Does anyone know the release date for the 360 on this DLC for BF3?

Haven't touched BF3 in quite awhile but hoping this will get me back into it.

I know it's due this month and I think it'll come out for the PS3 first but I'm wondering when it'll be available for the Xbox.

We also have a Xbox 360 game server... featuring the new Close Quarters maps... Look for SimHQ, it's up for a month.

Cool!

SimHQ has it's own server now? I'll have to check it out for sure.

Ok, so can anyone tell me what the cost of the DLC is individually vs buying the Premium package?

I already have Strike at Karkand so I'm wondering if it's still worth it to buy the Premium package over buying the DLC as they come out.

About $40 for Premium and there's 5 DLC packs (including Karkland) at $15 each. If you wait 3 months or so then it'll probably get cheaper as well, as with most releases.

Leemz... unless you go premium, I'd skipped the close quarters DLC... good maps for, well close quarters... but it's too fast and furious, too much like CoD... I got tired of them after just 3 days and went back to what makes BF3 great, big, open maps... if your NOT going premium, just skip it and get the next one when released.

I think I'm going to grab the Premium DLC this weekend. Overall I save a little bit of cash and grab a few extras while I'm at it.

The Close Quarters maps don't seem as small as CoD maps.

Besides, I hate when I'm online with a few friends and the maps rotate to something you don't have and you get booted.

I haven't played golf on the weekend for the last two weeks and I have some extra cash burning a hole in my pocket.

biggrin

Actually (no offense) but that reminds me of a mode in CoD that I didn't like. Gun Master will likely be something I'll never play. I'm actually a little peeved that EA even bothered to copy it.

Well I bought the Premium Pack and downloaded the new Close Quarters DLC.

Early impressions:

I liked the 3 maps that I tried. I missed out on the 4th one, not sure which one it was.

I think the maps are really well done and not very linear at all, which is a good thing. I like that the respawn is quick and when you're playing Conquest the capture time is greatly reduced.

My only complaint was that too many of the servers I got on, people were playing TDM. BOOOOOOORING!!

Anyway, at this early stage, it's not a purchase I regret.

I wish people were on the SimHQ server, however. Haven't seen anyone on it yet.
