Who is this company and what have they done with EA?! I truly find it hard to believe that they would keep micros out of SWBF, but if they do they earns brownie points with me

I read this the other day, it's excellent news. Now if the game is relatively bug free and they don't go overboard with the DLC I'll be really happy.

By 'overboard' do you mean maps or locations? Because I wouldn't say no to Dantooine, Bespin or Alderaan as additional DLC content... so long as they include single-player content too. Too often companies forget the single player experience, and DICE has made efforts to make single player a little more diverse in SWBF than it ahs in Battlefield.

Well that's pretty good. That means players will earn their unlocks rather than buying them...

Although this casts new light on the lack of a server browser etc...
Perhaps they want to prevent players from privately farming points for the unlocks with their friends?

I meant the amount and cost, I'm ok with 1 or 2 map packs or expansion packs a few months after release but I don't want to see overpriced weapon packs for example just after release

I can see the reasoning behind that. It actually makes sense. People used to farm points in Battlefield 3 ( so I heard )

Maybe we won't be able to earn points in private/custom matches.
