special edition units in mp

[t1master]

i've read a bit here and there, funny how there is not a lot of consistent info that i can find about this topic. are the special units going to be available to everyone in mp? or just the folks who bought the units extra? if it's the latter, what sort of balance are we to expect?

From the Steam FAQ:

When & where do these units appear in the game? (Multiplayer and single player battle modes) As long as you have properly unlocked these exclusive units through Steam, they will be available in multiplayer and single player battle modes when playing with the appropriate factions.

So uhm I guess that means you have to spend the money to get to use the units in MP. But a confirmation would be nice IMO. You never know if its just some screwup when FAQ was made.

Otherwise it is rather silly to force multiplayers to spend extra money. Good for CA's wallet I guess.

As I have said over in the SP forum, the units will most likely be given in a patch later anyway, or all CA is doing is splitting the MP community, either making Special Forces players only vs other SF players, or giving them an advantage.

there's two threads about this already in the sp forum. discuss here or there?

Hm maybe in SP forum. Higher chance of a CA dev noticing it?

I would imagine they will be expensive anyway. The only format this will hurt MP in is tournaments with faction elimination.
