Battlefield 4 exclusive content on Xbox One

Battlefield 4 is coming later this year for both current and next gen consoles. At E3 DICE showed up at Microsoft’s press conference to show off some of what we can expect out of the newest entry into the Battlefield franchise. During the press conference they showed off the “Angry Sea” mission which highlights the intense action Battlefield 4 will deliver, from fighting alongside your squad as an aircraft carrier is ripped apart around you to hijacking an enemy attack boat while battling MIGS screeching through the sky.

Players that pre-order Battlefield 4 will receive the Battlefield 4 China Rising premium digital expansion pack at no additional cost. In this sprawling expansion, players fight for dominance across the vast and majestic Chinese mainland in four massive multiplayer maps, using all-new vehicles and high-tech military equipment. Separately, players that pre-order the Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe exclusively on Origin will receive the base game, bonus in-game digital items, the Battlefield 4 China Rising digital expansion pack and access to the exclusive Battlefield 4 multiplayer beta.

Another tidbit of information was released at the Microsoft press conference which surprised everyone. DICE revealed exclusive downloadable content for Xbox One with Battlefield 4: Second Assault. This post-launch DLC will include four fan-favorite Battlefield 3 maps re-imagined using the power of Frostbite 3.

With the announcement of this exclusive Battlefield 4 DLC, in addition to all of the Call of Duty exclusives that Microsoft has, it appears that the best platform for shooters in the next gen might indeed be Xbox One. Do you plan on picking up an XBox One or will you wait to see how things turn out and potentially get one later?
