Credit card billing cycle rolled over, so budgeted for / bought BF4 + Premium!
Went with the Standard Edition because I decided to go for Premium from the get-go, so I see no point spending another $10 for the BF3 shortcut bundle (everything I needed has been long unlocked). The battlepacks looks like they might include weapon attachments, so that might come back and haunt me, but that's a risk I'm gonna have to take.
As for Premium to start, considering how many servers basically run all expansions and are set as Premium only in BF3, that's $50 that is gonna get spent sooner or later anyways. I tried holding out in BF3, but really needed Close Quarters for the SPAS-12 and M417, despite not interested in those CQ maps at all.... So, just gonna spend it then be done with it for 2 years (hopefully).
See you guys at the end of the month! I'm gonna do DMR all-class (prefer using the same weapon for all-class so I get really used to it), Holosight + Magnifier (exact same setup as my paintball marker, EOTech 517.A65 + EOTech G33.STS), Heavy Barrel, whatever grip that offer first-shot accuracy (which sounds like will be the Angled Grip).
