This thread has been linked to the game 'Battlefield: Bad Company'.
Battlefield Bad Company, as many of you will know is going to be a big, FPS set in modern warfare, with 90% destructable enviroments and beautiful graphics, its the first big contender for Call of Duty 4.
Some of you may have played Battlefield 2 on the PC and if you have then i am sure you fell in love with it just like i did, and that the release of Bad Company has you biting your nails in anticipation. It looks to be much more like the loved PC version and less like the console versions, while the console versions were good, they just didnt live up to its big brother.
The release of Bad Company has been put back and back, but with it now in sight im growing more and more impatient until i can finally play on my Ps3, with a good FPS, like Call of Duty 4 BUT i have veichles! Helicopters, Tanks, Trucks, the full works (except planes!!) but this should inject a new bit of life into the shooting genre. While Call of Duty 4 has been nothing less than excellent i think Battlefield could be the one to top it!
Thats enough about how much i love the game, now onto the real subject at hand. For the same amount of money - £39.99, you can purchase a Gold Edition of the game. Now after hearing rumours and different stories i have finally gotten to the truth and learnt that this is the extra you get:
Get into the fight quickly - the Gold Edition includes five multiplayer weapons, normally at rank 25, available for immediate use on the battlefield.
Know the battlefield - eight multiplayer map strategy videos are included covering everything from basic to advanced covering all the strategic depth of the gameplay.
Behind the scenes - a documentary with a fascinating insight into the production of Bad Company, from early concepts to the finished game.
Exclusive Smiley Grenade poster and gold metal case packaging bring the Gold Edition to life.
Now for me this is all well and good, a nice poster, a documentary if your into that kind of thing, but the fact for the same money you can just pretty much cheat and be online from the start with level 25 guns while everyone who wants to "earn their stripes" has to put up with it. I just think its a bit of a stupid idea, i mean if you aint good enough at the start then play more, get better and earn the guns and meadals as you progress, surely this is what gives the game is longevity and excitement.
I don't know how everyone else feels about this but i will not be getting the Gold Edition, while i think the steel gold case would be ncie and special editions are always a good one to have as they hold money better. I just disagree with the decsion of giving the guns away so cheaply, i think that through hard work and dedication to the game you should be rewarded.
I am interested in what everyone has to think on this, as i could understand a bit more if it was more expensive as a marketing move, but for no extra money? I cant see why they wouldnt want people playing it longer to keep their game on top.

that blox game looked pretty fun - im a big DBZ fan tough and think this could be the best yet, still waiting for the Naruto game, that also looks incredible
too many games, not enough time and cash!

Looks like you got lucky, congrats on the Ironman review GAD. Should hopefully let you cover the cost of BL now, though I'd probably get that Wii blox game . I'd still recommend get the Gold edition of BC anyway if it's the same cost, there's some nice videos on there apparently and the box will be nice.
Yea well done on the win - wrote an indiana jones review which hopefully can be in with a chance. Would like to get burst limit with a voucher
Cool, won a GAD. That means I can pre-order it now and use the other one for Smash Bros.
Unless I need to get more toys before August, but I've got loads for my eldest's birthday already.

Smash bros seemed to have died down a bit in my thoughts.
looking forward to Battlefield and Dragonball Z burst limit (love the graphics on that game)

Yeah, I had 2 but the 3rd Series of Doctor Who came down in price as I was about to pre-order it.
Plus I'm still debating whether to wait for Smash Bros to come back on Pre-order first.

yea - it a game i am really looking forward to so put couple of GAD's i had won to the cause, hoping to win some more! Some fun looking games coming out soon!
I need another £17.99 to pre-order it. If I find that I'll do it.
yea i agree with you on that, in Call of Duty i use one of the earliest guns avaliable to you - the M4
but when i played battlefield 2 on the PC i did find that the better guns were the ones you unlock, just by power and accuracy especially as a sniper - the last gun was the best by far.
but still can't wait to get my hands on this, have it pre-ordered and should get it on release day!

I like the case! Not to sure about the weapons, sometimes the earlier ones are the weapon of choice anyway, especially if you have a half decent machine gun.
