Battlefield 3 Close Quarters Review - VideoGamer.com

VideoGamer.com writes: "I guess the biggest problem with Close Quarters, though, is in its longevity. There's no doubt DICE has done sterling work in creating a Call of Duty-esque offshoot within its already sparkling world of violence and explosions, and in doing so has really shown off just how good the gun-on-gun combat in Battlefield 3 actually is. But it's just not Battlefield, and after a few weeks - days, even - I'm convinced the hardcore will go back to the main game and the unscripted drama therein.

As good as Close Quarters is, then, it just doesn't have the tools to offer up anything so profound at Battlefield 3 proper. Where are the war stories - the incredible emergent drama where you're completely enraptured by the moment and living out these boy-soldier fantasies? There's a reason that these 15 million people aren't playing Call of Duty. For all its triumphs, Activision's behemoth just isn't Battlefield. And while a fine effort, nor is this."

Why even bring up Call of Duty? Close quarters is fun. I don't have to worry about my team being all snipers. It's fun for what it is and I'm sure armored kill will be way better.

Go into the game and it will send you a message to download it from the game. It's already free.

I actually gave you +helpful because you did what the author of the article could not.... look for a solution yourself.

I was just giving you a hard time. ;)

I'll + your reply simply for you being confident enough to take a joke at your expense.

There is a photo attached to text showing there's no Close Quarters in in-game store. So, that doesn't help.

I may not even buy BF4 premium. I bought Bf3 at launch for 64 dollars and premium for 49.99. Thats over 100 dollars. A couple months later they decide to sell the "Premium version" for 59.99.

Pandamobile4343d ago

Things get cheaper as time goes on. Go figure?

HammadTheBeast4343d ago

Well, as of now its 2 for 1 on PS3 with game sharing. Dunno if that'll change, but I pitched in $20 with a friend and we both got it.

Nafon4343d ago

You can buy premium edition for $20 on Pc right now

dantesparda4343d ago

You can get premium for $25 on ps3

Ducky4343d ago

The maps are alright, but the real biggie here is the weapons that come with the DLC.
My favorite weapons are pretty much all from CQ aside for the AS Val.

ThatCanadianGuy5144343d ago

Nice.It's actually the only DLC i didn't buy haha.Time to jump back in the battlefield

KwietStorm_BLM4343d ago

lol so a year and a half later, they give away the worst DLC pack of the bunch. Well it's free anyway.

SignifiedSix914343d ago

Why does it have to be the crappiest of all DLCs?

I couldn't stand close quarters.
