Some gamers have already started a boycott and canceling pre-orders of the game due to how EA have separated the DLC based on what was done or not done for the pre-order.
The issue revolves around the Back to Karkand DLC pack which might appears to have been split up into 3 tiers with no pre-order people having to purchase the DLC but only getting the maps, the regular edition only getting the maps for free, while the limited edition gets the maps along with special guns and stuff.
EA is refusing to offer the same DLC once the game is available and will actually lock out the special stuff from the DLC to everyone else but gave no reason why.

The rage stems from the Back to Karkand expansion pack, which will have to be purchased separately by those who choose to buy the game without reserving it. Unfortunately, even if you buy the DLC post-launch, you won't get the extra guns and ammo that come with the "Physical Warfare" pre-order version of the game, meaning you'll be paying out for less content and are essentially "punished" for wanting to commit to a game before it's released.
Electronic Arts attempted a similar scheme with Battlefield: Bad Company. Sarcastic Gamer organized a boycott of the game and it actually succeeded, so it's funny to see EA attempt to sneak the same bullshit under our noses again.
