EA has confirmed that Battlefield 1 will have both map packs and micro-transactions.
EA’s CEO Andrew Wilson broke the news in an investor call, but was quick to point out that this would only “add value” to gamers:
“Given that in Battlefield 1, you will see both macro monetization opportunities from us like maps and large scale content, as well as micro monetization opportunities, smaller increments of gameplay, and then over time, what you will see from us is elements of gameplay that allow gamers to engage and drive, and extend and enhance their experience, much the way people do with FIFA Ultimate Team or Madden Ultimate Team today.”
“We feel very confident in our ability to deliver that in a way that is deemed valuable by our player, and drives increased engagement over time with them.”

I don’t give two farts about weapon packs, short cut packs, skin packs blah blah blah. All of that can be earned in game easy peasy.
But for the love of – insert deity of choice here – do NOT split the player base with goddamn map packs! BF4 premium was USELESS! New maps came out…people played them for maybe 2 weeks…then all went back to vanilla maps with few servers running the new content!
