not that everyone dont know) just by releasing that statement about MW2 and then now currently doing the same thing. laugh.gif
Again you can argue it's EA fault but either way whoever thats responsible for this franchise just took an egg to their face with such contradicting statements.

lol @ devs working overtime, it sure took them long enough to fix the M26 dart bug.

the price of the DLC includes all future DLC right? right up to aftermath?

on another note, i think putting priority queing for premium players is a bit unfair.

just checked with TSB they would have similar scratch card.. BUT the pack only available near end of June ~21 onwards ; so if you need urgently get it from EA else wait for it...

I may get from TSB since only be getting new internet @home on the 20th; if get earlier online also take days to download on 512kbps line...haha

EA logic, loyal customer who support them early will get scam. I guess they want us to buy their game after 2yrs? rclxms.gif who knows by that time everything sell @ $30 bucks.

I am not buying any shit from EA again. Feels like kena scam by them

yup...premium is just EXPANSION PACK

you can't use PREMIUM if dont have BF3

for those familiar with BF2, the premium is like the northern strike & armored fury bundled as expension pack (without the bf2)

Whether you get Premium or not you still need to download the 2GB patch now. Unless you don't plan to play BF3 until June 21.

You can use the kits if you kill the Premium player and pick up their gun.

so who has bought this BFP expansion? ever since the BFBC2 Vietnam expansion, i am quite reluctant to buy BF expansion now coz the expansion server will always be empty after few weeks, just a waste of money.

I check the BFP servers yesterday night, not many servers in Asia too.
