In news that didn’t shock the world today, it looks like Battlefield is getting a premium subscription service like Call of Duty Elite. Anything Activision<\/a> can do, EA<\/a> can do. Whether it’s better or not is probably irrelevant, though, as long as there’s cash in the bank.<\/p>\n

According to GamesIndustry’s mysterious “anonymous sources”, Battlefield Premium subscribers would have access to exclusive content, most of it aesthetic.<\/p>\n

“Battlefield Premium will land you a number of content drops with unique in-game items not available anywhere else,” is the alleged description from an alleged document seen by the alleged sources.<\/p>\n

“First out is the one-of-a-kind Premium knife and black dog tag, plus a set of soldier camos, weapon camos, dog tags and Assignments that will make sure you stand out and get more personalization options.”<\/p>\n

The sources also claim that a number of expansions are already in the works, including one scheduled to launch in March 2013. Remember to pretend to be really<\/em> surprised.<\/p>\n
