BF3 Back to Karkand shots arrive, tout December release
EA has sent over screenshots for Back to Karkand for Battlefield 3. The DLC contains remasters of four maps from the franchise: Strike at Karkand, Wake Island, Gulf of Oman and Sharqi Peninsula. It also includes five new dog tags and achievements/trophies, and three new vehicles: the DPV, BTR-90, and F-35B STOVL jet fighter. Also included are 10 “iconic Battlefield weapons,” and a new persistence system where players complete assignments to earn their rewards.
The DLC will be made available in December, for free to those who pre-ordered and £11.99 for those who didn’t.

Sounds like this is going to be like the Vietnam expansion in that it’s separated from the regular game. I hope not but no big deal if it is. I’d just rather have more maps in the regular rotation.

@7 Well yes in a sense XD You either have the maps and play them or you don’t have the maps and can’t play
