Battlefield 3

EA to Unveil New Battlefield 3 DLC Next Week
Written Friday, February 03, 2012 By Lee Bradley

EA is set to reveal Battlefield 3's first proper post-launch downloadable content.

Speaking during the publisher's recent quarterly financial report, EA's President of Investor Relations, Peter Ausnit, said the content will be detailed at a New York event next week.

Back to Karkand - a collection of maps, weapons and vehicles - was released late last year, but that was available from launch with pre-orders and special editions - so it totally doesn't count. We liked it, by the way. Dan said it, "put the 'umph' in 'triumphant return."

There's a bit more speculation there, esp on possible locations :P Looking forward immensely to more maps for my favourite FPS of the last year :P

Cannot wait! I've seen rumours that it's an "All American" pack with maps set in American cities. Should be cool if so, I enjoyed homefronts mp maps, and then end frostbite 2 to the mix! Umph indeed!

MW3 is better in every way. Campaign, voice talent, graphics, interface, co-op, achievement ease, etc. The only reason i haven't stopped playing this yet is because BF3 was clever enough to add achievements for mp beyond the co-op.

@ 1 - yes....ahem, well. No accounting for taste.

I traded MW3 in for Final Fantasy 13-2 on Tuesday. Yes I traded a COD in for a convoluted Japanese RPG. The FF13-2 DEMO was more fun than MW3 in it's entirety. IW and Sledgehammer should be ashamed of what they've done to the series.

@ 40 true and true, and I may add that compared to BF3, going back to MW3 was like playing a cartoon. The graphics are terrible.

Any excuse to play BF3 fresh again is awesome. Just dove back in last night after a hiatus away playing Borderlands and after a couple messy warmup games everything fell into place and felt right with the world.

Except Back to Karkand *wasn't* available from launch, they were still working on it for about a month and a half after the game's release. We just got it for free if we had the aforementioned editions. (The data wasn't on the disc already either, as the required patch was two gigabytes in size.)

We'll see. I have almost 200 hours online but stopped playing a week ago. Not playing again until they have a balance patch. Sick of playing a game with so many options where everyone else jsut uses FAMAS or USAS with FRAG Rounds. Boring.

Anyway, I would love to see a city map somewhere in a night area similar to NYC or Amsterdam. Shooting a giant billboard on some unlucky person would be a good chuckle.

Absolutely i am correct, i stand by my remarks. I'm not ADHD, i don't care if the environments are 100% destructible, i care about story, the game not being lame, not being loaded with bugs, i also don't give a crap about driving vehicles. Sandman is so much better than the annoying, annonymous marine from BF3. I see playing BF3 as some form of punishment from crimes committed in a past life.
