Just two quick Battlefield 3 videos to post here. The first is the latest trailer for the upcoming Back to Karkand expansion, this time set in the Gulf of Oman map. The video shows off some of the new vehicles being added in the expansion, plus the usual new weapons, enhanced destruction, and of course the "new" map. Back to Karkand will be released December 6 for PS3 and December 13 for PC and 360.


On the other hand, there is also an official Battlefield 3 "community highlights" video made up of various user-recorded footage. You can see 32-man base jump, a lot of C4, a "James Bond" move, and some impressive jet footage.


In other news, Battlefield community manager Zh1nt0 tweeted the following response about the lack of in-game VOIP on PC Battlefield 3, proving once again that "PC is the lead platform" has always been a lie.

"We´re keeping the voip as it is right now. By increasing to this level of functionality we would have to make the VOIP solution a part of the game installation, which we currently don’t want from a business perspective."

Update: A video showing (PS3) footage of Wake Island has now been released too.
