Then buy the other 3 DLC seperate and save ?4.03p?

If the other three turn out to be good. Ever since EA bought DICE, I've been skeptical of the quality of whatever they put out. That is why I'm hesitant at dropping 50 on future content when we don't know the quality.

That is just me.

I paid $60 for a game that up until two months ago was broken, and now they want more money? No. Sorry. Isn't happening.

Personally I think a one time price for 5 expansion packs is a pretty good deal. I am getting sick of this "two weeks console exclusivity" crap though.

Good news about the F35.. I'm a big fan of the air vehicles but whenever it came to being US on a map with the F35, I'd just give up because it was such an easy target! I look forward to trying this update.

lol $50. If thats ?49.99 they can suck my balls.

Just logged into PSN, its ?39.99 on PSN Store, should be a bit cheaper for PC, thats ok.

It's the same on PC, which is a bit of a joke to be honest. But it's difficult because it still ends up cheaper than buying all the DLC separately, even if it is more expensive than other territories :/

Once again creating a power void for those that don't wish to throw money into a bottomless pit. Thanks, Battlefield.

DLCs have killed gaming. You pay $60 for a game that barely worked, had to wait until March of this year for a fix that made the game better to play, and now they want us to pay MORE money just to keep a fair advantage with your peers.

I'm certainly not asking for this stuff to be free, but all of this is just too much money. I'm done. The DLC has killed gaming. I'm sorry, but this is just rediculous.

I somewhat agree with you. I was fine with giving people unique skins for their weapons and outfits and dog tags. But the priority queue thing is total bull****. You shouldn't have to pay extra money just to get into a server.

So let me get this straight... EA wants me to buy Premium on the bases of not knowing what it is I'm buying...

I saw about 2 seconds on Armoured Kill, and the other 2 expansions aren't even shown, let alone told what they are... Multiplayer expansions?

http://battlelog.bat...om/bf3/premium/ all MP updates, 4 new maps in each, weapons, vehicles etc...

lol $50. If thats ?49.99 they can suck my balls.

Just logged into PSN, its ?39.99 on PSN Store, should be a bit cheaper for PC, thats ok.

I'm not sure why people are banding around ?40/50 price tags...its 4000 MS points which you can easily get for around ?30 http://www.live-code.../prod.php?id=28 even from MS themselves its only ?34

if its more on PS3/PC, then I'm glad I have a 360.

So if Microsoft said "Buy Windows 9 now, it comes with a start menu, Internet Explorer, custom desktop wallpaper and a recycle bin" you would buy it in advanced?

Depends on the price/discount, but I've had every version of windows since 95 (except ME/2000...lets not go there) so yes I will most likely get 8 and 9 and 10 and so on (especially if there is a discount for pre-ordering)...I'm a windows user.

I'm also a BF player, had every game (except BC1) and nearly every expansion...so pre ordering to save money would seem to make sense..especially when its only ?30 or so.

This is nothing more than EA getting people to buy the game again, after already paying for it once. Worse, this is pretty much a "God Mode" and if you don't have this, the game is useless to you now, because it puts you at such a disadvantage. :crazy:

How does it put you at a disadvantage exactly? If you suck at the game, you still suck even if you spend $49

How? It doesn't make you take less damage or do more damage. It's just more gun variety and map variety. And you can get the same guns and maps by not buying the Premium (minus exclusive skins). As I said before the only reason a person should have issues with "premium" is for the server queue priority. But apparently server owners can turn that off so it's not a huge issue.

Also you can unlock the guns at rank 1 if you do the assignments so you don't even need to be a high rank to use them.

    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
