Pay to unlock Battlefield 3 kit and vehicles - how does this make you feel?

Gamer A : Has 100 hours to spend to get to level x and y gear.
Gamer B: Has 10 hours to spend + R310.

Each to his own. I might use this to unlock a few things here and there, depending on how it works.
Unlock everything at the start will ruin gaming for me, I like 'earning loot' , but I have perhaps a little more time than Gamer B?

End of the day the core game stays the same. FPS shooter with 'lite rpg' elements (leveling).

Imagine an MMO scenario...

Gamer A puts 1000hrs into his character and raids every night...spending days on getting that one special item he's yearned for.

Gamer B plays for a few hours and buys all the top level boss drops and that special item.

I'm sorry but this is as big a fail as introducing DRM is.

yeah Except in a MMO the leet gear could mean the difference between winning and losing, in a twitch based game like an FPS it would only slightly, ever slow slightly, skew the outcome of any given encounter.

I don't really care. If they wan't to spend money on unlocks so be it, I feel more satisfied with my gun having earned it through play.

Doesn't bother me, personally I wish some classic fps games could come out again.

Quake 3 run over any gun to pick it up. Counter strike die 4 rounds and buy any gun. none of this play for XXXXX hours and get XXXX to get gun.

Play Halo 3 or Reach. Still works like that.
