Well here's a treat. Earlier today EA released the first gameplay trailer for "Battlefield 3: Aftermath." The studio also announced the game's official release date: November 27th for Playstation 2, merely a few weeks after "Black Ops 2" hits stores. The full release will be on December 4th. 

The basic synopsis:

This trailer provides a premiere look at our fourth multiplayer expansion pack Battlefield 3: Aftermath, where we throw players into an all-new harrowing environment: The shattered districts, streets and cities of post-earthquake Iran. Players will struggle for supremacy and survival amongst the devastation, with heavily modified vehicles and the all-new crossbow at their disposal.

Did you read that at the end! A mothaf*ckin' crossbow! Finally, a "Battlefield" game meets "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior." But the most important new feature is the game's Scanenger mode: 

Battlefield 3: Aftermath features all multiplayer game modes from the base game, plus the all-new Scavenger mode. In Scavenger mode, lost soldiers start equipped with only a knife, one grenade, and sidearm and must search the environment for more powerful weapons to increase their chance at surviving and eventually winning.
