Sometime after that, the third expansion pack will be released and is called “Armor Kill” which is all about the vehicle experience set on the biggest open maps DICE has ever built. you’re able to expect new vehicles such as tanks, ATVs, mobile artillery and more. This expansion will be out in Fall.
The last of the announced expansions was called “End Game” but there was no info on that released for now, but you can expect it this Winter.
Additionally, DICE will be releasing a rent-a-server program for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions ofBattlefield 3. Yeah, you read that right. This is the first time anything like this has ever been offered for console players. You’ll be able to customize and set up your servers however you like. Never thought I’d see the day!
