Battlefield 3 Limited Edition Bonus Detailed
DICE is tempting gamers to drop a little extra scratch on the limited
edition of its upcoming shooter with a four-pack of multiplayer maps.
The Back to Karkand DLC is free to anyone who pre-orders the limited
edition, and contains four fan-favorite maps from Battlefield
2.
Lead designer Niklas Fegraeus answered "interview" questions about Back
to Karkand on a post
on the official blog. His reason for bringing back old maps as DLC
for BF3? "It’s pretty simple, really. These are evidently some of the
very best maps we have ever built. We have unquestionable data and
feedback from the community saying so."
I'm sure this DLC will flop because everyone buys Battlefield for the
single-player, right?
