Mmo?

Once the new game engine is fixed, especially the AI for offline play, they will be able to use the game engine to support a number of different profitable ventures, that include an offline/online series, MMO's, and movie making. If the game engine can't be fixed none of the ventures will ever be finished and/or see the light of day.

I don't mind people trying to get an edge by paying more but I also don't see the reason for it. After all, we are playing flight combat sims, or any other games for that matter, to challenge ourselves right? What sense of achievement does one get from buying a victory? It boggles the mind, it really does....

Right. It has to do with cheating, also.

But the best thing is: for an MMO they don't need to fix the AI or radio comms

Isn´t that different? In BF3 you can pay to unlock all the achievements, but everybody can get all weapons. So it is still fair at least...

not really...if you dont buy the unlocks you start for example as a sniper with a 30,06 bolt rifle with a 7x scope and the guy who bought the unlocks starts with a Barrett M82 .50 caliber with a 12x scope ...he can part your hair before you even leave the spawn cradle to the grave...still sound fair?

I agree, but fixing the AI, and Commands shouldn't be that difficult once the game engine is working properly. I doubt the developer/publisher will throw away that source of income because they don't want to fix the AI.

Actually no,with BF3 you can unlock the guns but not any of the achievements/extra's for em i.e. x12 scope, straight bolt ect. you still have to unlock all that stuff by using the weapon.
