Battlefield 3′s first DLC/expansion pack is called Back To Karkand, and brings back famous Battlefield 2 maps, weapons and vehicles, and brings them into Battlefield 3 with much improved visuals and technology, thanks to the Frostbite engine. We figured it would be a great idea to summarize everything we know about Back To Karkand, what it will include, and so on.
