Looks to be an office building with a penthouse on top. I like the look of the vertical gameplay. Hopefully there are a good few floors to get to the top, could make a pretty cool conquest map then.

If anything, I'm looking forward to seeing what Battlefield-style gameplay will be like on a CoD-style map.

Blazer

The key point of that is vid 27 secs in.
Between that and the USAS it'll make Metro look like Caspian....still looking forward to new content though

Easy C4 kills

iColdFusion

Some guy went through the video for new weapons and looks like:

AUG - Assault
LSAT - Support
ACW-R - Engineer
SCAR-L - Engineer
L86A1 - Support
SPAS-12 - All-kit
MTAR-21 - All-kit


Supposed to be 10 so 3 TBC.

Looking at the video, first think that made me smile was the sight of the guy using the rpg in a lobby.

.

Dont like the look of that at all.

BlitzKrieg

Honestly if the experiance from some of the more infantry focused maps of BC2 then this map pack will be much more appealling to play Rush mode on and when the next map pack hits it'll swing back to more conquest again.

passingthrough

If this is multi-storey then it will make for some great rush games,might end up being a little too frantic but good fun too I'm sure

Video from PAX East has appeared.

Roorah

I was hoping for a larger version of Seine but at least the office building looks like it has more opportunity for flanking than Metro.

Yes, a lot more flanking. This will be epic madness on a 64 player server ^.^

Not a fan, may aswell be Call of Duty I'm watching.

Admittedly they're meant to be small, close-in maps, I guess that's unavoidable (though we've only seen one map so far).

jumbobreakfast

The official page says 2-16 players:
http://www.battlefield.com/battlefield3/1/close-quarters

I dont think you can have more than that on these maps as they've added extra destruction as a trade-off. Should be fun but may just end up being a novelty, we'll see.

Roorah

Ah, 2-16 player sounds much better!

DeWinterZero

It does looks like a fun small player count map but 2-16 players means its designed for consoles since 24 players is their maximum players. It won't be suitable for rotation on most pc servers unless you want utter mayhem or to kick half or more of your players. Thats if there's 64 people stil playing the game in June.

Guess we'll have to see in June (subject to DICE time).

ktulu123

I can see these new maps being dropped by servers after the first couple weeks. Admins will want their server populated but these maps are gonna split the community. Especially with the console player count

jumbobreakfast

The ultimate map manager plugin for procon allows you to automatically change the server size and map list depending on the number of players on the server. This map pack and that plugin might be a nice combo to keep a server busy
