14 DAY TRIAL // DICE, the developer of the Battlefield 3 first person shooter, has revealed a few more details about the three recently announced expansions for the game, promising to fans that they’ll deliver completely new experiences.
Battlefield 3 appeared last October and, since then, has only gotten one major expansion, in the form of Back to Karkand.
This is in harsh contrast to the likes of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which is receiving lots of new maps and levels in recent months.
Earlier this week DICE revealed that three major add-ons were coming this year for Battlefield 3, each centered around different aspects of the multiplayer mode.
The Swedish studio has now posted a statement about the expansions, promising that players will receive different types of experiences with each of the add-ons.
"Instead of delivering piecemeal map packs, we're giving players a completely new experience with every themed expansion pack to keep the action fresh," the studio revealed. "Our expansions are designed to excite our large and active fan base while attracting new recruits with gameplay that is dynamic and unpredictable every time."
The next expansion for the game is called Close Quarters, which brings new maps and weapons, as well as new assignments for certain multiplayer modes. As its name suggests, the add-on focuses heavily on small maps that emphasize quick reactions and great close quarter combat skills.
After the release of the add-on in June, Battlefield 3 players will be on the receiving end of another expansion, in the form of Armored Kill. This brings larger maps, including the biggest level in the franchise’s history, as well as new drivable tanks, ATVs, mobile artillery, and much more.
Closing off the expansion set for Battlefield 3 is the appropriately named End Game, which arrives in winter. Unfortunately for eager fans, details about the add-on are a close kept secret, as DICE is preparing some big surprises in terms of content.
