Event kicks off a full day early

I will admit, when this suggestion came into the Newshound HQ, I was a bit dumbfounded. Surely, I thought, if a popular FPS title like Battlefield 3 were to have a double XP weekend, it would start Friday night? After consulting with our announcement earlier this week, I was amazed to find that this was not originally the case.

But now? Now double XP is available worldwide, according to this Tweet: from @Battlefield:

We're kicking off this ?#BF3? Double XP Weekend early starting NOW! Get in and get every ranked point of XP doubledWhy are you still reading this? Go forth and conquer!

You only have until 11:59 PM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) to enjoy the double XP.

Didn't see an answer to this question on the twitter page, so I'll see if anyone knows here

Does the fact it's starting early mean it's also ending early? Or are they just giving us a bonus 24 hours?

Pretty sure that is just their F-U to CoD xp weekend. They planned on doing it for a shorter time, but with the CoD delayed announcement they decided to not be outdone it seems.


Downloading the nearly 3gb patch myself...glad I checked on this now and not when I was hoping to play.

I was wondering last night if that was the case because I didn't start playing until about 1am CST and then started getting 2x XP at the end of rounds.

Que Lo Que xD said:Bad company 2 > battlefield 3Yeah, I've played about 10 hours of BF3 and it still hasn't clicked for me like BC2. Part of it has to do with finding good servers, last couple games I played I got booted by the admins about 10 seconds before winning a rush round and a few others were wrought with spawn campers.
