Looks pretty good. Haven't played BF in awhile so this should bring me back in to it :)

Those skins all look different, except for the sniper. Curious.

As much as I totally love battlefield (over 550 hours of multiplayer gameplay over bad company 2 and BF3) as a rush player the season pass has dissapointed me. Close quarters had no Rush AK is just far to big for 24 players and the gunship ruins rush and now this DLC is catered to yet another new game mode. I am pretty dissapointed by the lack of Rush focused content. Especially considering that on consoles Rush is the most popular game mode. Im sure this DLC will be good but just wish we had more medium sized maps for rush :(

Looks like there is going to be some environment events in the maps such as Aftershock's in while the match is being played. Sounds cool. Can't wait!

B2K was awesome, CQ turned the game into Call of Duty and any other fast paced shooter and AK had stupidly large maps for the player count. Hopefully this will restore my faith a little.

Im seriously expecting a Return of the Jedi senario of dipshits firing arrows at tanks like a bunch of retarded Ewoks firing at AT-STs.

First CQ, now crossbows? Sheesh. Go back to the tried-and-true BF2 formula (the real BF2, not that Bad Company crap), which is huge, wide-open landscape, LOTS of vehicles and LOTS of capture points miles apart.

@13 That's exactly what Armored Kill is about...

- huge, wide-open landscape -> check
- LOTS of vehicles -> check
- LOTS of capture points miles apart -> check

Fix the piss poor hit detection and I might reconsider playing this game again.

I know many yearn for huge open maps with lots of vehicles but keep in mind that 360 servers can only support up to 24 players in a map. I enjoy Armored Kill but when you factor that each team has at least 3 players constantly in the air (two jets and one helicopter for ex) the logic is actually 9 vs 9 on these wide open maps which makes conquest feel like a game of "whack-a-mole".

I can't wait for the opportunity to play Aftermath. Medium size maps will hopefully make this the best DLC yet. DICE your team is amazing. Keep up the great work!

Hit detection is fine, there is just bullet drop and distance to allow for

Why can't we have good DLC like BFBC2: Vietnam? These close quarter urban warfare DLCs are a complete waste. When I think Battlefield I think of epic maps, vehicles, and destructible environments and not these cod ripoff DLCs.

Using a crossbow in BF is like throwing a shoe across the room. And honestly, who throws a shoe across the room? The only way I see this being cool is if I'm shirt less and am wearing a red bandana.

@2 To add some info there, i rechecked the trailer a few times and compared the skins with the normal BF3 skins, they are the same, only difference is they not wearing a helmet in this trailer. As been stated in the BF3 net, aftermath takes place short after where in the campaign a huge explosion almost got you killed by an collapsing building, here starts aftermath, completely shocked and with a city in ruins and dust renders visability, this it the stage where aftermath plays.
As much as i enjoy BF3 from time to time and being a premium member sinds i bought the premium edition for BF3 i woudn,t mind another Battlefield Bad Company to be honest. And yes a WWII frostbite powered game with added MP set not in the pacific but in europe would be awesome, so Dice ;)

how awesome would it be Scavenger mode was like a mini Dayz sorta thing, start with a knife have to find weapons and ammo, and they are hard to find, not a bright blinking icon.

Things I noticed from the trailer-

- It looks like you can now pick people up off the ground instead of using defibs.

- They now have a zulu/waypoint option, similar to Rainbow Six Vegas 2, complete with hand motions.

- Earthquakes can happen mid battle

- Explosions can now knock your character off of their feet (could get really old, really fast, ala Max Payne 3).

- Slow motion death scenes. I wonder if this will affect other players and slow their game down too?

@28 i think the trailer is just a trailer not a gameplay trailer, so what happened is as if it were in a cutscene or trailer
OT: DLC looks awesome cant wait, just gotta wait a little while before i get premium, i know its gunna be worth it :D

*@28 i think the earthquakes mid game would be kinda cool if not annoying at the same time, with the frostbite engine if buildings fell too with the aftershocks that would certainly make the gameplay very interesting :D

@20 hit detection is far from fine! There is zero bullet drop to allow for at point blank range. Numerous times I've emptied whole clips into people from 5 feet away and yet they don't die, despite me getting constant hit markers. I'ts bullshit
