 | Battlefield 3 Double XP Event This Weekend, You Can Make it Longer Written Thursday, August 23, 2012 By Lee Bradley View author's profile |
DICE is holding another Double XP event this weekend, but this time there’s a twist. The event begins on August 25th and depending on how many times an image on the game’s Facebook page is shared, it may be extended longer. So there you have it. The image in question is here and the kick off time for the event can be found here. How exciting. | |

| Note: The event is "Premium-Exclusive" and will max out at 72 hours. I'm totally fine with Premium members getting their exclusive events, but there are two thing that I don't understand: 1. Why are you making people WHO PAID FOR BONUSES do extra work just to receive them? 2. If you are asking for support from the general public of Facebook, wouldn't it make more sense to run a campaign that would eventually unlock the event to the ENTIRE BF COMMUNITY? | ||

| @5 nobody is having to do extra work to receive the 2x exp , its about extending it..and clicking a button hardly counts as "extra work" but i do agree with your second point , make these extending hours open to all | ||

| Great so anyone who bought the game on xbox, pc gets the middle finger. Right because they want to buy their dlc twice. Sorry but no thanks. I'd rather wait till the dlc comes down in price instead of getting of getting ripped off for dlc I already paid for! Smart move to announce premium right after people downloaded your first set of dlc's. | ||

| @10. Unless you bought CQ too you are still saving money. If you already own B2K, you save $10 on the other four; if you don't own it, its $25 savings. Not to mention all of the other Premium exclusive content you get. | ||

| So again us people who don't have premium don't get anything!? Surprise surprise. I think DICE have forgot, we did buy the game as well. Shameful they don't give us anything to do with double XP compared to Premium :@ | ||

| @7 Whether you class it as work or not, it's pretty sucky that EA and DICE are making their own Premium members act as walking advertisements for the game, just to get a few hours extra. Also sucky how non-premiums are left out, but I'm pretty much done with this game, so I'm not terribly fussed. | ||

| Wait so I bought the Limited Edition day 1 does that mean I get double XP? Because if not then fuck them. This is ridiculous. I actually contemplated jumping on this weekend to play, but screw it. What they should have done is give "premium users an extra day or something" and let the people who also bought the fucking game enjoy the xp bonus too. | ||

| What are all you non-Premiums complaining about? You've already had three double XPs! Monthly x2 XP was one of the incentives for buying Premium. You'll still get another x2 XP if you didn't buy Premium, just not this time, probably when AK drops instead. Whining for the sake of whining doesn't make you look "cool", sorry. | ||

| @25 How so? I made a valid argument, while all the people complaining have not. | ||

| I'm not level 45 and I don't plan on getting it. I just don't like the online in this game like bad company 2. I really want them to make a bad company 3 though instead of a Battlefield 4. In my opinion battlefield 3 is a good example of how gameplay makes a good game not just graphics (Not saying it's bad just that I personally don't like it). | ||

| @28 Yes, because looking upon EA's bottom of the barrel methods of exploiting their users to advertise the game isn't valid, but making wild assumptions that the people complaining 'wish to look cool' is. Initially I didn't, but based on your reply, I do agree with 25. | ||

| The total time broke like 150, so I'm pretty sure it's a full work week's worth of double XP. | ||
