Wow, an Internet boycott actually worked! Thanks to the folks atSarcastic Gamerand the voice of the Internets, EA willnot be charging for weaponsinBattlefield: Bad Company. Yes, a giant corporation actually listened to the public outcry and have opted for a different method in giving people these five extra guns. Now, instead of paying, people that want the extra guns will have to complete variousmarketinggimmickscampaigns:
All that sounds fine except the whole Pre-order bit. I rarely ever pre-order a game. Especially with a title like this, which I wouldn’t expect to sell out.
IGN alsogot some clarification to the difference between theGold Editionweapons. They talked to Karl-Magnus Troedsson, Senior Producer onBattlefieldand he explained that people who get the regular version of the game will still be able to unlock the five extraGold Editionweapons after reaching the level cap of level 25.
And yes, this is totally Slowbro-ed here but we’re still getting tips about boycotting the game so hopefully that stops now. Plus, I can take this time to ask you all if you have any questions in regards toBattlefield: Bad Company. I’m going to be playing the game when I visit EA this Friday and I’ll have the opportunity to interview a producer from the game. So if you have any questions, leave them in the comments and I’ll be sure to ask it.
