Battlefield Blog wrote:Go Back to Karkand in December!
Our dedicated Back to Karkand team continues to make awesome progress on this expansion pack, which will be available in December at no extra charge to everyone who pre-ordered Battlefield 3. If you didn’t pre-order, you’ll be able to purchase it for $14.99, 1200 Microsoft Points, or the equivalent in your local currency, at the same date.
It contains four of the most loved Battlefield 2 maps boldly re-imagined in Frostbite 2: Gulf of Oman, Sharqi Peninsula, Strike at Karkand, and Wake Island. You'll also get to patrol the battlefield with your favorite Battlefield 2 vehicles and weapons, and the expansion pack also features the return of the exciting variation on Conquest called Conquest Assault (more on that later). And for those of you who love your persistence, you'll get new "Assignments" to complete for unlocks (we'll talk more about Assignments soon)!

Q/A with zh1nt0:
zh1nt0 wrote:Today during our Day 1 event, Daniel “zh1nt0″ Matros volunteered his Saturday Night to come onboard our Teamspeak 3 server to give a quick Q/A about Back to Karkand and score some frags on the Battlefield. We were pretty stoked about this and some great new information came out about the Upcoming Battlefield 3 expansion pack, Back to Karkand. We had a exciting day and we want to give a huge shoutout to Crash7800, 1April, zh1nt0, Elxx, Gamm4 for their help. Here are the highlights of the discussion of what we can expect to see in Back to Karkand.
Unlocks carried over to Vanilla BF3
All the weapons that you unlock while playing Back to Karkand expansion pack will be usable when playing Battlefield 3.
Introducing Assignments
WIth Back to Karkand will come a new feature called “Assignments”. These will essentially be objective based tasks you can accept and will gain rewards from it.
Enhanced Destruction
The Destruction will be turned up a new level in Back to karkand.
Maps with BF2 Flag Structure
The levels in Back to Karkand will bring back the traditional Conquest Assault Gameplay. What this means is one team will start off with most of the flags, and the other team will have to capture those. This is the traditional map format we saw in Battlefield 2.
Karkand stats contribute to global stats
Everything you earn in Karkand will be contributed towards your soldier’s global score.
All game modes available
You’ll be able to play all gamemodes on back to Karkand maps. That means Rush on Wake Island, oh lala!
December 2011 Release
A specific date has yet to be released but it’s right around the corner!

Re: Karkand Premier Trailer!/Comparison Shots!
I am excited about conquest assault. Capping all the flags was always a cool part of BF2 I am happy they brought it back. I am also looking forward to this "Enhanced Destruction". I wonder if it will be in normal BF3 too.

Re: Karkand Premier Trailer!/Comparison Shots!
That video is pretty good for a fanmade trailer. Though the music was kinda lame .
