I stopped my pre-ordering plan

@CyberDymeThey can still be linked to the seasons but NOT the Battlepasses.

I am 99.9% certain that no 'hardware' is behind a pay wall but I will stand to be corrected although that is doubtful.

OK @Trokey66 ,

But so far, all we hear and read from EA, then you have to buy the Battle Pass to 'pay for to' get access to the next season.  So maybe wrong, but I take it as implicit that we have to buy the battle passes to access the seasons ahead and thereby also the Specialists being released in them.

I much compare it so far to the DLCs in BF4, where you needed to pay for them to get access to the weapons/gadgets linked directly to each of those DLCs.  Like several good assault rifles, like: F2000, the Bulldog, AR160 and the L85A2.  Also the MTAR-21 carbine, the DAO-12 shotgun, the AWS and the RPK LMGs, the MPX and MP7 PDWs, and the L115, the GOL Magnum and CS5 sniper rifles.  And was it the Deagle 44 and the Unica 6 handguns?

You also had the AA mine and the UCAV which I think was locked behind a certain DLC purchase?

I am not judging it.  Just trying to make sense of the limited info that EA have shared so far on their license/payment model for this next game.  As this thread is highlighting:  Its astounding that EA expect people to flock on top of each other to pre-order based on nothing but a few minutes of video feed and then a vague 10 bullet points product info sticker.   :o)
