    EA Clarifies Battlefield Pay-to-Play Weaponry



    Today, EA has clarified reports of pay-to-play weaponry in the upcoming release of EA DICE's Battlefield: Bad Company (PS3, X360). Check it out:
    "Battlefield: Bad Company will release five unique weapons free of charge through five different promotional programs prior to launch," the rep noted. "EA will again make these weapons available to players free of charge after launch, in case anyone missed the pre-launch promotions."

    "All weapons are balanced for gameplay," they added. "More weapons offer players more choices but do not create an advantage/disadvantage for players who do not opt to buy new items."

                                  Sounds like it's turning into a pay to play scheme more and more. I really hope BF3 will not be like this.

                                          Activision has talked about doing it that way, now EA is starting to do it this way... Seems every game is turning into a Pay to Play where if you want specific items or even just play online, you need to pay for it/monthly
