Battlefield 3 To Have Double XP Between May 9th and May 13th

Recently there has been a lot of talk and hype surrounding the next Battlefield release, Battlefield 4. However, Battlefield 3 is still going strong with thousands of online users and it is nice to see DICE hasn’t forgotten about giving them a little thanks every once in a while. That said DICE have announced plans to give all Battlefield 3 players, premium or not, the ability to grab double XP on May the 9th through to May the 13th.

Battlefield 3 has sustained itself relatively well since its release way back in October 2011. This is mainly thanks to DLC packs keeping the game going for the past 18 months: Back To Karkand (December 2011), Close Quarters (June 2012), Armored Kill (September 2012), Aftermath (November 2012) and Endgame (March 2013).

Now with DLC all but finished and Battlefield Premium only promising to keep Battlefield addicts interested for so long, DICE is hoping some double XP will get a few gamers back on Battlefield 3 in the near future.

DICE announced the news over on their Facebook page this week and anyone looking to make some quick progression through the levels in Battlefield 3 should definitely jot this one down. Double XP will be available on all ranked matches.

Expect DICE to announce some more details on the double XP event nearer the time.
