    I've got about 6 1/2 days logged into this game so this is about an as honest Review from a big fan as you can get. 1st thing I noticed is the the servers are right back to square 1/ launch week. Tons of issues. I have a few issues the 1st week but nothing near what Im currently experiencing. I haven't had 1 night (2-4 hours) without losing a connection to EA. Now as for the DLC itself.I've got about 6 1/2 days logged into this game so this is about an as honest Review from a big fan as you can get. 1st thing I noticed is the the servers are right back to square 1/ launch week. Tons of issues. I have a few issues the 1st week but nothing near what Im currently experiencing. I haven't had 1 night (2-4 hours) without losing a connection to EA. Now as for the DLC itself. Awesome, BUT I cant stand the conquest assault. Its not a normal conquest, you cant avoid it on specific maps. If it was a new game mode like rush that would be awesome but if you want to play all the maps on conquest, then youre going to get stuck with a few conquest assault matches as that is the only was to play 2 of the 4 new maps. In all honesty I have gone to selecting only servers that don't have these maps. I hate to say that because I was awaiting these from launch day . The assignments are a great addition. The new vehicles are great and the maps look outstanding are are fun to play. Hopefully they will adjust the match issues in future DLC. But even with my issues with it I still LOVE BF3… Expand

    If you are a big Battlefield 3 player it is a no brainer to purchase this DLC, even if it is purely just to have no restrictions when finding a server to play on.

    Packs a fancy new jet that can take off vertically. [Feb 2012, p.112]

    Four great maps and a bunch of tweaked weapons and vehicles, all for the annoying price of about NZ $30. Casual fans might want to wait until this thing sees a price drop, but if you're heavily invested in your Battlefield 3 multiplayer then you'll get a lot out of these new maps.
