Battlefield 3 will be bringing back select maps from Battlefield 2, and now we know which ones. Word came from DICE community manager Daniel Matros on the EA forums (via NeoSeeker) that Wake Island, Strike at Karkand, Gulf of Oman, and Sharqi Peninsula will all be bundled in the "Back to Karkand" expansion.
The pack remakes the old maps with the spiffy new Frostbite 2 engine, and will be included as a one time use code with the Limited Edition. Matros says that the altogether, players have logged over 25,000 years in these four maps.
PC fans were disappointed recently by the cancelation of Bad Company 2's Onslaught Mode DLC on PC, and the Battlefield 1943 port. Those teams were funneled into the Battlefield 3 push, which is leading on PC.

not really. More content, easier to get to said content, cheaper than expansion pack prices. HOW DARE THEY MAKE THE GAME BIGGER AND ADD STUFFS?

What would be the choice of scripts to permanently hide all front page poster's comments? Friend or Foe? We don't need this drivel in our chatty.
That said --- BF1942 / BF2 had booster / expansions packs, and they were more expensive then the paid DLC released to date for BFBC2 - Vietnam. -
Mate, you're stuck in the past. I love these games and embrace the offer of more content. Plus, DLC IS FUCKING CHEAP AS FUCK generally, so take the padlock off your wallet. It's business, but if you're a fan of the game, I see now real downside. What's the most they'd charge you anyway? fucking shut up and save a little extra dosh from those few beers you were planning to have. I'm skint as fuck and I can always afford DLC, you cheap bastard. Also, I've had a few drinks tonight.....weeeeeeeeeeeee

The video is from an old post, yes: http://www.shacknews.com/article/67604/battlefield-3-gets-first-gameplay
It's just included to cut through the wall of text.

It's become a lot more apparent that EA/Dice is shooting to re-take the FPS crown from Call of Duty, but not necessarily by returning to the things that made BF2 great. I think people who are hoping for a BF2-like experience are going to be very disappointed but people that like Bad Company will probably be pleased.

The look of the game particularly. The footage that can be seen in the trailer really shows a more cinematic experience and much less of an open sandbox.

They should funnel some people into fixing BC2.

what's the likelihood that hell will freeze over? i'm sorry, can you re-state the question?

Logic has no place here.

EA didn't release NFS Hot Pursuit on steam until a month after it launched on PC.

Yea it should have been given to the assault class imo. Pick grenades or mortar not both.
-
Its not just that though. They also get the ability to see people trying to sneak up on them.
I guess DICE have some career snipers in their management. Must be fun playing on their LAN with half the management staff camped on the same hill having a circle jerk sniping down at the peons. Sounds like a normal day at EA.-
and? there's also the auto spotting scope. people don't use Q at all, so when I get pissed off, I get to snipe and spot at the same time because I get tired of the ground pounders running into drop an ammo box and throw grenades and 40mm spam and hope to spawn on a squadmate to continue the lols
I think I have 4 platinum sniper rifles in BC2 but I'm not a career sniper, so that means I get pissed off a lot at useless infantry combat

It would be awesome if I could toss c4 onto the ceiling and take out what they are laying on.
-
That seems like a very plausible solution in BC3. It also sounds fucking awesome!
-
-
Not to mention every single building had the same interior layout. Lazy

Jump from rooftop to rooftop like Morpheus!

Call a mortar strike on the building.

everyone says "dont do prone other wise the snipers will be too powerful" but actually when you are getting sniped the best thing to do is to go prone behind something. I missed that counter defense in BC2. I'd have to run to a building and get sniped instead of go prone behind a half height wall.

Been waiting for this game for nearly 6 years. DICE has always produced an excellent game, but it is exciting to see that they seem to be pulling out all the stops for this game. I have more hours logged in BF2 then any other game. I have no doubt BF3 will be no different.
