Battlefield 3: End Game Critic Reviews

CTF steals the show.

End Game is the last expansion for Battlefield 3. A great addition to its DLC family.

End Game is a well-made ending of the DLC cycle for Battlefield 3 that is still fun as hell. Once more it offers four maps, however, this time in the outdoors. Moreover it adds two new modes expanding on its own large variety of things you can do in the game. On top of that it gives you a "nimble" motorbike.

End Game DLC will appeal to fans of battles that feature all kinds of units, where every soldier has a role to play. Capture the Flag makes a return, and even it is sometimes frustrating, it demands the team's cooperation, rewards crazy runs and offers tons of excitement. New maps go well with old game modes, and new vehicles provide variety. All in all, End Game is a worthy closure to BF3's series of add-ons.

Apart from the maps not offering anything groundbreaking and some minor annoyances, The End Game DLC does what it sets out to do; keep you hooked on Battlefield 3 until its big brother successor is released.

I fell in love with Capture the Flag – one of two modes reintroduced by End Game (the other one is Air Superiority).

Battlefield 3 has had a great run of DLC, but sadly End Game is by far the worst of the lot. The new game mode (Capture the Flag) is prone to players behaving badly and the new maps don't feel all that special.

Every previous expansion tried to change the concept of Battlefield 3’s multiplayer. Each enjoyed a different degree of success, but DICE always kept the game fresh. End Game feels like it was churned out by an Activision studio. The huge maps are a welcome addition, but there’s nothing else to write about.

End Game does not manage to fully capture the feeling and core mechanics of Battlefield 3 and a poor map design makes this last DLC a below-par content for an excellent multiplayer FPS.
