DualShock Nexus: The new trailer for Battlefield 3's upcoming DLC Armored Kill, is out now and it doesn't disappoint. It looks as though one of the maps will give you the "cold" shoulder (Get it? Ha ha ha...okay). Check out the trailer and extra information below.

Usually it consists of an innuendo.
In most cases maybe, but I'm just that good.
It wasn't there before the spring patch but kids kept crying about it and how almost every gun was over-powered and they wanted to nerf the shit out of the game. Result was DICE actually gave them exactly what they wanted. The tanks became more like plastic, the helis were significantly nerfed. Terrible amount of recoil was added and the new CQ map pack!? That is absolutely NOT the battlefield game that we all know. That was a COD wanna be half ass bull**** game!
DICE ruined BF3 and I don't think I can ever return to it ever again. Not at least by looking at trailers and promo videos. I'll wait to hear from YOU guys, the gamers, the ones who really matter.
...to you?
CQC is okay, but it isn't battlefield.
As for premium I am so disappointed so many people are paying for it. You can disagree with me all day but if you sit down and listen to my logic here, you know I am right.
As the developer of the witcher 2 just stated (who made their game completely drm free on the pc btw) "game companies are over-exploiting gamers"
Now don't get me wrong, I totally want to support them including dlc. But having a grand total of a game come to $110, dlc or not is unacceptable.
The game cost $60. For that $60 you get the true game, all the time it took them to develop the engine, weapon mechanics, vehicle mechanics, gameplay, etc. Out of that process map design while important, really isn't the biggest time or resource waster.
That said, even if it is 20 maps (which most already have 4 of them from B2K, so its kind of a advertisement scam) it isn't worth the price of a full game all over again.
It's just crazy and sad that the community supports stuff like premium. I guess it's because the majority of the people get their mommy and daddy to buy it.
Armored Kill is gonna have me back in the BF3 drivers seat!
(well at least until Planetside 2 gets released)
That's why I don't trust any of the trailers that EA puts out for their Battlefield/Medal of Honor games, because the Xbox 360/PS3 versions are nothing like what they show :(
Should I buy PS3 now, or wait for the PS3 "super slim"?
I already have a PS3 but it's not looking so good. I'll play a game and it'll turn off. It'll beep and the light would turn yellow and back to red.
I stopped playing BF3 because I was getting bored. HOWEVER, I did buy the CQC maps. But then got bored again.
BUT THIS TRAILER is exactly the thing to get me excited again. The DLC alone is enough to kill this year's COD game. The cabin in the open-spaced Snow map reminded me of Bad Company 2.
CAN'T WAIT, SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They will just be paying extra now, because you can't get a refund for the maps you already bought, so they messed up..
To anyone still on the fence just get premium - http://bit.ly/NkKhI2

If you have the limited Edition of Battlefield 3 you get B2K for free... that's free for all limited editions (people who pre-ordered BF3 or got lucky and bought a Limited edition copy from somewhere)
Now if you bought CQ -(close Quarters) then you paid 14.99 which is the full price.
and when you get Premium, there is no discount or refund for CQ or B2K
-Premium is already a discount Price and includes all the DLC - so if you buy Premium you are getting each DLC at 9.99 instead of 14.99 each
Now here is the kicker, if you bought CQ and maybe you bought B2K you can't get your money back for those- Premium is still 49.99 and it includes those maps..
So you end up paying 49.99 for premium and 14.99 + 14.99 depending on if you bought both B2K and CQ before you bought premium meaning you paid = 79.97 total.
So always get Premium if your thinking about getting the maps... -better to just go Premium then buying each DLC

Had I just played the base game and waited and not bought Karkand, BF3 premium would have been an insta-buy for me, because I love the game, it's my goto FPS multiplayer game, but now that I've already bought Karkand, I feel like 49.99 is a bit of a rip off.
If I can find a sale or a way to get at least 10 dollars off of it, then I'll get it.
They had better redeems themselves with the new one and it looks like they will.
If even one of those map packs turn out crappy, you really aren't ahead if you have been playing since day one.
I can deal with waiting an extra two weeks and missing out on some skins. I don't spend money on that which I have no idea what to expect from.
Seriously, look at how many people play this game and look at the content they keep releasing. It's hard not to keep coming back and saying:
"I've never played a better multiplayer shooter this year in 2012 so far"
isn't GOTY awarded to the best game (of a particular genre) of that year? don't think BF3 will even get a nomination...
but Battlefield 3 is probably the best shooter that money can buy at the moment no lie there. BLOPS comes in at a close second.
Solders running, you see the rocket artillery.
Next inside artillery, you see vehicles approaching.
In tank, you see the rocket artillery.

Either they record on all PCs simultaneously or this is the Battle recorder in action...

HOWEVER...
I'd like to see the trailer shot on the 360, since thats my current platform of choice. There would be a HUGE DIFFERENCE!
I have it maxed on PC and I can tell you the differences.
Better particle effects (explosion and smoke)
Higher anti-aliasing (no jaggies)
More players
Higher resolution
60fps is pretty nice (feels more fluid)
That is basically it, besides some of the maps having more capture points and the bigger maps like caspian have mobile AA guns.
@leogets : A "Few" extra players? Last I checked 64-24 = 40. That's more than a "few!" You have gigantic maps, and having 2.6x the number of players from console to PC makes an enormous difference. And the graphics aren't just crisper. They're 1080p vs 720p-upscaled.
@FragMnTagM : You're just plain wrong as well. Basicaly every bullet point you listed makes a huge difference. In fact, running at 60 FPS vs 30 FPS makes all the difference in the world, it isn't just "nice", especially at 1080p resolution.
You guys are acting like I'm hating on the game. Well, I didn't necessarily LOVE it on the 360, but I don't hate it. In fact, I applaud the vast technical leap the PC can output vs the current consoles. Don't downplay one of the biggest reasons console players should be envious of PC gamers & hobbyists. I know I am.
a few extra players.....that was quite funny.
I only play BF3 on PS3, but the PC version has HUGE advantages over the consoles.
grahf is completely right. I mean I don't even play Conquest on PS3 because the maps are too big and there are not enough players to fill it. you spend more time looking for a battle then you do actually shooting.
The player count is one of the biggest problems with the console version.
I have GOT to get Premium soon.
OT: There seems to be more footage of the snow map. I'll be waiting to see more of the forest.

So how is this epic? It really bothers me when people misuse this word. Happens ALL THE TIME.
Anyways, this does seem pretty cool. I might get it.

I love you so much N4G users~~~~<3

Words change, deal with it. Purist Nazis.

But is it me or did they only show off Bandar Desert and 1 or 2 snow maps?
i think at least i have still time to finish the 5 new assignments that were released recently they are quite difficult indeed lol
Can't wait to finish my gaming rig ... then I'll experience BF3 like it was meant to be experienced.
It's about time.
Havent played CQ's or BF3 at all for about a month or two,(thanks to dark souls) but man thats definitely my cue to get warmed up.
On another note, I'm so glad I own a high end PC for this. It will be insane.
I can't believe we're still getting 2 more expansions after this.
