Armoured Kill Expansion Pack

Hey guys,

EA have just released their Gameplay Trailer for the Armoured Kill expansion pack (Current clip of the week, or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6j5lXHNi8w) set to be released sometime this September.

What do you guys think? Personally I think it looks pretty damn awesome. I agree with many that the lack of ability to fly the AC-130 is disappointing, but at the same time, the other vehicles on offer seem to at least make up for this - and what little they've shown of the maps looks beautiful. My only gripe is, given that these maps are reported to be the biggest ever in Battlefield, what will be the role of infantry. The trailer clearly shows some lone soldiers running around, but I can't imagine spending 10 minutes running between capture points will be overwhelmingly gripping, and whilst I'm sure they're going to try to throw enough vehicles in to accommodate for everyone, perhaps dice have ignored the thousands of players who already bless our game by driving solo in 6-man vehicles ignoring the cries of 'come and pick me up' from the soldiers behind. I'm slightly expecting to be spitting my toys out my pram (the only thing that hasn't been taken) at base for lengthy periods on these maps.

That said provided you can get hold of a vehicle, the combat on this looks unparalleled to any other game out there, and I see myself pissing away quite a few more hours playing these maps
