No shock as Online Pass confirmed for Battlefield 3
The news was confirmed by DICE designer Alan Kertz on Twitter. When pressed on the reasons for the decision, he said that the decision to use the system was “because servers cost money, and used games don't make developers any money”.
Those who buy a pre-owned version of the game will be able to buy an Online Pass for around £8.
Its predecessor, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, included a VIP pass that could be redeemed to access additional content on the game disc that was otherwise locked.
The last high-profile EA release to not include an Online Pass was Portal 2, and before that Crysis 2. But these games were published under the EA Partners label, meaning their developers were free to opt-in or opt-out of the scheme.

BF3pvtpunchu **** the online pass, you are already paying over $60 for the damn disc.
Its not like you're paying anything extra for the online pass. It is in the game case when you buy it.
If you loose it or buy a pre-owned version you will have to buy another code. Just another way to con the players who have to save up their hard work money. Call of duty on the other hand = Free. Not a fanboy just stating the obvious. Pvtpunchu has a point here.
