Premium-Exclusive Close Quarters Guide

[IsraCid3R]

Some of you know about it, some of you forgot.
battlefield premium members are getting the Prima Games guide of CQC for free.

most of the stuff if not all of them you already know. Its like they put a noobie guide for BF3 and renamed it under CQC.
Though the good part about this guide is the you have a detailed view of the CQ maps with explanations about some points and places in these maps.

As described on the page:

The first of the Premium-exclusive strategy guides is dropping today. This Prima Games guide will give insider information about the new maps, weapons, Assignments, and games modes featured in Close Quarters. So, whether you’re going for first place in Gun Master, hopping from flag to flag in Conquest Domination, or trying to unlock the new Close Quarters Assignment weapons, you’ll have a leg up on the competition. Everything from how to get that elusive EOD bot kill to unlock the MTAR-21, to the best places to defend against a frenetic. Conquest Domination onslaught is included.

you can get it here:
Premium - Battlelog / Battlefield 3

you will need to be logged in to battlelog.

To me it's just another gimmick, but it might be useful for someone else.

Why doesn't someone just save it and post it on iO forums so the iO members who don't have premium can read it?

[Jackson]

EA's secret agents could be monitoring this site.

[aP3doB3ar]

If EA had secret agents wouldn't they have fixed all the bugs and glitches that pop up? T.T I dont think they even have that type of money :P

[Chiz]

BF3 secret agents... the Apple Gestapo comes to mind...

Why doesn't someone just save it and post it on iO forums so the iO members who don't have premium can read it?

Because this is officially considers as piracy .

This and Forum rule: -Please don't discuss downloading any copyrighted material illegally.


Announcements - General Discussion

Because this is officially considers as piracy .

[aP3doB3ar]

Well i just re-read the guide... there is no copyrights for it, so it isnt piracy, it just states that you cannot copy their EA or DICE logo's...

[IsraCid3R]

if it cost money or you get it with subscription, then you take it and reproduce it free for all - n the US it considers piracy.
And because the servers, the forums and the site are hosted in the US. We obligated to follow these rules

[aP3doB3ar]

Must suck for you guys :P in Aus we can only copy if theres no copyright C's or there isnt any mentions that we cannot copy and distribute the item, Simple ^_^

Simon,

I understand you're like 15. So allow me to enlighten you on this topic. Here in the US piracy and copyright enfringement is taken a little more serious than it does in perhaps Australia. Whether or not it's "allowed" in the your country is a moot point. As IsraCid3R said: "And because the servers, the forums and the site are hosted in the US. We obligated to follow these rules" As an Admin you need to know and understand this.

Everything has some sort of copyright. Just because you went on bittorrent and got an item doesn't make it free.

And yes the PRIMA Guide has a copyright and Terms of Service and Conditions of Use.
