    I gotta say that CQ feel isn't the pure Battlefield style and moves a little to the edge of a CoD formula. But it does surprisingly good to maintain a better height and gets a nice tone that is fun. Even though , getting shot without rest is very annoying .

    Great add on, not as good as the usual Battlefield formula but it works very well. The maps are all brilliant and gameplay is fast, I just wish they sectioned off the original BF3 maps to work with CQDOM, so we get more Close Quarters maps. The guns are brilliant too. Highly recommend getting this.

    Great BF3 expansion pack with a lot of action. New game modes and weapons are great addition.. Comparing this BF expansion to Call Of Duty is misguided in my opinion. I am big fan of both franchises and in my opinion this BF expansion is not COD wannabe. Only similarity if there must be one is that there are no vehicles and all fights are more intense and take place in small spaces. Having said that Battlefield feels more realistic, does not have perks etc. Battlefield feels like true warfare. Movements take more time to happen, weapons are not as precise. I love destruction HD in this expansion. Great buy for $15. Get it !… Expand

    Yeah the maps are good. For me though the inclusion of another 10 assignments is what will keep me playing. They force you to play out of your comfort zone & experiment with other setups. To some extent it's like playing a different game.
    "Get a kill with the E.O.D. bot"..... Good luck, took me ages.

    The increased frequency of kills, assists, neutrals and captures certainly act like metabolic steroids for your rank, feeding you XP like it's going out of fashion, and for some players that'll be enough to warrant Close Quarters' existence.

    In the second map pack of Battlefield 3, DICE clearly takes a cue from Call of Duty's signature gameplay by dumping the more open, sprawling battlefields the franchise is known for in favour of smaller, more intimate maps. [July 2012, p.93]

    Close Quarters is an extremely well-made expansion that contains a lot of entertaining battles, and the new maps have lots of great qualities. But it's hard to shake the feeling that DICE has been looking a little too much at Call of Duty.
