Hmm, not sure whether to buy it fellow Floodians. I hardly play BF3 anymore, but if I was to buy it I'd probably get back into it.

Apparently its a "Once in a lifetime opportunity", which makes me think "Damn, its only Once in a lifetime I should buy it". I know you get tonnes of -blam!-, map-packs, weapons, skins etc. So it does sound good. It'd probably cost me more to buy everything individually.

So how much does this cost? - 4000 Microsoft points - 4000 MS!? To be honest, in my opinion that is quite a lot. Something I can't pay out for so easily, especially after hearing that EA are actually removing DLC from the packages. There was a bit of a riot about this on the Battlelog a while ago.

So Floodians, what do you think?

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Dear lord no.

Save your money, pal.

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

The maps are really good, and if you actually feel that you will play it more, then it is definitely worth it.

But don't buy it if you won't use it.

Hey there!

Don´t do it!
It´s a waste of money if you ask me.
I would recommend you just to buy Back to Karkand and/or Aftermath,because this are the only good ones.

Well, I just had a look at the Aftermath trailer on Youtube - it looks good...on a PC. On an Xbox though? No -blam!- way.

Has anyone else seen a really good trailer, bought the game and then sat there waiting for something cool to happen?

Like charging through a field, mortars left right and centre, spraying your weapon as you go? And then in reality you're sprinting through a field like a spazz with a few stray bullets hitting soil 5 metres infront of you?

It's happened to me.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Although BF3 is a good shooter and I loved it at one point. Don't buy Premium. It's not worth it.

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

Aftermath is amazing even on Xbox.

Yes. It is well worth the money. 20 maps for that low amount of money is great.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

That is because Dice, EA, and some of their fanboys thought it was more important to have good graphics instead of having more players in the game.

Love your friends, Die laughing.

If you really want to play BF3, Yes, the maps are very good and the Premium content is very nice.

  • 12.14.2012 1:31 PM PDT

Only if you intend on playing it regularly. And if you don't have any of the DLC already.

Oh, just a tip, Armored Kill sucks!
So, just don't even bother with that one

That's the first time I've heard that. Ever. That's... just not going to happen.
As a BF3 Premium user on the PC, I Think it's well worth it if you're going to play it.

Im a Joker, Im a smoker, Im a midnight toker!
Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?

Well I like it and think it is worth it. But there is Battlefield 3 Premium Edition which includes Premium with the game and You can get it at Gamestop for around $40 so take that deal instead.

If you like the game and you know you will be playing it for a long time then yes get it.
