    A must buy and hopefully only the first of many map packs and add-ons! [Jan 2012]

    So good that it's become the only way to play Battlefield 3. Buy this now, and enjoy a bit of nostalgia in a new light. [March 2012, p.56]

    If you want an excuse to jump back into BF3 or you want to play Wake Island again, you should pick up this expansion. You'll have fun and you'll give that 2.7 GB of data a purpose to exist on your hard drive.

    To be honest, I don't know why people can rate it 0 , either they are on crack or get pissed on their own computer that can't play this awesome dlc.Seriously, the remake of BF2 is the best idea, wide maps with Freedom, with the destruction ability of frostbite 2, B2K is simply the most recommended dlc, at least not only remake of maps but also added new vehicles to the game . Though there is some bugs and glitches but it doesn't mainly effect the game. Good map pack , New assignments and vehicles, free for pre-order, worth any penny… Expand

    Looking forward to this all year, the closest map resemblance is Strike at Karkand. However the 'destruction' isn't as good as originally made out. It's still plagued by silly spawn areas, CPU leaks which cause temporary moments of lag (even with an i5 2500k), and vehicle spam. It's not Battlefield i'm afraid, they have successfully ruined the franchise comparing it with COD too much.… Expand

    These maps, sure they are well made but they should definately have been included in the base game. BF3 on launch had 9 (NINE!!) multiplayer maps... ffs, this is even less than had. This way, there is no way they can justify this DLC. Despite how good it might be. 9 maps is not close to enough content, Even with B2K "expansion" (its _NOT_ an expansion, its small map pack DLC ffs!) it is still not enough.. Not to mention that EA forces us to use Origin once more (yes i know they will do this for all upcoming releases, but i hate it i will point that out as long as they force us to use it.) and "Back to Karkand" dlc was a Day 1 dlc. It was developed AFTER the initial game. _do_not_buy_this_¨ http://steamcommunity.com/groups/ANTI-EA http://steamcommunity.com/groups/ANTI-EA… Expand
