    DICE have another winner on their hands with this DLC and if you're looking to spice up your Battlefield 3 experience and need something different, than Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand is a fast and affordable way to get your fix.

    It's a great expansion pack for every BF3 fan out there. If you haven't preordered, you're going to pay for it, but the contents are frankly very interesting.

    Return to Karkand it's worth every cent spent on it. Not just 4 maps, but also vehicles, weapons and and a new game mode. Definitevely fresh air for Battlefield 3.

    Four maps, ten weapons, three vehicles, a new gameplay mode... Maybe the contents in Back to Karkand are strictly obtained from Battlefield 2, but there are so many things to enjoy here that is hard not to recommend this DLC despite its lack of innovation.

    It's an amazingly well execution at reviving these classic maps that are rather legendary for the series, with very entertaining new weapons and vehicles to wreak havoc with. Assignments makes unlocking the new weapons a fun and entertaining task that brings new and interesting challenges to the table. The content was far better and more unique than I could have ever expected, and you are free to walk back to the original BF3 and show off your new toys and tags from Back to Karkand. Expand
  2. All of the maps are incredible , and because its free its an a outstanding DLC that needs to be downloaded in the moment you pop the BF3 disc in your console . Not only is awesome, its probably the best DLC in the shooter genre to date . Expand
  3. Pretty good expansion. I was hoping for larger verisons of these maps like BF2. But playing on console, they have to make things a bit smaller. The addition of new vehicles and weapons is awesome. Hopefully the next DLC has a similar amount of content. Good job Dice Expand
  4. This game SUCKS! Don't waste your money! The game is full of cheaters and glitches! The makers basically admitted as much in the last update but somehow they made it even worse! Expand
