Toby "Triggerlegs" McCasker is a huge fan of [app=5812]Battlefield 3[/app], and so when he got the chance to play some rounds of the upcoming 'Close Quarter's DLC - let alone a few rounds with lead designer Niklas Fegraeus - he couldn't say no. Read on for all his impressions.

Does this DLC introduce new weapons or camos?

New weapons yes, camos... I'm not 100%. I don't think so, didn't see any cool new threads.

That's pretty cool - I'm quite interested to see the dynamic and feel of these maps. BF3 feels better in terms of gunplay etc than CoD ever had and i'm really keen to see how it plays out in smaller set-pieces.

That said. I think once CS:GO comes out (providing it's decent) i'll head there for this cqb style stuff and let BF do what it does best.

Yeah i just had a quick peek at the new bf3 dlc trailer, so there are 4 new maps and 10 new weapons which is probably old news

Anyway, spotted a;
SPAS-12
AUG A3
MTAR-21
JNG 90
ACW-R

And i think they are all new

Shows all the new weapons. I'm particulary excited for the Aug, which was my absolute favourite in Bad Company 2....well...other than the garand...you shall be missed my friend.

[GeneralHerpes.]

WTF? RIP Battlefield.

[Joshua]

Close quarters will bring in some more players from CoD community probably, more for us to kill I guess.

If its more than $10 I don't see myself getting it, as 'Back to Karkand' was absolute rubbish.

[Sphinx2000]

This isn't BF, it's some sort of COD/CS..

Also 16 player max, fail..

I like AUGs as well.

I had to stare at that title banner for about 30 seconds to make out WTF is going on in that screenshot. I swear I thought the soldier was holding a bread roll. haha
