Bad News for Karkand

From this twitter post:

@Battlefield Is Back To Karkand a separate theater like Vietnam was in BC2, or a true integrated expansion to the rest of the game?

@defiantsoul Back to Karkand will be a separate map rotation, much like BFBC2 Vietnam. ^WS

So, the servers won't be able to run a mix of Karkand maps and release maps. Grrrrrr.

seperate.. so maybe you can run 2-3 maps and then have the next rotation set in for the next 2-3 maps in karland?

They said "like Vietnam." So not without a server restart/reconfiguration.

I wasn't part of BC2 ... so maybe someone got smart and changed it.. or else this is going to suck. Wait for the backlash.

Yea, the old bait and switch tactic.

All this because, God Forbid, they can't have anything like BF2 messing up BF3's flow of brilliant map designs and playstyle...

Vietnam was a add-on separate expansion pack, like that add-on for BF2 that gave you the zip lines, whose name escapes me...

[goldenfooler]

special forces or ops?

[Dead...Again]

Special Forces. It was awesome!

[Cain]

Special Forces, that's it... That thing was awesome!!

[Timi]

Or that tweet could be completely wrong...

Battlefield 3's 'Back to Karkand' will be part of regular map rotation | Joystiq

Special Forces, that's it... That thing was awesome!!

I thought it sucked.. ... might have been not able to find anyone from cainslair when it came out.

[Rand{CLR}]

Special Forces was indeed awesome. Nothing like grappling and ziplining around the city maps.

Night vision and ziplines FTW!
