More leaks, this time the cost will be an Elite-like ?35 and will launch on June 29th. The rumour is that the 5th map pack is called Aftermath.

EA have officially lost the plot:
I mean seriously ... WTH are they thinking? Its stuff like this that makes me want to give up on gaming. ?40 is too much for this, I would gladly accept a bunch of maps over time for ?20 but ?40, but wait .. it will give you 'priority' access to servers!
Did the board at EA get taken over by Activision or something??Comment

Massive fail.
Not that I'd care about K/D or queing. But still.... ?40 and a 2 finger salute to everyone that doesn't buy it...Comment

At $79.95au this is actually 95c more than I paid for the game at launch, and that included the Back to Karkand map pack.
I am astonished that they think that is a suitable price point for DLC and frivilous extras especially when they've taken a good 9 months to deliver any more DLC besides that first pack (which was planned way before launch anyway). I really, really like BF3 but honestly I am sickened by this.Comment

Whilst I understand that these DLC aren't just maps - they are actually modifications to the game - it's perhaps the wrong way to go. All people want are new maps and bug/balance fixes, which would be much quicker and cheaper to develop. We should have seen more than 1 DLC already tbh. This is all too late and too expensive.Last edited by charlesr; 01-06-2012, 06:44.Comment

Obviously NSFW and a cheeky(!) photoshop.Comment

For me its actually not that bad money wise ...
Its 4000 MS points which is roughly ?32, however I managed to get some cheap points from the Microsoft store about a month or so ago when they were on special offer. I got 4200 points for ?26, so this would only cost me ?24 which is a lot more reasonable than ?40, thats about ?6 an expansion. That's not unreasonable in my opinion.
Still not happy that EA / DICE have backtracked on this though, after saying they would never charge people for this.Comment

It's well cheeky that they are including Back To Karkard in the "purchased individually" comparison on this.... Anyone intereted in buying all the DLC will have already bought Back to Karkard.
PC prices:
Back to Karkand $15
Close Quarters $15
Armored Kill $15
Aftermath $15
End Game $15
Total $75 / ?48
Premium: ?39.99 saving ?18.
Except anyone that has already paid for Back to Karkand is saving ?8. Whoopdedo.Comment

I only paid ?22 for the LTD Edition, which included Karkand for free. It's 5000? for Premium for me, so I'm prolly gonna get it later today. It seems pointless if bought before after Close Quarters, as another 1500? "wasted". I'll get the DLC today too this way, where everyone else has to wait two weeks. ?65 all-in isn't so bad.
I took the ACR-W and the ACR-W Proficiency dog tag from a player around two weeks ago. When I searched him on Battlelog, apparently he doesn't exist. Odd.Kept you waiting, huh?Comment

Didn't understand this,Originally posted by charlesr View Post
?48 separate - ?40 points = ?8 saving? where does the ?18 come in?Comment
-
Im just updating BF3 to 1.05, but before that i went into the store and it was 39.99,and it said that you should download the premium from the store in the game and not from PSN or you would be charged twice.Comment

Hmm. I can't add up. 48 -39.99 is not ?18 is itOriginally posted by Kaido View Post
So erm I'll try again.
On PC Premium sets you back ?40. They are saying if you bought that list separately it would cost you ?48. So you are saving ?8.
Except that everyone will have bought Karkand already or got it for free, so the list actually costs ~?39 (take away the $15). So it's better to buy them separately??Comment
-
If you buy them seperately, you only get the DLC, and not the extras that Premium members get. The new knife, dog tags and camos etc.
You can pretend the extra cost is paying for that stuff
Kept you waiting, huh?Comment
