Secure your pre-order for SW Battlefront Deluxe and unlock special weapons and ammo to dominate from the start.
Well now, guys. I just wasted about fifteen minutes shouting into the chat during that Skype call, when I learned EA and Dice are planning to unlock exclusive weapons if you pre-order the "Deluxe Edition" for seventy dollars. They’re talking about things like stomping enemies with unique gear, an Ion Grenade that damages vehicles, and a Torpedo that locks onto foes for extra harm. The DL-44 blaster is popular among shady characters, and there are some awkward in-game reactions to use. Wow, that sounds pretty rough—super unbalanced and unfair for anyone who hasn’t played the game or read real reviews. Honestly, my opinion here is strong, but I’ll keep it brief. Just a heads-up, my take is right in the spoiler section below.
They’re just attempting to persuade customers to buy ahead of time. This is standard marketing practice. However, if these special pre-orders offer real benefits for users… well, that would be disappointing.
It's not just about that. The reason they're doing this is enough to make anyone upset. It doesn't help anyone to pre-order a game, which could easily be another disappointment like AC Unity. This hurts consumers and mainly helps the developer, which is unacceptable unless you're an EA executive profiting from it.
BS preorder tricks await—stick around 1-2 years before the "GOTY" version drops to the discount section.
Consider alternative scenarios where a single "Ion" grenade provides greater impact despite reduced capacity. Think about tighter blast zones, limited throwing range, or lower usage frequency. Evaluate whether higher damage comes from fewer grenades or more effective ones. Be cautious of marketing tactics that push for increased spending. As I previously mentioned, if they genuinely outperform the standard version, it’s time to question who benefits from the higher price.
