The next iteration and expansion for the online shooter masterpiece, Battlefield 3, just got it’s launch trailer TODAY! Check out Aftermath below.

If you’ve not been in the loop, Aftermath is the fourth expansion for Battlefield 3 (BF3 premium member this will show up on Battlelog automatically). It takes place after the series of earthquakes that hit Tehran in the single player campaign. We all remember that big building coming down in the BF3 launch trailer, well now we can play in that crashed (the tower was driving drunk) building!

New mad max looking cobbled vehicles and the crossbow everyone was raging over fit very well in the post quake environments. I am very excited to see how the aftershocks and tremors will play a role into online play.

So if you have a PS3 you can hop on right now and play these maps right away, PC and Xbox need to wait until December 4th.

The fourth expansion for the online military shooter, Battlefield 3, has been teased a few times. With Premium members getting a peak at some of the post earthquake environments, and yesterday the lead community dev posted a pic on Reddit showing off the newest crossbows (Hint: it’s the banner. Up there!). Today we get an official announcement trailer. Take a peak with me!

“So whats the deal with the place all fucked up?” you ask? WELL, During the single player campaign an earthquake hits Tehran, separating you from your squad and really making a mess of the whole place. If you saw the Battlefield 3 trailer from a million years ago, you can see a nice large building falling over.

Well, “Aftermath” wants to expand on that disaster. Maps will bring players into places that have recently been destroyed, making gamers look at approaching challenges differently. I am assuming the new game mode is one where players duke it out while there are active tremors going on in the battlefield.

The release schedule is:

PlayStation 3 Premium members: November 27
Xbox 360 and PC Premium members: December 4
PlayStation 3 players: December 11
Xbox 360 and PC players: December 18
