To continue the recent trend form EA, Battlefield 3 is ‘probably’ going to ship with some sort of online pass for the multiplayer function. Patrick Bach (BF3 Executive Producer) recently told Gamerzines that players will ‘probably’ have to redeem a code for the multiplayer content.
When asked ‘whether DICE would be locking second hand players out of the game’s multiplayer unless they were to buy an online pass separately’, Bach answered “I think we are”.
Bach went on to say:
“The whole idea is that we’re paying for servers, and if you create a new account there is a big process on how that is being handled in the backend. We would rather have you buy a new game than a used game because buying a used game is only a cost to us; we don’t get a single dime from a used game, but we still need to create server space and everything for you”
The team at DICE are still confident that BF3 will top their big FPS contender, Modern Warfare 3.
“Hopefully people understand why. It’s not to punish people. To us it’s compensation”
