Battlefield 4 REALLY Wants us Back; Cue ‘Player Appreciation Month’

As Battlefield-aholics will know, the latest installment hasn't fared too well since release. Bugs and general glitchy insanity have been rife, resulting in the usual shitstorm of negative publicity.

Gamers are notoriously grudge-happy, after all. And dickish in general. Some of these mad mofos are one step from going on a chainsaw decapitation rampage because a Call of Duty gun they like using was nerfed a little. In this sort of situation, then, some major appeasement is needed.

And, lo, DICE have pulled Player Appreciation Month out of their PR-savvy buttcracks. Because nothing says we're sorry we suck like a heaping helping of heavy weaponry for free.

Earlier today, Destructoid reported on the kinds of perks we can expect from the scheme. From February 1, there will be "...a double XP weekend (two for Premium members), daily Bronze Battlepacks on weekdays and Silver Battlepacks on weekends, voluntary shortcut bundles which will unlock all handguns and grenades for the base game, and more."
