Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand Release Dates Confirmed
The Back to Karkand expansion for Battlefield will be released on December 13th for PC (and Xbox 360), EA and DICE confirmed today.
In an inexpicable move, PlayStation 3 owners get the expansion one week early, on the 6th of December. With EA running the show, money is everything I guess, but if the expansion is as good as hoped, I guess we can wait one more week?
Preorders included the Back to Karkand expansion pack, while others will have to buy it separately.
EA / DICE also announced that five new Trophies will be available for Back to Karkand:
- Complete Warrior (Silver)
Get a kill with the following weapons in a single life: Rifle, Jet, Tank - Third Tour (Bronze)
Get a kill with the new APC, Desert Buggy, and STOVL fighter jet - Gunslinger (Bronze)
Get 10 kills with all B2K weapons - Like a Boss! (Silver)
Get a kill with the skid loader - Jaws (Bronze)

Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand Assignments Explained
For the Back to Karkand expansion, DICE are introducing “assignments”. Now we know that each assignment you complete unlocks a new weapon. Both the assignments feature and new weapons will be available on both vanilla and Back to Karkand maps to everyone who has the expansion pack installed.
There will be 10 different assignments, all with different situational or kit-based requirements. For example, “Let it rain” requires 20 Light Machine Gun kills and 2 mortar kills, whick unlocks the QBB-95.
By looking at the official screenshot below, we now have confirmation that the previously posted “unconfirmed” weapons list was indeed correct. That weapons list has now been updated to reflect this new information.
