We've got some more footage from Battlefield 3 Armored Kill from E3, this time, it?s an on stage preview done by G4, accompanied by an interview with DICE?s Patrick Bach. The gameplay footage this time features a map called Caspian Sea according to Bach, who also said it'll be the biggest map in the history of Battlefield.Bach said about the upcoming DLC:
With Armored Kill, we got back to our roots, with really big maps, plenty of vehicles, the classic Battlefield formula, we'll have the biggest maps ever built in a Battlefield game.
Bach also confirmed that Armored Kill will feature 6 new vehicles, including the ATM, two mobile artillery vehicles, two light tanks, and the AC-130 gunship. Also, not all game modes will be available for Armored Pack, and the DLC will not include any new weapons, only vehicles and game modes such as the new mode, Tank Superiority. Armored Kill will be released in September.

EA showed Armored Kill behind closed doors at E3, running a map called Bandar Desert, which featured new vehicles such as ATVs, mobile artillery, and new, light-armored and faster tanks. There's also a tank superiority mode, which wasn't detailed at this point. Armored Kill will also introduce over 20 upgrades for tanks and armored vehicles. Regarding the AC-130 gunship, it?s accessed by capturing and holding a specific control point on the map. However, the AC-130 cannot be flown, and instead automatically circles the control point. The AC-130 has no pilot, but seats 4 people: two gunners manning 125mm cannons, and two gunners manning the anti-air guns to protect against enemy jets and helicopters. The AC-130 also doubles as a mobile spawn point, but cannot be repaired against damage, which means it can be shot down by enemy ground and air forces. Head on after the break for some Armored Kill gameplay footage.

DICE have just recently released Close Quarter Combat which adds some tight action along with two new multiplayer modes and 10 new weapons. For people who actually likes the close quarter aspect of BF3 the receptions seems to be generally positive. People also seem to like the new Gun Master mode which, oppose to the other modes in the BF series is actually somewhat new and refreshing.
The Amoured Warfare expansion will, oppose to the two previous expansion, not feature any new weapons, but instead 5 new playable vehicles, 4 large maps and new modes, where one of them is called Tank superioity.
Two more expansions called Aftermath and End Game will be released at a later point, but will feature new weapons, maps and vehicles.
BF3 released with 9 maps and when all the expansions/DLC have been released it'll number a total of 29 maps. Something which should satisfy most gamers (except the veterans).

I'm generally not into buying DLC that only features overpriced maps, but with new weapons, vechicles, modes and the size and quality of the BF3 maps it's hard, as a BF3 player, not to buy these packs.
Hopefully the last two expansions will feature a mix of large maps, urban warfare and smaller maps so that people who regularly plays the game can have a lot of variety.
Oh and to make this SW material: BF3 -> MW#
