So saying that a game should have all DLC free when it comes out and from there-on, it an absolute load of RUBBISH…There is nothing wrong with the DLC model for the BF franchise…yes, it splits the players base because of the NEWS MAPS…yet people complain every time a new DLC comes out “Oh this is splitting the playerbase” when they were the ones asking for the damn DLC!!! Seriously, am I the only one who sees what is wrong with that? Consumers, grow the hell up and appreciate the people who slave for MONTHS to even give you the god damn content…don’t complain like a full grown Adult Toddler! It makes the community split and struggle for an absolutely ridiclous reason! The community it pretty much in tatters because of BF4’s launch and the BFH release but there is no reason for this to be happening already in BF1…The BETA isn’t even out yet, but we are already fighting amongst each other…wtf happened guys? DLC is a good thing, but the way some of the consumers are complaining about is is going to destroy it…that’s my opinion on this thing. Let me know what you guys think, and game the hell on everyone!

You need a snickers.

In seriousness, paid DLCS is what will allow BF1 to stay alive for more than 14 months.

Nope. Me either. I can literally find servers with all available maps. Server Browser really is a nice tool

It’s kind of obvious they are going to have premium with 4 paid dlc’s. If you think otherwise you are delusional. Don’t need to prove anything. It’s been like this since 2011 with Battlefield 3, why would it be any different? :#

they have only confirmed premium (i think). there is still a posibillity that maps can be free. especially considering a pre order bonus is “early access to a FREE map drop”

I agree, as someone who bought Premium in BF3 and BF4 (mostly for maps) i find it disappointing that there are almost no servers with RUSH with DLC maps

I think that making maps free would clearly help, but also that would kill Premium and DLCs as there would be no reason to get them: weapons will always be similar with what’s free otherwise game would be P2W, camos dogtags etc majority doesnt give a flying

I dont think greedy EA will ever consider releasing free maps, but we clearly need a solution because if i buy Premium i expect servers with DLC maps otherwise its useless

I also agree that they cant just give DLCs for free so soon: why should i spend money on DLCs/Premium when EA gonna release them all for free sooner than expected?

Why would they be able to sell premium if there was no paid DLC?

The maps wont be free, largely. Premium confirms it more than anything else.

I think that’s far more an issue with a player base that’s a little apathetic to non Conquest and TDM based modes. Probably because half of the rush maps post-BC2 are legitimately awfule and shoehorned into conquest boards.

and that’s just hardcore. even more on normal.

This isn’t difficult, lol.

Have you played recent EA games? They’ve been getting free DLC, not to mention that BF4 has given out its sixth free DLC…

The only bad game mode is carrier assault. And yea, they die before their prime because of this nonsense.

I really hope game modes aren’t DLC, maps will never be free during the premium support windows but new game modes should be included with game updates for all. Especially Chainlink since that mode takes a dump on domination/TDM/CQ on infantry maps for much better mechanics and scoring.

This aint a bad idea. Charge for the maps as always, but add different modes with updates. That would be excellent.

Regardless it’s that extra money that kept the game alive.
