(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The title pretty much says it all. This late into BF4 is it worth buying Premium or just getting the DLC separately?

I already own China rising. I got that for free with BF4. So I'm only missing the Naval one and the Second Assault which comes out to 30USD where as the premium is 50USD.


I know with the premium I get some guns, some camos, some knives, and a few other things.


With BF:H coming out (which I think is just a filler until BF:5 comes out) I might get it (BF:H) but I'm not 100% on it, as it looks like it could've just been DLC for BF4.


I'm looking for thoughts from those of you who have just bought the DLC individually, and those of you who have bought the Premium.

Don't get prem or the other maps. I have the prem and I have the maps and let me tell you how often I play them. I don't because they are terrible. I love the normal maps and I shouldn't have wasted my money on them but I did like an idiot. Save the money you'll spend on the maps for something better (not bf hl) because that game is gunna be shit. Should have been a DLC addon for bf4

I can see this point. There is one trophy I can't get right now though because of DLC. That's the one where you have to win a round of each game mode because a piece of DLC is required to play the launch game mode. I can't remember right now which one it is, but I know it's one of them.

Help me save money and share the premium? =D

If you're not going to pick up hardline sure.
From what I played so far Naval is the better set of maps but SA/CR are not bad too. Just not put much time into them due to the fact you're forced into playing the same old maps every round. Makes sense from a matchmaking point of view.
Don't feel that it worth the money for the maps or premium that just me.
Going against the idea of maps packs now.
Content you do get is pretty good Smile

If you play BF4 a ton and have some spare money they are worth it just maybe it worth checking the server stats how many custom ones are on offer.

I highly doubt I buy another COD, and I'd like to get into BF more. I just don't know of Premium and/or the maps are worth it.

I dont know how much each map pack costs, but as far as i know you get all the dlc with premium, that means CR, SA, NS, and the new coming dragon teeth dlc, along with the other premium benefits including battlepacks and other good stuff.
I'd go with getting premium unless you're willing to invest in the new BFH Smile

SA & NS are 14.99 a piece. That's still only 30 dollars. If Dragon Teeth is the last DLC, that's still only 45 dollars, 5 dollars shy of the 50 for Premium.

I already have the China one so I don't count that.


The battlepacks do sound nice though.

I am undecided on BF:H as of right now.

I'm seeing a good mix of buy it, and don't buy it.

If I get BF:H I highly doubt I get the DLC unless it really takes off on my friends list. I'm having a hard time trying to get people to play. People still seem to be too wrapped up in modding the PS3 to move on to the next generation.
