Rumor: EA to reveal COD Elite-like service for Battlefield 3 at E3

4.2
Electronic Arts is prepping its own subscription-based companion service for its flagship military-centric first person shooter, according to a "very reliable source" belonging to Battlefieldo. The service (dubbed Battlefield™ Premium) would be to Battlefield 3 what Activision's Call of Duty Elite program is to Modern Warfare 3, granting access to "a number of content drops with unique in-game items not available anywhere else," so sayeth the allegedly leaked press release.

"First out is the one-of-a-kind Premium knife and black dog tag," the missive continues, "plus a set of soldier camos, weapon camos, dog tags and Assignments that will make sure you stand out and get more personalization options." Should this all pan out, Battlefield Premium will be officially announced during E3, specifically on June 4.

easy way for Dice to earn some more cash.
Good idea, but they should've probably done this earlier.

Sounds stupid.

Essentially, all this idea is just basically a season pass...with a few extras chucked in. Battlelog already shows the stuff that ELITE does.

I love how Dice was taking shots at the fact that you have to pay for CoD Elite and they go and do this.

GLOCK-PERFECTION The people over at joystick snorted a few lines prior to writing this, i mean how stupid this sounds, battle log already does this and by E3 almost all battlefield content will be released. Joystick=Idiots
Thank God someone else on here has a brain as well!

BUDinc so let me get this strait you have to pay to play online and this now and servers wow ea **** you
You are an idiot. This is a rumor and better yet you do not need to pay to play. You buy the game and use your code to have online access. You are not required to buy a server at all. That is a luxury anyway being able to change the match up to your liking. So stop nagging over things you know nothing about kid.

HotFudgeRibDayZ That would be cool.

Not it's not because Battlelog already does that
