    Recently we've all been getting hyped around the announcement of the next DLC Expansion pack for Battlefield 3. We're pleased to announce that thanks to an anonymous source, we've got some hints to what the new DLC could look like. First off, the name is claimed to be "Close Quarters" and looks as though will include a whole new set of vehicles and weapons. The name gives the impression that it will be more Infantry based.

    Here is some code from an apparent private Battlelog server, which only DICE employees are allowed on, showing that two legendary vehicles are about to return to Battlefield 3, either in the next expansion, or one of the future DLC packs. While we can't show the entire screenshot, as it contains proprietary information, we can show you a few hints.

    Part of this code clearly shows a code-name that resembles the UH-60 BlackHawk helicopter, which has been in all of the modern based Battlefield games.

    This section screenshot shows another vehicle, hence the lowercase "v". This one appears to be the Linebacker, also known as the Bradley Infantry Vehicle, another vehicle from Battlefield 2. We're really excited to welcome the BlackHawk and Linebacker to Battlefield 3, based on this information. While we can't confirm the validity of this information, hopefully EA / DICE will make an official statement on this DLC in the near future

    Get ready for some tight-knit teamwork on intense urban environments.

    Ready your flashlights, shotguns, and knives. Battlefield 3 is about to get really intense. Close Quarter combat on tight, infantry based maps.

    I seriously hope the new DLC doesn't all revolve around close quarters maps. We've already got enough of those in vanilla BF3. I, along with a very sizeable portion of the community, have been waiting with bated breath hoping for more Operation Firestorm and Caspian Border-style maps. This is simply catering to the CoD trigger-happy crossover fanatics and a slap in the face to BF veterans of old. I'll still hold out hope and wait until tonight to pass more judgment, but so far, this is not turning out how I had hoped it would. :(

    Tiny infantry maps = more shameless whoring out to the COD console kiddies in this new era of MOAR sales means BETTUR. BF2 was about BIG MAPS. Lots of vehicles. Teamwork. Not KDR and f'ing run & gun.

    EA stop obsessing on Activision and mandating DICE to further ruin their once great franchise. People are pissed, granted, but the game hasn't been out THAT long and I'm sure people would forgive if they can turn it around.

    The first DLC for the game was just that, I don't see the problem. If it's the "all american" DLC featuring urban maps, it would be the perfect juxtaposition to B2K. I'm not into the idea of a 2143 pack, as Mass Effect 3 just came out and it would be too similar.

    If it true about the BlackHawk and the the Bradley then there's surely going to be Russian variants of most likely the MI-24 Hind and BMD-3 like in BC2.

    Not sure if I agree with an infantry only aspect, I think a good mix of large and small scale maps would be a better idea.

    I want to see Xm8 Prototype from BC and BC 2

    yyyeeeaaaaa boooiiiii!!

    true.. devs just want some variation in their game.. so if you like big map, go to caspian or firestorm/b2k.. if you like small map, go to metro/bazaar..
