This was the first red flag that popped in my mind. Yes, the vehicles which I very much consider to be the bread and butter of Battlefield 3 and what ultimately sets it apart from Call of Duty games of late (and I’m sure I’m not alone in this sentiment…I know at least one other person that I regularly squad with that agrees) have been completely ripped out of these maps. I’m sure this is quite intentional too (and if it somehow wasn’t then you could have fooled me), trying to tap into some of that ravenous Call of Duty fanboy market *money, money, money*, right? I had my worries when details first surfaced for this add-on, after hearing about how the vehicles would be left out and the new maps would be a turn to more claustrophobic tendencies. So without further adieu, my look back at Close Quarters…įirst of all, there’s a reason why many were calling this add-on Call of Duty-ish at release because, for all intents and purposes, that’s basically what it all boils down to. I’m going to take a moment to reflect on the previous expansion, which was the first true expansion to this game (the redux-fest Back to Karkand, while having some of the best maps IMO, doesn’t count because it came out VERY shortly after release and was included with copies of the game for quite some time). As I’m sure most of you know already (Battlefield 3 fans?), an add-on came out a couple months back that promised frantic and fast paced gunning that went by the title of Close Quarters. Hello there Riskening true believers! We’re here today on the brink of a add-on release for a little game called Battlefield 3, for all you Xbox 360 premium subscribers out there (I see you…) waiting for Armored Kill. Now if only we could get that next Doom as well…ĥ/9/13 EDIT : HOLY BALLS! Just heard about a new Shadow Warrior title as well through ROTT’s facebook. With this and the new Rise of the Triad coming SOON we have the basis of another resurgence on our hands that with all hope should bring us the fun we loved about these classics to a new age of gaming. The way things look so far, Hitler in a robot suit was just a humble beginning apparently… Just give me a solid single player please. Multiplayer is really not important to me anyways when it comes to Wolfenstein (or some other titles for that matter…call me crazy, but I love the campaigns of Call of Duty Black Ops 1 and 2 ALOT more than the multiplayer…though I was never big on CoD multi, but that’s for another article). ![]() The last Wolfenstein had a pretty good single player campaign though the multiplayer was a bit of a steaming pile. The original 3-D is classic PC gaming bread and butter and is STILL making it’s rounds on devices to this day. taking on a future where the Nazis are branching out from the occult and getting into the robot army business? I’m intrigued to say the least…been a Wolfenstein fan for as long as I can remember now. Some reimagining of the series with good ol’ B.J. Haha…it’s a bit hard for me to know what to make of this yet.
