[UPDATED] Battlefield 3 double XP weekend starts NOW
Looking for an XP boost in Battlefield 3 online? Drop all your Father’s Day plans and jump into the fray this throughout the weekend for double your XP, starting now. Battlefield 3 players have not seen too many double XP weekends, so this comes as a pleasant surprise.
Everyone will be allowed to earn the double XP all weekend long as long as your playing on a ranked server. It is effective across all modes and maps, including the Close Quarters maps. You’ll notice a pleasant modifier to your score at the very end of the End of Round screen.
This double XP weekend is essentially a way to advertise the Battlefield Premium package. It allows Premium members early access to the new map packs two weeks before they are available to non-Premium members. Right now, Battlefield Premium gains its members access to the Close Quarters expansion.
The information on the Double XP Weekend can be found on their official announcement page on the Battlelog. EA also sent out this tweet to the Twitter community.
