After everything EA and Dice have done in regards to this game, I'm not really in the mood to support this. Then again, I don't buy EA games on PC due to not being able to stand Origin at all, so...

I do have the feeling they are trying to backtrack everything that's happened, but it's not going to work in any meaningful way. Plus, it's still EA, the biggest blunders happen after the game has launched.

From looking at the trailer, it seems like the "story" from which most of the controversy stems is but one of several.  Rather than backtracking, it really looks like the initial mistake was taking that one "story" and trying to turn it into the focal point.  I get the impression that it was a big PR move rather than a development move.  They were likely looking for brownie points from the Polygons and Eurogamers of the world--which they'll probably get, to be honest.  I think this will be one of those instances where PR screwed things up for a good product.
