The final expansion for Battlefield 3, End Game, will add a couple of new modes, four new maps, and new vehicles to the mix.

According to the official Battlefield site, End Game's two new modes include classic capture-the-flag action and the return of Battlefield 1943's Air Superiority mode. The latter mode was unlocked after the 1943 community racked up 43 million kills. In it, teams participate in large-scale dogfights, with the goal of having more aircraft in the sky than the opposing team.

The expansion also adds dropships, which can be used to quickly deploy troop transport into the field. There's no word on the new maps or what three of the four new vehicles will be (aside from one being a dirt bike). 

EA hasn't provided pricing details, but if the game's previous downloadable expansions are any indication, players can expect to pay about $15 for it. If you're a member of Battlefield 3's premium service, you'll get it two weeks before everyone else at no additional cost. End Game is currently slated for a March release.

    $15 dollars for DLC on a two year old game?? That's a lot but it is a pretty good game.

    Cant wait for them to bring Battlefield 4 out this year. Hopefully it is coming to Wii U.

    Wow, Air Superiority sounds like fun, hopefully it doesn't end up like Tank Superiority.

    Man thats really cool! Im glad that mode is coming back, although I do wish you could download it by itself for maybe less or preferably free so you didn't have to drop 15$ on the whole thing...

    Premium is awesome. :) While Air Superiority wasn't good in 1943, I can see myself loving it in this.

    4 maps alone for 15 bucks seems a good deal for bf3, the maps are all really well designed.. hopefully there's at least one really big map in the pack

    I like that its going to try and focus on air craft dog fights. I haven't been playing BF3 for a few months because I was busy with Halo 4, Medal of Honor Warfighter(After update it's much better). and Assassins Creed 3. I need to rack up my fighter jets because I don't have the guided missile to attack ground targets.

    Sounds good... Now start working on Dinosaur mode for Battlefield 4.

    EA always wants to compete with COD? Dino mode would blow zombies out of the water.

    And another game mode that would have been there since release for free if EA would have given us the development kits.

    But nah, it's EA, they can't sell mods.

    sounds like cool DLC, new maps, vehicle and weapons better deal then just new maps.

    Air Superiority mode will suck because all the Battlefield crybabies will throw their usual fits about "OP" vehicles and get everything nerfed. That's why I stopped playing this garbage.

    This is going to be awesome! I may not be the best pilot but if everyone is forced to fly I won't be the worst!

    Considering that one map in battlefield is the size of 5 or 6 maps in call of duty, that's not too bad. Dice also includes new vehicles and weapons in all of their map packs.
