As you might have heard through our various Battlefield channels, we will be running a Double XP event for PC this weekend. If you are wondering how exactly your Double XP scores get calculated this weekend, just check out the full run down right here : So, imagine you have just finished a round with 2 kills and 3 deaths. Your total score on the scoreboard is an amazing 200 points and you finally start feeling like a pro. The whole round, you played as an Engineer. What you will see right after the scoreboard switches to the End of Round screen is that your Engineer symbol will flash, adding a total of 400 points to your engineer kit. This is your original 200 points multiplied by 2. After your normal points have been doubled on the Engineer kit, it is now time for the game to count your ribbon score. You have received the Squad Rush Ribbon and the MVP 2 Ribbon. The Squad Rush Ribbon adds 200 points in itself and the MVP Ribbon adds 400 points in its original value. You will first see these points added in their original values. They will then get doubled as “ADDITIONAL POINTS” (600 new points). Your sum total for this round would then be (200x2)+(200+400)x2=1600 points instead of the 800 you would have received on a normal weekend. Easy! So in short, the scoring would look like this: Original End of Round Score: 200 Engineer Score: 400 (200 original points + 200 for Double XP) Squad Rush Ribbon: 200 MVP Ribbon: 400 Additional Score: 600 (Your ribbon score once more) GLHF Edited October 23, 2013 by JORDAN K 95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGPsaint Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Should I thank everyone who actually shared this on their Facebook since I will not be doing likewise??? Silly Facebook.

JORDAN K 95 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) so does that mean we get an extra 120 hours if we get enough retweets and shares?? i think its a maximum of 72 extra hours from facebook and 48 hours from twitter, so id say yes? UPDATE: same goes for twitter, the more retweets the more chance of more double xp. maybe we get 48 hours extra form twitter and 72 hours extra from facebook. -stay tuned. i will post the times and length of double xp when it is available. As of now: Twitter:there has been 5000 retweets which is 48 hours, as it says unlock up to 48 hours. Facebook: 20,000 shares, so another 48 hours of double xp. my time zone is GMT so i dont know if there is still chance for more double xp or if it has ran out. the original 48 hours, plus 48 from twitter plus 48 from facebook = 144 hours (which is 6 days) so basically its a double xp week Edited August 23, 2012 by JORDAN K 95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skillet Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 c4 gets annoying on close quarters. Learn to throw grenades on objectives. Server rules are annoying period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGPsaint Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hmm. I don't play all that often now that I'm playing in two Indoor Soccer Leagues, but I think that given a week, that I can rank up 10 or so times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBDrew84 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Learn to throw grenades on objectives Another good method is triggering the objective and then backing away. As long as it is blinking the person will still trigger the C4 then you can take the objective and still have a grenade. Also I noticed on Battlelog that it says Double Xp is now active. I am not sure if it is true but I am about to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeductiveNoodle Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 well then you have a wasted grenade... No, not at all. I find a wasted grenade is one that you don't use. If there is C4 on the objective and you end up blowing it up with a grenade you could have just saved yourself and teamates lives. And if you really think that's a wasted grenade than use the grenade specialization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
