Vote for your favourite BF: Bad Company map
Electronic Arts’ DICE is working on new multiplayer content for Battlefield: Bad Company and wants you to choose your favourite single-player level from a selection of six available ones on the official website. Hurry up, because the voting ends tomorrow, September 2!
Two most popular maps based on votes will be included in the upcoming free multiplayer map pack, along with two additional maps that will be picked by the developer.
Which map did you vote for?
Ghost Town was my pick.
I like urban-area maps.
I voted Crash and Grab. That’d be pretty hectic.
Looks like Battlefield is exemplifying the new video game business model–
Day 1: Ship game disk containing $30 worth of content, charge full retail price ($60)
Day 60-120: If sales are poor, abandon all support of game. Otherwise, release patch fixing only the most buggy and broken game mechanics. Release $5-10 worth of content, and charge for it depending on your mood. Gamers will praise anything you do at this point!
Day 120-180: If good sales numbers are maintained, another $5-10 worth of content are in order. Charge whatever you like, your customers will worship you! Release another patch addressing only minor issues; NEVER fix every problem, gamers don’t deserve that.
Day 180+: Should customers continue to eat your shit, feel free to bleed as much money as possible through additional DLC. If sales subside, abondon all support of game.
Not a bad racket, ya?
