Battlefield 3 has "aggressive DLC plan"

According to EA, Battlefield 3 has an "aggressive downloadable content plan" over the next 6 months, starting with Back to Karkand.

Hufandpuf5318d ago

2143 expansion please! and titan mode NEEDS to come back, the most original game mode I've ever played.

Eiffel5318d ago

I got to say, there was nothing more fun than being launched to the top of a titan and infiltrating. I think next to BF2, BF2142 was the most fun I had with Battlefield.

Hufandpuf5318d ago

yeah, the feeling of going from the ground, being launched int to air, and landing on a space ship (or whatever) then fighting your way to the control rooms in a small space, then racing to get off before it blows up. epic.

malol5318d ago

basically they want to milk us ??
not liking this

Kinggger5318d ago

@Kurt Russel and malol.

Any1 who preordered it get the dlc for free so thats good, got me excited haha

Ducky5318d ago

^ Only the BackToKarakand DLC is free for pre-orders.

The remaining DLCs will have a monetary cost.

As for those wondering if this is good or bad, the previous BF games also had DLC (they were called 'expansions' back then).
It remains to be seen if the DLC is any good, but if their recent BC2:Vietnam expansion is anything to go by, it'll be good.

BattleAxe5317d ago

So I guess we're going to see a whole bunch of "Mode Packs".

crxss5317d ago

DINOSAURS?? DINOSAURS?? DINOSAURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's all i want. would be willing to pay lots of monies for it.

iamnsuperman5317d ago

I know BF2 got expansions but who are we kidding. It is going to be like the BC2 DLC. Old maps/ current maps with new modes on them with a few newer maps. There was the Vietnam thing but how long did that take? Expect smaller more often DLC similar to what the BC series did. There was more older maps reshaped than big DLC

Ducky5317d ago (Edited 5317d ago )

^ DICE have admitted that the BC2 DLC idea wasn't good. Still, the BC2 DLC was free to first-hand purchasers.
Considering that the maps in BF3 support all game-modes, I don't think they'd be releasing 'game-mode DLCs'

DLC for BC2 was also slower because DICE got pinned the task of making MoH's multiplayer.

JellyJelly5317d ago (Edited 5317d ago )

As long as they don't treat us like Activision. They would never give away something like Back to Karkand for free.

And seeing how well they treated BFBC2 with the Vietnam pack I have high hopes for this DLC.

Kurt Russell5317d ago

The way they've done DLC for previous games I had no problem with. Vietnam was a bit different, and the VIP code seemed to be a worthwhile idea.

I don't want BF 2143 as a piddly little expansion for BF3, I want that to be a full game.

NCAzrael5318d ago

Yeah, I'd really like to see 2143 as a full game. Still, if I had to settle for it being an expansion I'd do it. Despite all of the glitches (being on a Titan while it was being moved was a huge pain in the ass) I think the game would be awesome on Frostbite 2. That and I miss my mech...

saladthieves5318d ago

If memory serves correctly, Titan mode was probably the best thing I played in multiplayer games. 2142, how I miss you so much.

MW3 DLC article: complains about how DLC crap needs to stop

BF3 DLC artcile: requests DLC

SJPFTW5317d ago

the only complaints about COD mappack is that they are overpriced for essentially only 5 maps

BF3 dlc are not map packs, they can be seen as expansions with not only new maps, but new weapons, new vehicles, new trophies, possibly new co-op missions etc etc.

irepbtown5317d ago

When Dice do DLC's it's actually worth it. Look at the Vietnam pack for BC:2, definitely worth it. Whereas cod you get couple of maps for a ridiculous price.

Didn't they add CO-OP with the Vietnam pack?
A whole new mode. If Dice do a COD (which i'm sure they wont) then i'll be disappointed, but for now I'm only thinking positive.

Rearden5317d ago

I think they'll make 2143 a standalone game a few years from now. Hopefully :)

StraightPath5317d ago

Multiplayer i guess so will be alright. campaign was huge dissapointment though.

Optical_Matrix5318d ago

From what I hear DICE supported BF2 with a huge wealth of great expansion packs so I'm looking forward to seeing what they do here. BF3 is the best multiplayer experience I've had with an FPS in my life. I'm addicted. So Im looking forward to seeing what maps, weapons and vehicles they bring with this DLC.

SageHonor5318d ago

Interesting, I guess ill wait just a wee bit longer before buying this

Hufandpuf5318d ago (Edited 5318d ago )

then you'll have to pay for online pass, plus expansions and miss out on the early promotion DLC. In other words: You'll be at a bigger disadvantage the longer you wait.

EDIT: Well then, see you on the battlefield.

SageHonor5318d ago

Im gonna buy the game new.. SO i will already have the online pass..

im waiting because i dont want a broken game..Im still hearing about glitches and trouble partying up with friends etc.

xPhearR3dx5318d ago

@SageHonor

Why not buy the game now while you can still get the expansion for free, and just not open it. Once you've heard it's been fixed to you liking, then open it, or return it for a refund.

StanSmith5318d ago

@xPhearR3dx

Or he/she could save their money until next year and pick up the inevitable GOTY Edition with the Karkland expansion plus other DLCs for half the price.

Lets face it, it's not like players will stop playing battlefield online in the next 6-7 months.

C_Menz5318d ago

Those aren't really issues, the majority of people don't experience any of those issues.

SageHonor5318d ago

The MAJORITY of my PSN friends are...

Dinossaurs aren't agressive. They are like turkeys. Giant, intelligent, flesh-eating and armed with claws kind of turkeys... Not agressive, just misunderstood.

Oschino19075317d ago (Edited 5317d ago )

That describes The Rolling Stones almost perfectly!

Ser5318d ago

Perhaps one day DICE will grant our wish.

IrishAssa5317d ago (Edited 5317d ago )

They're only aggressive if you describe them as turkeys

edit--bishops fuc*ed

If they want PC players to start going for their ridiculous Origin service, those DLC damn well better be free or near free in price

Exoil5317d ago

Yeah, cause with their expensive rigs they can't afford ten bucks for DLC!

Battlefield 3 Cut Missions From Campaign Detailed by Former DICE Dev

Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign

XiNatsuDragnel498d ago

I wish someone can get those EA game leaks to see all the cut content ngl

anast498d ago

Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

Johnh5223498d ago (Edited 498d ago )

Bf4 was fun hope the new bf is just as good.

hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D

Knightofelemia1283d ago

You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

MadLad1283d ago

We'll see what happens now that Zampella is overlooking the series.
