    Aftermath is the best out of all Battlefield 3 DLCs. Its maps tend to favor infantry, but the experience is as tense as ever.

    Aftermath retains most of the polish present in DICE's previous expansions. [March 2013, p.79]

    A DLC surprise for Battlefield 3. The Iranian environment devastated by an earthquake has created an excellent map pack along with an entertaining new mode and a nicely inventive crossbow. This DLC proves that Battlefield 3 has still things to offer, it is not depleted yet.

    Aftermath is so much more than a mediocre new gameplay mode. Every one of the four new locations is of high quality - there's something for the lovers of infantry battles, as well a map that should please fans of Teheran Highway. All in all - Aftermath is a very good add-on, that expands on the ideas from the basic game and is worth recommending to supporters of middle-sized maps.

    At first I was a little disappointed by small number of new weapons introduced in Aftermath. However it turned out that one of them – the crossbow – is a very versatile piece of equipment and can replace a whole bunch of other toys. I might have pictured this DLC differently but after all I got hooked for long hours. [CD-Action 02/2013, p.60]

    By far, this is the best Battlefield 3 expansion pack. Back to Karkand was just a classic maps port - i can't adequately judge it. I reallyBy far, this is the best Battlefield 3 expansion pack. Back to Karkand was just a classic maps port - i can't adequately judge it. I really disliked Close Quarters for Call of Duty styled gameplay. Armored Kill did not bring anything really new - just a bunch of big maps to say "yay, we're still loving classic Battlefield". Aftermath sets the new direction of further development, improvement and increasing variety if gameplay without merging and stealing ideas from Call of Duty. Highly recommended for everyone looking for brand new and original Battlefield moments.… Full Review »

    For this DLC, I feel they took the ideas from the smaller vanilla maps like Seine Crossing, Grand Bazaar, and Operation Metro... and perfected it. The maps are medium sized without a lot of "open space." But unlike the smaller vanilla maps... these maps do not contain all of the hallway/doorway choke-points. Unlike the "Close Quarters" DLC, it doesn't have the small labyrinth feel with too many flank routes. They do that to try and be "chaotic" but I feel "Close Quarters" is just for a dumbed down run-n-gun experience. Aftermath offers the BEST Close Quarters infantry experience in Battlefield 3. Scavanger mode is a fun game mode. Its got that campy, play with friends... not to be taken too seriously feel to it... that's similar to how I feel about Gun Master mode... but I prefer Scavanger Mode. More fun because there's less requirement to use weapons you do not enjoy using, but sometimes you have to. I gave it an 8, because its not "Back to Karkand" calibur. While good, the maps offer little variation. Maybe some open space and air vehicles would have been a good choice for ~2 of the maps to change it up a bit.    … Full Review »
