Battlefield3: Unique in-game content – Soldier Upgrade for Premium players

Battlefield Battlelog writes:

"We’re happy to announce that a new range of soldier upgrades are now available to Premium members’.

For Premium players, this means that you will receive two new Camos (One per faction), as well as new assignments." (Battlefield 3, PC, PS3, Xbox 360)

If this starts going the way of new weapons for premium players only, I am not going to be happy. I care little about missing out on camos and double xp, or even having to wait a couple weeks for the maps, but if I start missing out on anything substantial simply for not going for premium . . .

I don't like the idea of pre-ordering maps I haven't yet seen. It seems pretty idiotic to me. If it's a good map pack, I'll probably buy it. I like Battlefield 3 and don't mind paying extra to add to the experience. If I don't like what I see from a certain map pack, however, I'll probably pass on it. I shouldn't be penalized simply for being smart with my money.

This is purely hypothetical, mind you. Nothing like this has popped up yet. Just saying that I can see this being abused a bit down the road.

agreed,
if they had even gave a proper deal/discount with buying Premium VS buying them separately, i may of even picked premium up, but all your paying for is early access and double xp weeks(hopefully no weapons), complete bs

if they start giving exclusive weapons or "perks" to premium members youll see a big drop in people playing bf3.

EA are a crowd of wankers

You get a $30 discount if you don't have karkland and $15 if you do so you save either way
Do your research before you post stupid comments

DLC,Exclusive content, etc...all this is nothing new either pay or don't pay...Whining is going to help because it is not going away
SlapHappyJesus  +   319d ago
Arguable.

I am still paying for the content that I want. All this is is a service that asks for the money up front. Is it too much to ask to know about what I am paying for before they already have my cash, and not expect to be penalized for it?

As I said, I don't mind how they are handling it right now. If it starts getting to the point where they basically want to turn the Battlefield series into a $120 release without knowing what is coming with that extra $60, well, that's idiotic in my opinion. Especially if they start really penalizing players who don't go along with this sort of service.

It's not whining, mind you. There is a difference between stating concerns about something and whining. Again, it's me being smart about what I do with my cash. I don't view blindly spending decent chunks of cash on a product I know little to nothing about.

I don't think they'll add guns to premium only. Not even the Premium members like myself would like that. It'd be a poor decision and would bite them. I personally don't like getting the content early and having exclusive things like camo. I'd be fine with this just being a pure season pass.

The pre-ordering the maps for people like me comes down to 2 things. Trust in the developer, and the fact that I wouldn't really know if I like the maps till I play them anyway, which means I'd still have to buy them.

Suck it up and become part of the premium master race.
Hope I get new weapons to rub in your face.

If you are dumb enough to throw cash at something which you don't even know what it is, more power to you.

I am up for supporting developers that provide me worthwhile experiences. I am not dumb enough to give them money on blind faith. Apparently some are.
yoyo12121  +   312d ago
It's not dumb
It's trust and so far they've never let us down so I have faith that the maps will be amassing
And if COD were to do this I wouldn't trust them because there maps are crap at its best

Hope they keep this up im all for the camos etc but this added stuff to do keeps me going i love this :).
SJPFTW  +   319d ago
disappointing. how bout camos for other guns huh dice?
swishersweets20031  +   319d ago
They set the bar last time with the last soldier upgrade that included all this, tags, gun camo, 2 skins and assignments, new weapon.

Well no new tags, same guns as last time get new skins-big let down-, no new weapon.

on the next soldier upgrade i'll be seriously pissed if its the same 4 guns again with camo, no new weapon, or no new tags.
SillyBastid  +   319d ago
its just a soldier upgrade, not an expansion pack. The expansion packs are the DLC with new weapons/vehicles/maps.

The next one is Armored Kill, this is when you will see the real new content.
Pekolie  +   319d ago
btw there is the bonus contents drop and i have no idea what will be in that. I think it comes out in august so wait and see what happens with that.
Hufandpuf  +   319d ago
I hate the pecheneg, the other guns are cool tho, but I want some camo for other guns too.
