      I enjoyed the 1 hour "beta" as well, but I simply don't approve of this much content being kept from the original game unless you pay a premium, essentially a day 0 dlc that was ready when the game went gold.
      
      That, and I'm concerned about what will happen to the game when the servers eventually go dark, like all games. If I want to pick this game up in 10 years, I shouldn't have to worry about servers being paid for and maintained by EA.
