Here, it's been fixed. It's an aerial dogfight mode where you always spawn in a jet and can't even eject. The capture points are blimps and taking them is a fast process. It's a playground for those who have mastered the game's fighter controls, and an excellent way to practice for those who never get the chance to fly in normal play. Neither mode is revolutionary, but each has its own strengths making them welcome additions to the playlists.
There are also new vehicles. They're not the most robust vehicles in the game, making them an easy mark for the apex predator tanks and choppers, but the punch they pack evens the score. Dirt bikes are the headline addition, and all the maps have been created with features that encourage you to try them out.
Hurtling off ramps on a bike, its engine buzzing like an angry wasp, is an undeniable thrill and they certainly make getting around these large maps an absolute pleasure. Just don't look too closely at the physics of them, because they're not terribly convincing as they clatter across the rocks and rubble. What they lack in grace, they make up for in fun. Fun is also a convenient way of summing up End Game, and the Battlefield 3 experience as a whole.
It's a little word, and one that's often misused as a platitude, yet it's why I keep coming back to Battlefield. For all its stabs at authenticity, there's a knockabout playfulness to this game that taps right back into those childhood games of 'war' where you'd just run around an empty field, filling it with imaginary mayhem.
This is still the only FPS where you can look up in the sky to see your fellow players duelling in fighter jets, while in the distance trees are felled by tanks. Battlefield is about the players, and giving them spaces that inspire such moments.
End Game celebrates that, and in doing so celebrates everything that makes Battlefield distinctive from its rivals.
Looking back, the limp single-player game and half-baked co-op missions that so lazily chased COD's tail have all but receded from memory. Despite wobbles along the way, Battlefield 3 has grown into the game it was always meant to be and, with four of its best maps ever, ends on an exhilarating high. Buy Battlefield 3 from Amazon [?

Besides being a multiplayer only expansion, End Game is much more of map pack with new game modes and assignments. There are no new guns this time around, save for the M S-TAC, which is nothing more than the existing M with both a tactical light and a suppressor attached. Additionally, a surplus of jets means players must spawn directly into a jet.
This removes the worry of anti-aircraft guns or infantry with Stingers and leaves players to focus on the other pilots burning the skies above Iran. The end goal is to capture by player proximity several floating dirigibles.
The new super-quick dirt bikes make for fantastic getaway vehicles. Fortunately, the large scale and strategic feel of BF3 stays in tact all throughout this new game type.
