**MIG-31** · Mar 22, 2008, 07:34 AM

A glance at the unlockable arsenal in the newly released beta for EA DICE's Battlefield: Bad Company (PS3, X360) reveals weapons will be up for purchase on the Xbox Live Marketplace, Game|Life reports.

The Unlocks section of the game's menu system lists a variety of weapons, ten of which read "buy this weapon on Xbox Live Marketplace" when highlighted. The game also displays a model of the weapon which can be rotated and viewed at any angle, leading some to speculate that the weapons are already packed in the game data.

Gaming is getting stupid if you have to pay $60.00 bucks for a game and $49.00 a year to play online and then pay more money for stupid guns.
Its almost like buying a cheat if they shoot more rounds or are more powerful or what ever to beat the other guy.
