@R00zillaThat's a possibility as well but I see that as naturally limiting as they are going to want to entice the non-Colonels out there by making it at least moderately easy to achieve (especially when it comes to paid DLC as I doubt it would be free). If they held it only to those who ranked 100+, they would more than likely see unachieved expectations as far as money earned by those DLC and conclude that the content wasn't wanted (when the it could have simply been that people didn't want to/couldn't sink Colonel levels of time into the game. The key question would be whether or not they offered any tangible advantage to the game. If so, you would be looking at a self-induced problem that could have been mitigated by something as simple as only being able to earn progression through player kills or nerf only the XP gained against bots (to an extent) via some percentage reduction. This would make people want to still play portal as their main source of BF entertainment while allowing for progression through effort. In any case, it will be interesting to see how DICE/EA dig themselves out (if they even attempt to). They could have avoided this criticism by simply making the Battlefield that they sold and not the hero shooter they ran away from.
