I really want to play BF4 and I enjoyed BF3 but it got to the point where I couldn’t play BF3 because all of the servers are premium. Does this happen on BF4? 50 bucks is just a hefty investment for “bonus” perks. ---

All you get is queue priority, I don’t think you get premium only servers. (I could be wrong) If you like getting a bunch of skins new knives, a bunch of gold battle packs , access to exp bonus weekends, queue priority and access to dlc early then I’d buy it. ---

back when i didnt have the premium there were a few times that i couldn’t join a server because of premium maps. but maybe times i would just connect to other servers and play just fine. some of the maps on premium are pretty nice (compared to the ones on standard), and you do get a few more things like emblems, dog tags, guns, etc. ---

If you plan in getting the map packs the I would go ahead and get premium but if not you’ll only really miss out on some guns and attachments. The rest of the stuff is just cosmetic or more convenient. ---

And you save ten bucks on the DLC and don’t have to worry about paying for it later. ---

I would say yes, I’ve been premium since BF3. And with all the shit they just hand to you plus getting DLC early it’s worth it. You save money in the end so unless you plan on playing Vanilla BF4 for the rest of your time with the game then, yeah get premium.
