    Crossbows Added with Battlefield 3: Aftermath as First Screenshot Shows

    The Battlefield 3 team revealed the first official screenshot for the upcoming Aftermath DLC coming to the game. It has crossbows. Evidently no game is immune from the "Year of the Bow".


    I er... hm.

        Well on reddit I noticed that different people had been getting different things. I don't think that the Battlelog guys were kept in the DLC loop, but one of the twitter based community managers was (he said there were new weapons despite what battlelog said). I think that since the last one didn't they assumed it was the end of weapon additions and omitted it just incase their heads would reach a proverbial chopping block.

        all speculation of course.

            From the blog post the bow makes sense. Well, atleast they have a pretext to add a bow in there xD. Also, the scavenger mode sounds really nice. http://blogs.battlefield.com/2012/10...ath-first-look

              I believe this is the only weapon being added, although it is a gadget.

                It could be fun. There is a long wait to see.

                  I am an archer and I want a recurve, longbow and a compound bow! Most archers hate crossbows so calling it year of the bow when showing a crossbow is offensive!

                    "Bow" is in the name... Close enough for me.

                      But the whole premise for the aftermath setting is the post apocalytic setting meaning that the equipment is already there. Building a crossbow is not something you do from scraps of metal. The firing mechanism itself is a pretty elaborate piece of equipment. For it to work properly you cant just tinker on some piece of metal and "Hey presto, a fireing mechanism". In this setting a more realistic approach would be a standard bow.

                      I wonder if they have added the malfunction part like with MOH and Far Cry 2. That could be fun!
