EA Reveals Month Long Battlefield 4 Battlefest

Written by Brandon Hofer on July 09, 2014

News: EA and DICE have revealed a “festival” that will be taking place over the course of the month where gamers can win both physical and virtual prizes.

EA has just revealed that they are kicking off a special event called Battlefest. This is a festival filled with weekly rewards, contests and in-game content. According to EA there will be a ton of prizes, including graphics cards and three gaming PCs, provided by AMD. In addition to Battlefest, EA said that the DICE teams in Stockholm and Los Angeles are continually working on improving the gameplay experience, adding new initiatives like the CTE environment, and also developing the next two expansion packs with Battlefield 4.

To start Battlefest, EA has revealed that they are giving everyone a double XP weekend from July 12-13, so if you need to level up your game, now is a good time to start or get back in the game. the 12th also marks the first day of their daily contests (called Battleshots) where they are asking you to send in a screenshot in Battlefield 4 based on a different theme requirement. Each daily winning entry will receive an AMD graphics card, $50 gift card to the DICE store, and a Battlefield Premium membership on their platform of choice.

Beyond the daily Battleshot contest, these other initiatives that will be going on during Battlefest:

Free Camo Unlocks

Each week new camo will be releasing in-game for all players. This will give you more ways to standout in the battlefield.

Community Missions

Each week EA will be hosting a global community challenge to reach a specific goal in-game. If you reach the goal, everyone who logs in will receive a free gold Battlepack the following week. The first mission starts on July 15, 2014, where you will have to collectively reach 15 million revives across all platforms, with the mission ending on the eve of July 20.

Stunt Video Competition

This is a month long contest where EA wants you to send your best stunt video that can only be done in Battlefield 4. Once they receive the submissions, the DICE team will pick the top 12 and then you will vote on the top three winners to win a massive prize.
