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

[Heisenberg]

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.

But isn't Battlelog already like Elite? It offers us stats, clans, etc AND it's better. AND it doesn't cost a dime. Anyway I hope this isn't true as the elite service sucked.

Anyway, just a rumor atm.

Battlelog is more EA's answer to Steam, unless I'm thinking of another EA program.

If this rumor is true, it just re-affirms to me that EA seems more concerned with beating their rivals by trying to match them by replicating them rather than innovating.

Well, EA does innovate. But when they do we end up with things like Project 10 Dollar...
