EA’s announced three new multiplayer expansions for Battlefield 3 which will be released from June until winter 2012.

The first pack is known as Close Quarters. It focuses on close quarters combat and includes new weapons, dog tags and assignments. It releases in June. The second pack is Armored Kill which is more vehicle-centric with new tanks, ATVs, mobile artillery including “the biggest map in Battlefield history”. It releases in autumn.
