    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]

    These four fantastic maps are pricey, but they're more than just a nostalgic throwback. They present Battlefield 3 at its best. [Mar 2012, p.74]

    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.

  1. Back To Karkand breathes new life into four of the the most beloved maps of Battlefield 2. Each map has been beautifully redone in the frostbite 2 engine bringing unrivaled visuals to these classic maps. As well as upgraded visuals, frostbite 2 brings titanic amounts destruction that gives these maps a true Battlefield feel. Also included, are 2 new assignments for each class and 2 extra assignments that allow the unlocking of 10 classic weapons from BF2. B2K is a must buy for any Battlefield fan. Expand
  2. The best Battlefield game yet. Highly ragequittable. Either incredibly fun, or incredibly frustrating. Don't see a lot of hackers. Way better for cheat free gaming, rather than say CODMW3. A must buyt...go get it now. Expand

    Haters gonna hate. I find Back to Karkand (first DLC i have ever paid for!) pretty good as it gives you almost the half of the actual game at a... normal (?) prise. Having 4 new maps is sure nice, when you think about how many maps the game now haves. Maps are quite good, weapons too, vehicles same... Still only a DLC but a good one. Only for hardcore BF3 fans. But still nice. 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.
