[quote=DonFck]In my personal opinion, I'd rather buy a disk/set of disks for 50, that being my only investment in a game. 

The catch here is that a player can boost  his/her performance on the battlefield by purchasing add-ons to the characters.
[quote=Article]Players can pay not only for decorative items like shoes and jerseys but also for boosts in their players speed, agility and accuracy. Mr. Florin said that while most users do not buy anything, a sizable minority ends up spending $15 to $20 a month.[/quote]
So you've got a small group of people running around in funny clothes pwning and boomheadshotting you because they decided to spend money on pixels? Personally, I'd rather spend my money on rl-items.

Of course, a certain "added value" was implemented in BF2 also, by allowing SF-unlocks to be used in vanilla, although this could be gotten around by playing a few rounds of SF on a friends disk (which I did).

Sure, I'll try it, but I'll be damned if I spend any money on something that won't even get me a disk packaged in a plastic box with a booklet.

EA might strike gold on this one, though. Especially if they make the add-ons accessible to kids by E.g. buying codes from a 7-11 in the form of Pokeman-style trading card-packages with chewing gum with a taste that disappears faster than the consumers weekly allowance money.[/quote]]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Looks like TF2, but with tanks and shizzle.

Paying for upgrades? Well, since it's free and you don't actually [i]have to[/i] buy anything. I guess, if you were sensible, you'd only buy stuff that improved gameplay, rather than outfits and stuff.

Looks like EA are going to make a lot of money out of this. People will undoubtedly spend as much if not more than a normal game would cost.

Looks like a pretty cool game though.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote]EA just announced a new game coming out this Summer that is a different version of Battlefield. It will be a free download with cartoon like characters. Each map will be a smaller short experience lasting about 10-15 min. You will be able to buy small add ons to the characters such as new models, clothing, guns and the such. EA is calling them micro-transactions.

My opinions are as such. 

A cartoon like Battlefield with a touch of TF2 in a smaller 10-15min battlefield experience. Add some of that trade card feel with mini-transactions and buying extra weapons and models and given that it's a free download to begin with... I can see people giving it a try and actually playing it.  Since it's cartoon like you can't really expect anyone to be serious while playing it. So with that mindset I wouldn't care that there are a team of nothing but snipers. Who cares? It's a cartoon. Cartoon Death Match (CDM)
