Doesn't matter if they make money from premium etc what matters is the ridiculous premium only server setting even when people have the maps.
It makes no sense and is detrimental to the game. Even for EA it was a stupid idea.
Exactly!
I have the B2k and AM maps but yet can't play on that server because I am not "premium"
I paid for those maps and the base game, therefore I should be able to play on that server.....
Although TBF, it is also the server owners fault too since they can enable/disable that option......
premium could be bought from cd key website for like 18 euro or something. just suck it up and pay it once, yeh went from a bf3 hater to a bf3 lover it seems. it makes no nense buying the dlc's seperate anyway.
No point now since BF 4 will be out relatively soon with the beta in September and for me it is more the principle
The only DLC I have bought has been AM, which was for a decent price, £7 iirc, although sort of regret buying it now as there are very few servers that have my preferred game mode, player count etc.
Got B2k with BF 3 and CQ for free.
No interest in armoured kill due to it being more vehicle orientated
and end game looks pretty poor imo.
And everything else that premium brings doesn't interest me at all.
Not a BF 3 hater (the game itself is great but it just had so much more potential), more of a DICE/EA hater
due to their lies, manipulating announcements/tweets, wasting time fixing/tweaking stuff that didn't need to be touched in the first place when they could have spent that time fixing/improving the other far more important (IMO) stuff like the colours, suppression system, UI for PC, premium nonsense etc.
