Battlefield 3's "Back to Karkand" has been deployed on PC and Xbox 360. The maps for the expansion were buried in a recent PC update (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/05/tactical-light-other-fixes-in-dec-6-battlefield-3-pc-patch/), so the mouse and keyboard crew should be good to go. Xbox 360 users have a 2.07 gigglebyte update ahead of them, so that's something to get going on ASAP. The PS3 version was updated last week (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/06/psa-back-to-karkand-deploys-today-on-ps3-next-week-on-pc-xb/).
"Back to Karkand" is free for those who picked up the "Limited Edition" version of BF3 at launch -- otherwise it's $15 (the standard for FPS map packs (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/01/black-ops-sold-over-23-million-units-and-over-18-million-map-pac/)).
The mega Xbox 360 download doesn't just add Karkand maps, however, as there's also a ginormous list of changes made to single player, multiplayer andBattlefield 3's general balance. Check it out after the break.
