I've had fun on the maps but it definitely is for the CoD crowd who prefer killstreaks and quick action as opposed to the normal BF style of play. The gunmaster mode is unoriginal and doesn't work as well as the original. Back to Karkand is probably the best expansion so far, and it's just the re-imagining of old maps in the BF3 format.

If I had a chance to do it over again, I would not get premium. Of course, I am bitter since I bought the game at launch and then bought premium, not realizing just a month or so later they offered the game AND premium on the cheap. Oh well.

I think Karkand is the only DLC worth it right now. Can't speak for the remaining two that haven't come out yet but there is a reason I didn't commit to trading in my LE copy and getting the Premium version.

Close Quarters looked horrendous. There was maybe 1 or 2 maps in Armored Kill that caught my attention, but I read and saw that they were too large, and I own Karkand already through the LE....All of the maps I have and play on I see more Premium players than regular players. That says to me that even Premium players would rather play most of the standard maps that were included (with the exception of Karkand's DLC).

I felt like I was missing out, but now I'm fine with what I have. I also feel like the server issues alone thwart the need to upgrade. Although, if you buy 2 or more packs, you mind as well go Premium.

Do you guys think this is the best price we'll see on the Premium edition? Or will Black Friday be better.

Also is it known how long it will be at this price?

I have the vanilla version of the game. I bought it for $15 from Gamefly. The DLC is $49.99 I'm going to sale my vanilla copy and pick this up. Great deal.

Hard to say, but I don't think it gets much lower than this.

Is it worth getting this if I am getting halo 4 and black ops 2?
