Battlefield have announced three new themed Battlefield 3 expansion packs are on the way! Get up close and personal with "Battlefield 3: Close Quarters" which will be arriving this June, then get ready for all-out vehicle warfare with Battlefield 3: Armored Kill arriving this fall (featuring the biggest map in Battlefield history!)
Each expansions carries its own theme, with Close Quarters focusing on "tight infantry gameplay in tight indoor environments," the addition of four new maps and 10 new weapons, and the Frostbite 2 engine's "HD destruction," creating new ways to play the game.
Key Features:
Get plunged into frantic and relentless infantry combat
Check your corners as death can come from any angle
HD destruction lets you reduce entire locales to ruin
Earn new weapons and bring them back to the base game
Complete new assignments and equip unique dog tags
Play in new ways, mixing team play and instant action
The HD Destruction in Close Quarters lets players riddle the environment with bullets allowing everything from furniture to plaster to be shot to pieces resulting in a pile up on the floor.
The tight level design and many opportunities for vertical gameplay mean players will need to bring their A game if they want to stay alive in this highly competitive theater of war.
UPDATE:
