Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand Expansion Pack Details

New Maps, Weapons, Vehicles, and more.

     Prepare for some brand new, possibly epic, Battlefield 3 content with the upcoming release of the Back to Karkand expansion pack. You may be wondering what dazzling new features and goodies are to come. Well all you need to do is stick around here and we will "fill you in" on the details.

Who Gets a Shot at this Killer Content First?

     Don't you just hate exclusive content releases? Why should someone on, for example, a Playstation 3 get some sweet Battlefield 3 content before Xbox 360? Well that appears to be the case with Battlefield 3. The Back to Karkand expansion pack hits the PSN on December 6th. All of you Xbox Livers (is that what they call them) have to wait a week following the PSN release. Oh well, it is not like Xbox Live gets content for a game like, I don't know, Call of Duty a full freaking month before the Playstation.

New Maps

      
     To expect everything but some new multiplayer maps would be ridiculous for Battlefield players. Luckily those kind fellows at DICE understand what is going on in the common addictive gamer's mind (please feel free to challenge me on that in the comments). Yep, DICE has completely revamped and revisioned 4 classic maps from Battlefield 2. Expect to be both mentally and physically (in the game that is) blown away with a blast from the past.

Expect to see the completely Frostbite 2-ified:
Wake Island
Sharqi Peninsula
Gulf of Oman
Strike at Karkand

New Vehicles
     Here come some brand new vehicles! The Back to Karkand expansion pack is bringing three new playable vehicles. Now players can wreak havoc from the sky in the Stovl Fighter Jet, traverse through rough terrain in the Desert Buggy, and unleash wave upon wave of rounds from the New APC.

New Weapons
     Details are vague and unconfirmed as of now, but what you should expect to see with the Back to Karkand expansion pack is 10 brand new weapons. So far there is no word on which weapons specifically, but hopefully that information will be released soon.

  What else is there?

• Classic Conquest Assault from Battlefield 2
• 5 New Trophies and Achievements
