Battlefield 4 premium service access further discussed

EA’s upcoming next installment into the “Battlefield” franchise will feature a premium service for those who pre-order “Battlefield 4.” The developer has now confirmed that any pre-order through any outlet (both physical and online stores) will grant access to the game’s premium service. After specifically being asked if “Battlefield 4” must be purchased through EA’s own Origin service to receive premium status, DICE responded by stating the following, "No, as long as your pre-order the game, you will have access to it."

Hopefully the first DLC is free for preorders like Back to Karkand was with BF3.

ddurand14009d ago (Edited 4009d ago )

i dont. that was my biggest gripe with premium for bf3.

I had to pay the same price for premium as everyone else but I already owned back to karkand due to my preorder.

I know thats nitpicking, but i still dont think it was right.

I hope they offer some kind of loyalty discount to bf3 premium members or something. thatd be cool.

Dirtnapstor4009d ago

Totally agree, especially when the BF3 Premium disc bundle went on sale. Granted I had been playing for some time prior, but still, add the original costs up...over $100 for a bundle you can buy for $40 on sale now!
Maybe they'll discount the BF4 Premium $$$ for those who are BF3 Premium members with a B4 preorder?! That'd be a nice gesture for being loyal.
I understand over time games will get discounted, but yes, something should be said about loyalty.

ddurand14009d ago

it surprises me that people think that you should pay for content you already own.

ExposingLames4009d ago

As a PS3 gamer who was pumped for BF3 and preordered and played for months while they actually released let alone refused to fix a broken party and mic system among other inexcusable things?

That was my last "DICE" game. Believe that.

Majin-vegeta4009d ago

Same here.I may pick up Bf4 if they release a premium edition.Plus Bf3 still has plenty of life in it.

ExCest4009d ago

So wait, pre orders get premium? Are we finally going back to those days when DLC was free (at least for PC, not sure about consoles) or close to that day?

Teajae4009d ago

i think pre-orders only get the first dlc.

ExCest4009d ago

Well that sucks. It looked to be otherwise.

Pillsbury14009d ago

So you HAVE to pre order to get premium? Doesn't sound right, what about those people that did not pre-order? I doubt they will refuse taking money to buy premium. They are EA after all.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot759d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250758d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface757d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop758d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno758d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel759d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps758d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888758d ago (Edited 758d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33758d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888758d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH758d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
