[dropcap size=dropcap]A[/dropcap]re you a fan of the Battlefield series in general and battlefield 3 in particular? Are you familiar with names such as Operation Metro, Caspian Border, Operation Firestorm or Gulf of Oman? If your answer is yes, you may open the Champagne bottle. These are all classic Battlefield 3 maps that will be made available in Battlefield 4 through the following DLC: Second Assault, which will be released in December. Of course, if you are an Xbox One user, you may be already playing Battlefield 4 with Second Assault installed, as the DLC was made available for Xbox at the launch date.
All those who are playing the game on other devices (PS4 and PC), wil receive the new content within the first days of December. Of course, the old maps are being re-mastered in order to meet the graphical standards of BF4.
Before admiring the new (old) maps, let’s take a quick look at the official trailer for Second Assault, released by Electronic Arts and Dice:

In other train of thoughts, gamespot has made a side by side video comparison of the Console (PS3 and Xbox 360) and PC versions of Battlefield 4. The video was released before the official game launch but it is important as it focuses not only on graphical differences but also on gameplay and number of players, differences that are visible from one gaming device to another. Let’s see the video clip:
