I hear BF1 will have micro transactions and will charge people for some maps. Your thoughts? ---

You have a source for that? All we have are a couple of interviews and the trailer. I hope you’re wrong, honestly. Microtransactions have been the bane of shooters. If its only cosmetic, I don’t care, but maps and weapons should be in the game on day one. ---

Usually more maps are released later. A certain amount on day one. But they dedicate extra time after release to make more maps. They don’t make themselves. Even if it’ different team making them, they aren’t on the same timeline as the release date. But I thought I heard them mention the opposite. That they would release free content like maps. Hard to believe but they still could make micro transactions with battlepacks and stuff like that ---

Especially if the battle packs have weapons and vehicles like some people have stated. ---

it will be the same as bf3 and bf4, transations for cosmetics and premium for map packs. This is my thoughts because on the release bundles you can get now which have the extra bits in the “Red Barron pack” etc these are cosmetic skins nothing that will give you an edge. A few youtubers have hinted that this is pretty much set and it wont be pay to get a weapon no one else can get in game. Again pretty sure Dice/EA understand this, they are changing up BF lots but it still follows the same basic rules in there business model ---

I’m guessing that there will be weapon skins you can buy, possibly soldier cosmetics… More than likely alternative melee weapons. All you really need to do is look at the pre-order bonuses. “Hellfighter pack” that includes themed items from their regiment “Red Baron and Lawrance of Arabia” also to include “themed items” Battle packs are also making a return according to the pre order page on XB1 as the pre orde includes 5. So we can probably buy those again It also says “exchanges the visual appearance of three of the largest vehicles” not entirely sure what that means reall but it sounds like vehicle skins will be in the game. I’m not a fan of micro transactions in these games to be honest, now if they said they intended on using these to support the game for 4-5 years rather than support t for 2 and drop it for the next one, I’d be 100% okay with that, but since the games are only supported for about 2-3 then dropped like hot potatoes I can only see these as cash grabs
