    Aftermath takes place during the aftermath (duh!) of an earthquake and it shows. The four new maps are all fine, but our absolute favorite has to be Epicenter. Even the new Scavenge Mode is pretty good. [January 2013, p.94]

    Maybe the weakest DLC for Battlefield 3. A mixed pack of maps and irrelevant items with just one or two of them really indispensable.

    Only two of the four maps feel truly essential, the new game mode is more a frantic doodle than a fleshed-out idea, while the new weapon and vehicles are of negligible use beyond the shattered confines of Aftermath's dusty arenas.

    Aftermath does a lot of things wrong, but also gets some things right. In the end though, this is the weakest of the Battlefield 3 expansions so far and I really hope that DICE shapes up before the final expansion.

    Aftermath is possibly the best DLC for BF3 since Back to Karkand (this review was written before End Game's release). The maps are beautiful!Aftermath is possibly the best DLC for BF3 since Back to Karkand (this review was written before End Game's release). The maps are beautiful! Also, unlike all of the previous expansions, most of the game modes are playable in Aftermath, including CQ Assault and Gun Master. The new Scavenger mode is very fun. It's a bit like Conquest Domination in the Close Quarters DLC, except that there are 5 capture points, and you only spawn with a pistol of your choice, a grenade, a specialization, and your knife. You have to find primary weapons scattered around the map. But each weapon you pick up only has 1 - 3 magazines. The new XBOW (Crossbow) weapon is a nice touch. There are 2 versions of the weapon (one with an RDS and another with a 7x scope), and there are 4 ammo types (normal, balanced, high explosive, and scan). Anyone who isn't sure if they want to buy it or not, you should. Its amazing. And if you don't have Premium, you are missing out. Expand

Actually I reckon it's the best one yet. I like all the maps pretty much equally, which is rare - there's always one or two I stay away from. And I like the scavenger game mode as well. I got tired of Armoured Kill pretty quickly, but these maps I suspect I'll be playing along side the normal maps for quite some time. Have no hesitation in recommending it. I just love how much fun this game has been right from the start. I still play it almost every day. Playing COD seems bland and boring compared to this game. I can't wait to see what BF4 is like - perhaps on a new console. Expand

    So far its good. I think the game could have been a bit better but i cant complain much..its a hell of a lot better then any COD game i haveSo far its good. I think the game could have been a bit better but i cant complain much..its a hell of a lot better then any COD game i have played and the fact i can drive a tank into battle...is just win. I even bought Bf2 a while back. I dont know why people think this game needed to be like Bf2..Bf2 was good but it had many flaws. Nostalgic old gamers trying to relive their glory days i guess. either way..
    love aftermath and im off to enjoy it.

    Back to Karkand was a fine made expansion bringing the best maps from BF2 , Close Quarter impressed me with its different pace and fast ,Back to Karkand was a fine made expansion bringing the best maps from BF2 , Close Quarter impressed me with its different pace and fast , adrenaline power and Armored Kill was a good pack , giving gamer's the BF style that distinguishes the franchise. Aftermath just like Close Quarter , is fresh and entertaining starting from Epicenter to the not so over the top Azadi Palace ( impressive map in scale and destruction ) .But the player here is not only the maps, but the new mode Scavenger. Scavenger mode consists of players starting a match without weapons ( Rifles),class specializations ( no medic packs, no support packs ) but only a secondary pistol, one team starts with all the flag captured and the other needs to rush as fast as they can . The struggle here is that you need to learn from every pistol and use everything at your disposal because there's nothing more to kill and encourages player to play in a more team based way, and of course, ammo is very limited in every weapon so that you need to swap,change very often unless you get killed again and respawn with nothing. In simple words Scavenger is like the classic Halo mode matches , you never had a class or anything, only the weapons you saw , and needed. The map pack also brings a interesting weapon called the X-bow ( that it is a crossbow ) almost everything in the assignments are based on the weapon , for example ill a quantity of enemies and you get a new type of arrow for it. So for anyone interested in Aftermath this is a good expansion in the franchise and fresh compared to the previous map-packs from BF3 and the whole BF franchise. Oh and there are earthquakes! Expand
