[quote name='louiedog']It's true that EA is doing this with all of their games. However, an online pass isn't necessarily needed to play online. Take Bulletstorm as an example. The online pass gives some extras in multiplayer, but it is not required to play that game online. With the exception of the gears beta, the online pass for it is pointless. You get some skins and the start at level 5, which only takes a couple of games to reach anyway. If someone borrowed that game from a friend or rented it they wouldn't miss much. The only value that pass has is the Gears Beta which is only temporary.[/QUOTE]
I'm going off topic here, so this is my final post on this topic. Yep same goes for Medal of Honor it even has an online pass for free dlc. Nowadays EA's every game comes with an online pass but all of them doesn't restrict from playing online. wish there was a list to tell what games restrict you from playing online without pass
