Come December 6, PlayStation 3 owners will be able to download Back to Karkand. The expansion includes four re-imagined maps (Wake Island, Sharqi Peninsula, Gulf of Oman, and Strike at Karkand) and three new vehicles (VSTOL fighter jet, Desert Buggy, and an APC) along with ten new weapons and five new dog tags. The expansion is free to owners of the Battlefield 3 Limited Edition, and $14.99 for everyone else.
Back to Karkand also debuts DICE’s new Assignments, which are targeted goals for players to complete in game. A post on the Battlefield Blog describes just how the Assignments will work.
Finally, the Back to Karkand trophies have been revealed. Think you’ll be able to earn them all? Take a look at the requirements below.
Complete Warrior (Silver) Get a kill with the following weapons in a single life: Rifle, Jet, Tank
Third Tour (Bronze) Get a kill with the new APC, Desert Buggy, and STOVL fighter jet
Gunslinger (Bronze) Get 10 kills with all B2K weapons
Like a Boss! (Silver) Get a kill with the skid loader
Jaws (Bronze) Take a swim in the pool at the Oman hotel
The Back to Karkand expansion pack hits just a week after Battlefield 3’s first client update. Between the bug fixes in the client update, and the new content in the expansion, Battlefield 3’s eight million players should be kept suitably busy for the time being.
Hey Ranters, will you be heading Back to Karkand next week? What do you think of the brief period of PS3 exclusivity for Battlefield 3 expansions?
The Battlefield 3 Back to Karkand expansion releases December 6 for PS3, December 13 for Xbox 360 and PC.
