This is across all platforms, right?

Since it isn’t mentionned, I think it’s safe to say it should be across all platforms

@both – It never said in the PR. I will look further into it. I got busy is all.

EDIT: “All soldiers in the Battlefield 3 brigade will earn double XP.” So, yes.

@5, the only reason to farm points in BF3 is unlocks, and the majority of players already have them now. All this will do is artificially inflate the spm of the players who can afford the time to whore the game all weekend.

@3
Thanks! I’ll have to boot it up this weekend, then.
=)
To me, this is good news, because I honestly haven’t had a lot of time for BF3.
