Battlefield 3 double XP this weekend

Plus, early Close Quarters access for PC and Xbox 360 goes live.

All XP earned in Battlefield 3 multiplayer this weekend will be doubled, EA has announced.

The offer starts at 8.01am UK time on 16th June and runs until 7.49am on 18th June. It's valid in matches across all maps and modes on ranked servers.

On top of that, all PC and Xbox 360 owners who've signed up to the new Battlefield Premium service get early access to the Close Quarters DLC from today, following its PS3 roll-out last week.
