    The fourth expansion to the Battlefield 3 world has been tightly guarded, until now. EA has recently updated the landing page for Aftermath with some new concept art and some details that have been previously kept tight lipped.

    Set amongst the shattered districts, streets and surrounding villages of a post-earthquake Tehran, Battlefield 3: Aftermath depicts a continuing struggle for supremacy and survival amongst the devastation.

    With operational capacity severely compromised the opposing forces must adapt and engage in vertical and horizontal urban combat amongst the dust and rubble with cracks and fissures in the terrain providing unexpected cover and paths to objectives. Additional support comes in the form of heavily modified troop transports and civilian vehicles specially adapted to deliver deadly force to the enemy.

    KEY FEATURES INCLUDE:
    • Urban warfare on four new maps
    • New game mode
    • New assignments, achievements/trophies and dog tags
    • New heavily modified military and civilian vehicles - ingenuity and firepower combined
    • Fight through the dust and rubble, use the earthquake damaged terrain to your tactical advantage
    A release date for this expansion is still to be determined. Leave your first impressions on this Aftermath news below!

    - New game mode.

    Zombies please....fu, aint gonna happen.

    - use the earthquake damaged terrain to your tactical advantage.

    This sounds interesting.
    I hope they will add that "1" new game mode to vanilla maps.

    HOLY SHIT YES!!!!


    Sounds like it will be a BF3 version of Ravaged :D

    OK: Picture Analysis: Back left: modified Humvee with open turret mount on top. Center person looks to be holding a modified semi-auto sniper-rifle type weapon. Office buildings in background, perfect sniper points.

    Nothing else really from this picture, but man I'm PUMPED!!!

    This actually sounds really, really awesome. I hope the new mode will be playable across all maps, whatever it may be.

    Hmm, this could be very interesting, considering the fact that there will be civilian vehicles present in the game. Would the new game mode have anything to do with civilians e.g an evacuation gametype? I mean, its also post-earthquake, it is chaos and both the U.S Marines and Russian Army would not be able to operate tactically in Teheran in reality if there was a situation like this. Too many civilians to pull out the big guns and blast each other away. Maybe something like which team evacuates the most civilians wins, and of course heavy fighting between the two forces over who gets to take the Iranian families whom are hiding in bomb shelters..

    I think earthquake will be "automatic" like antenna on Caspain Border.

    Yes, DICE is making this game.
    EA Is just selling it...

    An extraction mode would be pretty fun and possibly annoying. It all depends on how smart DICE makes the people that are being extracted.
