EXCLUSIVE: Battlefield 3 Players Petition Against August Premium Content “Drop”

Players not happy with the extras DICE are providing.

OVER 1130 players have signed an online petition asking both DICE, the development studio behind the Battlefield franchise, and Electronic Arts opposing the August Premium Content Drop, deeming it insignificant.

The antipodal stance for the August drop, which contains a premium video showcasing Armored Kill, the upcoming expansion pack for Battlefield 3, as well as a digital artwork book and  a premium competition, is loud in the comments for the August drop announcement on Battlelog.

"This is suck (sic)," one Battlelog user, iCentipede, comments on the announcement, "I wish I didn't buy premium I have been waiting all this month for a video and a booklet your kidding me right DICE ? (sic) I expected a camo for the rest of the weapons."

Battlefield 3's Premium services provides purchasers access to all Expansion Packs for the game already released and coming in the future and 2 weeks earlier than the general public who purchase the content à-la-carte.

The petition, started by Karl Klatt of Canada, asks for EA and DICE to "rectify the situation for the Premium users who have spent quite alot (sic) of money on the Battlefield 3 series" and has over 1000 signatures. The petition asks for 1500. At this rate, the petition might just get there.

UPDATE: A spokesperson for EA Australia has responded and said that there are no comments to provide at this stage.

Do you think those opposed to the content drop are justified? Let us know in the comments below.

    my gamertag is Exojet, I am a premium member and I would be more than happy to sign the petition – its ridiculous its nothing special, maybe if the artwork book was sent to our addresses not online for anyone to have or a video anyone can watch not just premium users, its damn right out of order !

    this is the petition? the problem is premium is too much money. it should be $20 USD but it is about $50 USD… its like, would you like a brand new game, or a few maps ( half of which are bound to suck)

    your background behind the text , looks cool but makes the text harder to read, as well as distracting.

      Hi Eddie,

      Thanks for your comment. We’re aware of this issue. The temporary fix for the moment is to maximize browsers on a 1920×1080 resolution. Sorry about that, but rest assured we are aware of the problem.

      Thanks!

    anyone else remember when an expansion pack was basically the same as what premium is except it was $30 and had more maps, and if the game was single player oriented about a dozen single player missions.

    I guess they’re too busy working on BF4. : /

    People are never happy. Premium was to get all the dlc for a bundled price. Or if u already have one then it’s a one time purchase. And we already get priority wait list, two week advanced dlc, a bunch of double xp events and everything else we get is just a bonus. Dice shouldn’t change anything because of 1000 players. The vast majority of us are appreciative. Thank you dice.
