They haven't released a Sharqi video yet. Just a general video showing all maps, Karkand, Oman, Wake. They'll probably release it next week when they release the pack on the PC.

it's kinda sad that everyone is literally begging for these 8 year old maps to be re-released now because we're all bored and tired with the cavalcade of bullshit they gave us in the stock game

Well, they already "leaked" the info and previews of the B2K maps before the release of the base game.
Those four maps are some of the all-time favourites and easily most played, so what do you expect?

The BF2 version of Wake Island also became an immediate favourite, although it is "just" a remake of the classic 1942 one.

I'm really hoping that DICE will see how popular these maps will be and will create real Battlefield style maps in the future instead of cramped chokepoint-fests, or huge maps with all the flags in a tiny cluster in the middle.

IMO, they could simply re-release all the BF2, SF, EF and AF maps. Well, most of them at least.

Thing is the base mechanics of BF3 are pretty damn good (4 man squads aside), the combat feels better than I expected it to, the vehicles are pretty balanced and generally the game is fun to play and gorgeous to look at. It really is just the maps that have caused BF3 to be such a cluster fuck at times, annoyingly it is the one thing that can be blamed on consoles, with half the amount of players I'm sure city maps we have now would be far better.

While size is an issue, it's as much the layout of the maps that's a problem, double the size of Bazaar and add a load more paths to flags and even that would be a good map, as it stands I want to quit the moment it pops up in a rotation.

I think you forget how bad Karkand could be on a 64 player server, if MEC locked down the sides, US would be pinned back to the uncaps for the whole round.

Having said that I am was quite disappointed with the size of the vehicle maps in BF3, do people remember how freaking big the combat area of Operation Cleansweep was? I'm sure it wasn't even the biggest but I think you could probably fit the combat area (by which I mean the flags) of Caspian/Firestorm into the 32 player version of Mashtuur City, Kharg is a little more spread out but even that doesn't come close.
Zatar and Hwy Tampa were an engineer's playground.   HUGE as fuck and a billion Vehicles. Got thousands of mine kills on Tampa.

So happy to see the beach flag, god I love the slaughter that occurs there.


Edit:  We need Op: Smokescreen also.

Battlefield 3’s Back to Karkand Live Now, But Not Without Problems



Battlefield 3's Back to Karkand Live Now, But Not Without Problems Battlefield 3's Back to Karkand expansion pack is live in Europe and hits the rest of the world this afternoon, if you own the Playstation 3. PC and Xbox 360 owners will need to wait until Dec. 13.

The worldwide roll-out, Electronic Arts warns, is experiencing some minor issues:

"Please use the Quick Match filter settings to pick the Back to Karkand map and mode you want to play. Going through the server browser right now will match you up with base game maps only. We are hard at work isolating and fixing this issue and will have an ETA on this later. Stay tuned for more information. In the meantime, using Quick Match will let you select and play on any map, from the base game or Back to Karkand."

The Back to Karkand expansion is free to everyone who purchased the Limited Edition version of Battlefield 3. Moments ago, the official Battlefield 3 blog posted that the pack was now out in Europe, Australia and New Zealand and that it would be hitting North America between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. PST today and hitting Japan and the rest of Asia on Dec. around 3 p.m. JST.

The above video shows some new gameplay from the expansion pack, all pulled from the Playstation 3. The Karkand pack comes with four Battlefield 2 maps recreated in the Frostbite 2 engine. The pack also includes three vehicles from Battlefield 2 and one new vehicle. It also comes with ten weapons from Battlefield 2. And, according to the blog, those weapons will be usable in all Battlefield 3 maps once you get the DLC.

Developers DICE say that players will be receiving an in-game pop-up window once Back to Karkand is live in their area.

It is sad though. I'm getting a bit excited for the Back to Karkand stuff and then I'm like, wait a minute, it's still gonna get boring and shitty after a week or two. I'm hoping that's not the case and I'm hoping that this helps bring back the Battlefield I know and love. My biggest complaint is the maps, and if they can fix that, great. But there's still tons of other shit wrong with this game that I'll soon get more annoyed at once other problems are solved.

Dare I say they even spread things out a little more? The roads, hallways, paths seem wider.

I want to see a comparison video of BF2 to BF3 footage of the new maps. Would be good to see how much has changed.

Yay, we've graduated from brown to gray. I think I need to poke around the videocard settings and adjust the colors, fix that retarded saturation.
