Not even a month after release, the first expansion for Battlefield 3 is coming this December.  Titled Back to Karkand, the pack will include the maps Strike at Karkand, Wake Island, Gulf of Oman, and Sharqi Peninsula, all with "enhanced levels of destruction".  In addition to that, the pack will also include five new dog tags, five new achievements/trophies, three new vehicles (DPV, BTR-90, and F-35B STOVL jet fighter), 10 iconic Battlefield weapons and a new persistence system where players complete assignments to earn their rewards.
