Battlefield 3 soldier

I have both the battlefield 3 and mass effect 3 games registered to my origins account yet I don't have the battlefield 3 character for mass effect 3 multiplayer

Hi.

In the past, you would get the Battlefield 3 soldier for Multiplayer by registering both games.

Recently however, this character was made availible for all players as an unlock within the game. You can currently get the Battlefield 3 soldier as a rare character card (gold framed character card) dropped from various purchasable packs from the Multiplayer store, bought with earned ingame credits.

This is, of course, entirely random as to whether or not that you get this particular card instead of a weapon upgrade or some other piece of equipment, but you will get it eventually if you buy packs. Spectre packs and Premium Spectre packs have a higher chance of giving you this card.

Now that just sucks. I've got BF3 and now it looks like I won't be able to unlock this soldier unless I get the rare card. Good find on the Bioware forums BTW!

  At least now everyone can use him. Plus, it's just a standard human soldier with Carnage - not that big of a deal to be honest. And it's just one rare card as the BF3 soldier doen't have any customizations.

    No he's not just a standard soldier with carnage, he can roll as well (source: the Bioware forums). I've played with the BF3 soldier on my Xbox profile since launch, it's nice he just has no visual customization options so I was hoping I could use him on my PS3 too since I played BF3 on both platforms. Apparently releasing the soldier to the general population prevents him from being unlocked via the BF3 online pass now just like the collector assault rifle from the Darkhorse comics is no longer unlocking after they put it into general circulation. I wouldn't mind it being open to everyone if it didn't prevent my profile from using the entitlements.
