That is some pretty awesome news!

I already unlocked all the handguns and grenades? I don't need these shortcuts, but I would love the premium ones!

This is so pointless IMO. What is the point in ranking up if the weapons are already unlocked?

THCv3Posted:

The shortcut packs are for things that I already have. :[ The packs that they give are the easiest things to get.

Nice going to redeem some free stuff

This doesn't give attachments, though. I already have all the pistols and grenades unlocked anyways, and I'm not a Premium member to get the DMRs and Shotguns :/

ValorPosted:

I would much rather unlock things on my own but whatever..

I wish I had my BF4 back so I can get these >.

Doesn't this kind of kill the game? Like what are you actually working up to get once you have everything?

I would also prefer Double XP, it would be better.
