The expansion includes four maps, 10 weapons and no vehicles -- it's about close quarters, after all.<br /><br />There will be two more expansions for the game following the June expansion. "Armored Kill" will focus on additional weapons, larger maps, and new drivable vehicles. The second pack, called "End Game," features cover art depicting a lunatic holding a knife. That's the extent of what we know about that one so far.<br /><br />The news of this expansion comes at a critical time.
