Battlefield 3 gamers looking forward to the arrival of the new Battlefield 3: Close Quarters DLC in June, will enjoy the new video released by EA showing a glimpse of the close quarter action you can look forward to in the new DLC and its maps.
The teaser trailer after the break includes gameplay from the new game mode Conquest Domination, that provides a mix of the tactical classic Conquest mode and the instant action, on smaller tighter map layouts.
New Maps and Weapons
Battlefield 3: Close Quarters will include 4 new maps which EA says have been specifically created to provide a “highly competitive environment”, together with 10 new weapons to enjoy. These maps are designed to enhance the intensity of the gameplay, focusing on close-quarters combat that demands quick reflexes and strategic thinking. The new weapons introduced in this DLC are tailored to suit the fast-paced nature of the maps, offering players a variety of options to customize their loadouts and adapt to different combat scenarios.
“Battlefield 3: Close Quarters is a massive themed expansion pack featuring frantic and relentless infantry combat on four highly competitive indoor maps. Like all themed expansion packs for Battlefield 3, it also contains new weapons that you can bring back to the base game, new Assignments, and new dog tags. Look for Close Quarters in June 2012”
Gameplay Enhancements and Features
The Close Quarters DLC not only introduces new maps and weapons but also brings new gameplay mechanics and features that enhance the overall experience. One of the standout features is the new game mode, Conquest Domination. This mode combines the strategic elements of the classic Conquest mode with the fast-paced action of smaller, more confined map layouts. Players will need to capture and hold objectives while navigating tight corridors and multi-level buildings, making every encounter more intense and unpredictable.
Additionally, the DLC includes new Assignments that challenge players to complete specific tasks to unlock new weapons and equipment. These Assignments add an extra layer of depth to the gameplay, encouraging players to experiment with different playstyles and strategies. The new dog tags introduced in Close Quarters also provide a way for players to showcase their achievements and personalize their in-game identity.

Community and Competitive Play
The Close Quarters DLC is expected to have a significant impact on the Battlefield 3 community, particularly among players who enjoy competitive play. The smaller, more focused maps are ideal for intense, fast-paced matches that test players’ skills and teamwork. This makes Close Quarters a perfect addition for those who participate in competitive leagues and tournaments, as well as for casual players looking for a more challenging and engaging experience.
Moreover, the introduction of new weapons and Assignments provides fresh content for players to explore and master, keeping the game exciting and dynamic. The new dog tags also offer a way for players to express their individuality and accomplishments, fostering a sense of pride and community within the game.
