Battlefield 3: End Game

CTF steals the show. [June 2013, p.97]

End Game is the last expansion for Battlefield 3. A great addition to its DLC family.

Apart from the maps not offering anything groundbreaking and some minor annoyances, The End Game DLC does what it sets out to do; keep you hooked on Battlefield 3 until its big brother successor is released.

End Game DLC will appeal to fans of battles that feature all kinds of units, where every soldier has a role to play. Capture the Flag makes a return, and even it is sometimes frustrating, it demands the team's cooperation, rewards crazy runs and offers tons of excitement. New maps go well with old game modes, and new vehicles provide variety. All in all, End Game is a worthy closure to BF3's series of add-ons.

End Game is a well-made ending of the DLC cycle for Battlefield 3 that is still fun as hell. Once more it offers four maps, however, this time in the outdoors. Moreover it adds two new modes expanding on its own large variety of things you can do in the game. On top of that it gives you a "nimble" motorbike.

Every previous expansion tried to change the concept of Battlefield 3’s multiplayer. Each enjoyed a different degree of success, but DICE always kept the game fresh. End Game feels like it was churned out by an Activision studio. The huge maps are a welcome addition, but there’s nothing else to write about.

End Game does not manage to fully capture the feeling and core mechanics of Battlefield 3 and a poor map design makes this last DLC a below-par content for an excellent multiplayer FPS.

End Game is the swan song for Battlefield 3, the fifth and final expansion that closes the series of DLC published from October 2011 and supported keeping alive the title of DICE. The return of the game mode Capture the Flag, pre-existing in the series, and the introduction of the brand new Air Supremacy, they add so much fun healthy and renew the gameplay thanks to the addition of new vehicles such as jeeps AA and motocross motorcycles Only the challenges of hunting planes can be unbalanced for beginners, while the rest excels without any problems. He could not close in the best way possible the work of the Swedish team, enticing even more players to engage in the theaters of battle of their Battlefield 3 with related expansions! ****

Great DLC, as least way better than any first person shooters in my favorites. Buying premium by retail (that i got highly discounted) was the best thing i have ever done in my life to enjoy the franchise. I have NEVER ever in my life regretted buying the game or premium. What is the addition to the game is the "unique" road bike. In my opinion one (or the fastest) of the fastest ground vehicle in the game. Extremely fun to rush and capture CTF or get near the flag fast. Also, provided that you don't get spotted easily for rushing. What hinders the road bike is the Javelin missiles, engineers can sneak up easily behind a hill or slope and lock-on to the "fast moving" bikes. The other new feature in this game is obviously the new CTF (Capture The Flag), a game mode that is enjoyable and that kind of "for-fun". Capturing 3 flags (primarily) to win the game isn't really that challenging, and of course new jihad-bikes suicide bombing the vehicles and flag area, it is very easy for the flag to be taken and do a getaway with the bike. Lastly, Air Superiority, which i find least enjoyable, due to the fact that everyone is in a jet and dogfighting with n00bs are un-bearable. Give it a 7/10, and for those WITHOUT Premium, don't bother getting it anymore now, wait and save for Battlefield 4. Cause' i am pretty sure that the game would be good.

Disclaimer: Due to the behavior of premier servers, buying BF3 DLCs individually doesn't allow you to play on them even if you own the DLC of the map that is currently in rotation. In other words, none of the DLCs are worth buying over premium. If you want a specific DLC, get premium or don't bother getting it at all. A slightly above average Battlefield DLC. Apart from a few well designed maps, it's not that remarkable. One of the biggest disappointments was the new CTF mode which doesn't really work in BF as well as it does in Halo or CoD due to the high player count. Even 32 player CTF can be overwhelming. Maps all feature a notable problem with land-air balance because the helicopters being able to orbit-hover with no precautions due to lack of mobile AA.

End game adds some ok maps but one thing i hate is CTF game mode it **** it **** so much that they even let you **** enemys spawn behind and theres nothing to prevent you enter enemys spawn area. So you just use most of time killing enemys on at own spawn not takeing the flag when you don't any change to get it oh yeah the spawn areas are way too CLOSE the flag makeing it way too easy defend untill enemy team enters to your spawn and start **** the spawn. Vehicles and maps are nice but one that did ruin End Game DLC was the CTF mode that turns always be spawn camp fest all time. So End game is just worst DLC ever made for BF3 and i really can say it's waste of money.

This could be a decent DLC with a pretty good gamemode, but DICE failed again. The spawn **** on CTF is just way too much and there is nothing you can do about it. Getting javelin'd on your Dirtbike with the flag is just annoying as hell and you don't even get the sound when they lock on. Don't have Premium? Buy B2K and Aftermath, the only DLC's I enjoyed. Those 2 DLC were actually better than BF3 itself. Also, the maps are small compared to other Battlefield games. When the map is pretty large, it's just full of trees and buildings. 0/10 Terrible DLC. I regret buying Premium so hard.
