OXCGN:
"Sure, the whole concept and execution of Premium has been debated before, and no doubt continues to be a hot topic among online gamers, but this sort of model seems to be the future of DLC map packs and expansions.
With that, the fourth and latest expansion for BF3 has been released, titled Aftermath.
The new expansion provides new maps, vehicles, as well as a new game mode and weapon for players to experience. It also allows me to make really bad Earthquake-related puns throughout this review."
Ben Gray, VGTODAY: "Battlefield Premium was introduced as a response to rival Call of Duty’s Elite; with a price tag that verges close on equalling the base game itself, it promised access to all five expansions and a fair load of other bonuses. Now that Battlefield 3’s major post-game support has finally reached its close, did Premium live up to expectations?"
Microsoft and Major Nelson have revealed the titles that will be available in today’s one day sale on Xbox Live.
To be honest, the sale is a tad disappointing. The oft discounted Fallout 3 expansions are all there, as well as the already cheap Dishonored Dunwall City Trials.
However, the Assassin’s Creed 3 Season Pass is decently cheap and gives you access to all of The Tyranny of King Washington content. Likewise, the penultimate Battlefield 3 expansion, Aftermath, is also at a great price.
What a joke.I can get the full games cheaper on the internet. And,the Fallout 3 dlc is ridiculous. No one is playing that anymore.
Nothing too appealing.
Fallout DLC is alright if you have't played em!
I'd really love to see some more Games on Demand sales at good prices. Those were the kinds of sales that were almost as good as Steam.
I bought the AC3 season pass so I'm pretty happy with this sale :)
GamingLives takes a look at the Battlefield 3 expansions Aftermath and Armored Kill.
"When Battlefield 3 was first released it provided players with an atmospheric and detailed theatre of war with the high quality you would expect from the series. One of its strongest selling points was the vehicular combat, large open maps and the extra layer of strategy that this combination brings to the table. It came as little surprise then, that one of Battlefield’s expansion packs would focus on expanding an already diverse complement of vehicles and providing even bigger maps for budding soldiers of war to exert some strategic flair over large open terrain. At least, that would be the plan if you could get enough competent people to form something resembling a team, which unfortunately isn’t the only problem with this ambitious extension into open warfare, because for every smart and intuitive new feature, there will be someone or something that tarnishes its impact."
Really enjoying this expansion.
I'm still more a close quarters fighter.
Bet Battlefield 4 is announced this year though!
