The countdown to our first Battlefield 3 expansion pack Back to Karkand continues. This week, we have new gameplay footage from our reimagining of all-time classic map Gulf of Oman. Plus, more info on the new vehicles you will be able to take control of come December.


Check out this gameplay trailer from our reimagined version of Gulf of Oman. Like in previous Back to Karkand trailers, you can see some of the new vehicles in action here. The three combat vehicles that we are bringing back from Battlefield 2 in Back to Karkand are the STOVL fighter jet, desert buggy, and one of the APC’s.

"I wanted to complement what we already have in the base game, plus I wanted to bring back some of the classic vehicles from Battlefield 2 that we know players loved, such as the Short Take-Off/Vertical Landing fighter jet and the desert buggy. In today’s trailer, you can also get a first glimpse of a hitherto unannounced fourth vehicle bound to strike fear into the very hearts of the enemy. See if you can spot it!", said Back to Karkand Lead Designer Niklas Fegraeus.

Come back later for more details on Back to Karkand. We have more videos coming your way, and more details on the new Back to Karkand weapons that you can bring back to the base game.

I love the maps, its a very nice addition to an already awesome game!

The maps are fine, CQA is terrible though. It's hard enough to assault as a cohesive team. It's almost impossible with randoms.

yea BF2 was like that back in the day very unbalanced, makes it harder but i like a good challenge but if you have an awesome team on the other side you can't even make a dint witch is unbalanced in my eyes

Yo be honest guys I am not a fan of the B2K mags due to the following reasons:

glitchy
IFV/LAV turrets move at different speeds to the ones on other maps
steering the vehicles is different to other ones
Conquest Assault - I really hate this, why not remaster the map to normal conquest?

For these simple yet complicated annoying reasons I tend to avoid playing these maps cos IMHO they are shitttttttttttttttttttttttt.

The problem is that you have to play them if you want to get the assignment unlocks. It's like two full hours each on three of the maps.
