Battlefield Premium Costs and Details Revealed
A post on MP1st has snooped out information regarding EA’s planned rival to the “Call of Duty Elite” subscription plan, apparently called “Battlefield Premium.” The UK and Danish sites for European retailer, CoolShop, lists the service for a planned release on June 29, with prices that translate to about $60, says the post.
The listing offers this information about the DLC that gamers can expect to receive when the subscription service launches this summer:
“BF3 Premium Service is 1 code in a box to give the consumers early access to the BF3 DLC expansion packs – Back to Karkand (already released), Close Quarters (releasing June), Armoured Kill (releasing Sept) and End Game (releasing December).”
In addition, the post offers rumored details for what the package will include:
- 20 Maps
- 20 New Weapons
- 10+ New Vehicles
- 4+ New Game Modes
- 30+ Assignments
- 20+ Dog Tags
- Also includes “Premium Benefits” which are made up of skins, camos and most importantly early access to all DLC.
The post also proposes that the as-yet unannounced fifth DLC pack is named “End Game,” and is set for a Spring 2013 launch.
[UPDATE]
But as reader Joh points out in the comments below, there’s a discrepancy between the rumored release date of Spring ’13, and the one from the BFP listing above. So which is it? Chances are, December ’12. It would make more sense for the retailer to know what’s up, I think. But at the same time, who knows? I sure don’t. I didn’t even catch this the first time around. What a jerk I am.
[ORIGINAL POST CONTINUES]
I’m sure we’ll hear all about what the service will or won’t have at E3 in June—so keep your eyes peeled, Battlefield 3 fans.

So End Game is coming out this December and next Spring? =/ Something is wrong here…
You pass the reading comprehension test! Clearly I failed. I was distracted when I wrote this post. BUT THAT’S NO EXCUSE! Imma update it to reflect the discrepancy YOU noticed. Good on you, Joh.
That, and you said End Game is the 5th DLC coming out in March, but earlier when you said December, that would only make it the 4th! I’m so confused D:
So aparentley game contents such as maps and weapons are worth the same as the game itself?
Well now, the original game shipped with only 9 maps, this is 20 extra maps. And the extra content like weapons, vehicles, dogtags and whatnot could run up in $60.
Seems to have changed their mind from when they first released the game. Even the servers are different? Hope they don’t end up like cod too much….
Think its too late. Welp time to sell my copy I think. Im not paying any more towards this game.
I think I’ll just get them separately. I wasted money on the CoD elite and the GoW3 season pass.
When they say 20 new maps and weapons, I hope they mean aside from the DLC.
EA Is going to milk BF3 to death.
No thanks, sorry EA, not taking my money again.
So wait if cq dlc comes out before this Battlefield Premium and most of use got Back to Karkand so 60 dollars for just 2 dlcs?????
I’ll almost certainly get this if it saves me money in the long run. (And if it doesn’t work out cheaper than buying DLC individually what’s the point of it?)
Waait. I never find the answer to this, but do these ‘premium memberships’ last forever? if so, it wouldn’t be such a bad buy considering it will last forever and extra vehicles, weapons and all that would be more of a reason for me to play
Will this come out before CQ? its sorta a waste if it doesn’t? it it 60 or 80? i’ve seen both on sites. Are the maps and weapons on top of B2k, CQ, AK, and endgame? how early do you get DLC? hopefully these q’s will be answered at E3…
