Crysis 3 Achievement listing suggests multiplayer DLC on the way

crysis 3 051613

Crysis 3 may be getting some multiplayer DLC, should some new Achievements which have come to light be any indication. According to Xbox 360 Achievements, the content comes with four maps: Ascent, Coastline, Creek, and Crossing. It also contains the modes Frenzy and Team Possession, the later of which is said to contain flag points. A new weapon called the boat oar will apparently be included as well, due to the Achievement listing: Totally Oarsome – Get a kill with a boat Oar (Public Match only). While Xbox 360 Achievements is pretty much spot on with these things, nothing is official yet as neither Crytek nor EA have announced the DLC. Thanks, Joystiq.
