I don't get why you would you buy this DLC for Battlefield 3. Buyable multiplayer skins in an FPS don't make a lot of sense. The only people who can see them are the people you're killing and they're not going to think 'well is at least he looks cool

Didn't they announce the Gamestop one (SPECACT I think it was, maybe it was the other) was going to be free? I know they announced it would be out for all, but I could swear they said free.

most likely a stupid question, but just to clarify, achievements are not obtainable from the free trial on AC:R right? haven't downloaded the trial on the off chance, because it might be a while before I get back to the game

I'm glad SPECTACT has no achievements really hated that a free promo in BC2 had achievements attached to it and everyone outside of US had to pay for it.
