Battlefield 3: Close Quarters

EA's Dice has officially announced 3 brand new DLC packages that will join the existing 13 maps the game already has. The first DLC will feature small maps with infantry only modes and will be called Close Quarters. The DLC is planned to be released somewhere during June and will feature brand new game types, new assignments to unlcok weapons for the DLC and the base game and new dog tags.

The second DLC Dice has announced is Armored Kill (any 1 else feeling DeJavu??) and will feature brand new vehicles. ATVs, tanks, mobile artillery and more! Some sources even say that the glorious UH-60 BlackHawk helicopter  will make a comeback and will be present. With that news I could finally shout in my Mic "BlackHawk down! I repeat BlackHawk down" and get the chills of being in a real war.
This DLC is planned to be released in the upcoming Fall/Autumn 2012 and will feature new assignments and dogtags like the first DLC.

The third DLC is called BattleField 3: End game. There is only limited information on this at the moment, but the release period for BF3: End Game is Winter 2012 (I know what will keep me warm this Winter, and its not my girlfriend...) .

 

Here is the press release---------

Today, DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) studio, demonstrates its ongoing commitment to fans by unveiling three new themed digital expansion packs* that will enhance the superior Battlefield experience with fresh and innovative gameplay, new modes, unique environments and more ways to wage all-out-war on the battlefield. Powered by the Frostbite™ 2 engine, the next expansion packs are: Battlefield 3: Close Quarters in June, Battlefield 3: Armored Kill in the fall, and Battlefield 3: End Game in the winter.

Battlefield 3: Close Quarters – In Battlefield 3: Close Quarters, players are dropped into a frantic, infantry-only theatre of war. Frostbite 2 high definition destruction makes the environment come alive as everything from furniture to plaster gets shot to pieces. Players will feel the intensity of the world exploding around them as rubble and broken pieces pile up on the floor, while tight level design and vertical gameplay create a highly competitive environment. Battlefield 3: Close Quarters also introduces new weapons, assignments and unique dog tags to bring back to the base game.

Battlefield 3: Armored Kill– Following the tight infantry gameplay of Battlefield 3: Close Quarters, DICE will release Battlefield 3: Armored Kill that ups the ante for vehicular mayhem as only Battlefield can do. Featuring new driveable tanks, ATVs, mobile artillery and more, Battlefield 3: Armored Kill also delivers huge battlefields for an all-out vehicle assault, including the biggest map in Battlefield history.

Battlefield 3: End Game – The fourth expansion pack will ship in the winter but details remain tightly guarded.

although i do not udnerstand dice in this move, battlefield is known for the vechile based and huge terrains maps. so why do they release a small maps DLC before the armored kill which will be what all the bf3 fans wanted , i think when dice partnered with EA they became greedy and now they try to take a portion of COD players into bf3 with the fast paced games and TDM in small maps . but thats just my opinion
