restricted access

as was the case with the new Army of Two game, only some players will have access to the "Squad Rush" gamemode for the first month. . .
from what I can tell, though, all PC users have full access

another bullshit move by EA (presumably)
I mean what are they hoping to accomplish? the average consumer probably isn't even aware of the offer. and those that are might be turned off by these tactics

How incredibly lame.

I'm growing to hate Gamestop more and more. "Power to the players" Riight...

PC ftw. Still a dick move by EA tho.

PC ftw indeed.

Only affects North American player too? Stupid move to be honest. But money makes the world go round I guess.

Well, good thing I got it off Steam.

Crazy ideas by EA.

Indeed, that's a pretty dumb move.

I suppose it's an added bonus of buying it on PC then (like everyone should anyways )

Now all they need to do is add mod tools and all the other jazz PC players like.

These pre order bonuses continue to reach new heights of ridiculousness. It's one of the shadiest business practices i have ever seen.
MMO's especially.

I took the trap, and preordered BC2(on Steam for beta access).

giving people the incentive to buy games new is one thing
this is quite another
