Damn, BF3 has sold 10 million copies. That is impressive. Not CoD numbers, but extremely high numbers nontheless.

Also, next week the new DLC will be announced at some event. Hoping it's done like the Karkand one, having 4 or 5 maps and a batch of new guns and maybe even a new game mode. I'm expecting 2142 Titan based game mode with aircraft carriers

Apparently the DLC is rumored to be called "All America", with the maps being based in places obviously in the U.S., in particular, maybe New York? Not really hoping for another map like Siene Crossing or Grand Bazaar unless they expand the destruction and add abit more exciting areas to them, but we'll see. I'm just excited for the possibility of new weapons and really, there aren't any maps I hate in BF3 so far, there are just different styles of map that depend on my playmode

Amazing sale time! Buy Mass Effect 3 before March 5th on Origins and get a digital copy of Battlefield 3 for free. BF3 is a game worth owning on it's own, but free with another good game? Pretty sweet deal.

And this does count for if you buy the console version through the Origins page, though it doesn't change the copy of BF3 you get, it's PC only for that, but really, why would you buy it for console? That's just silly!

Not sure what happened to the possible DLC announcement, but it's gotta be coming up next month I'm sure. Though what is coming out next month is a MAJOR patch. Probably the biggest one yet that tweaks nearly everything in the game, in particular, weapons got many individual changes. There is simply too many tweaks to post, so check it out in the website below lol

And FINALLY they announced the next expansion packs, all three having a specific theme about it. The BF purists will rage at the next maps being more like Metro, Siene, and Grand Bazaar with close quarter design. As with Karkand, it will have 4 maps and 10 new weapons. The second pack is Armor Kill, that'll bring big vehicle action. And the final one is End Game, but no information on that one. I kinda hate that they are waiting till June to release the next pack though. That'll be 6 months between releases.

Great to see they are promoting better destruction to as seen with Karkand, so I'm hoping we'll see more wall destruction this time around in comparison to other close quarter maps.

The only time I'm sucking, is in jets. I'm an average pilot, but all it takes is someone with a joystick, which that alone seems like a huge advantage to me, but if they know how to use it, there's no point in flying. They'll outmaneuver me every time. Very annoying lol

Been years since I've played an FPS. I played battlefield 2 pretty hardcore for a long time. But never got into the bad companies or call of duty.

So i'm pretty bad right now :p

I'm sure one i know the levels better it will better. As it is now wander like an idiot and get shot.

Anyone been playing the Close Quarters expansion? Curious how it was and no, I don't care that the maps are small lol Was just wondering how good they are for what they are. All the big maps are coming with Armored Kill. I plan to get the expansion soon once I can buy the Premium deal, which is actually a pretty good deal to get.

I can't take that for much, cause I just think that is coming from someone that wants only big maps lol While I agree the bigger maps are better, I can still enjoy smaller maps. If it's like CoD, it's just a better way to play maps like that instead of playing lame CoD lol I was mostly just gonna grab it for the guns anyways, especially since the next pack doesn't have any new guns.
