But when it comes to shooters, Crysis 3 was AMAZING! arguably better than any other shooter released in 2012. I LOVE hunter mode. I just absolutely love stalking a bunch of newbies, and making them cry in terror. When I kill, I can almost imagine the looks of terror on their faces, when my precision shots allows me to cut them down soon.
As for the DLC for the Battlefield series, I would say that its actually pretty good value. I mean, you get a bunch of new maps that significantly extend your experience. But than, I was always a sucker for this kind of thing. I am the guy that buys every single expansion pack. After all, I actually paid 7.99 yesterday for a bikini pack in dead or alive 5! A BIKINI PACK! $7.99! Its probably even a worse deal that oblivion's horse armour
The price drop is pretty disappointing, but what can you do? Games go on sale in the industry. Hell, weeks after I bought Hitman: Absolution, it got halved in price. My whole vita library, that I paid like 100$ + for all ended up free on PS+.

Thats not a price drop due to time, that was a power grab at money though. I paid for BF3 in full. I paid and PRE ORDERED BF3 Premium in full ($60 whole dollars again) to get it and all of the goodies two weeks earlier than "EVERYONE ELSE" and then right after the first expansion of premium is released (CQ) they put out a CD with Premium and BF3 for $70?! They litterally just said 'thank you for your money, but we dont appreciate you that much' and gave me the finger. I would understand if this came out a year or two later, but that soon!? It was definately a power grab for money and I hate them for it. I love BF3, don't get me wrong, I find it a very fun and engagin multiplayer experience (Somewhere between slightly arcadish and slightly real / tactical) But that made me really hate EA.
I haven't played Crysis 3 but my friend has it so I may try it out, but besides the Sims (I am quite addicted) I do not thing I will purchase another EA game for a LOOONG time, their practices with their business is shameful, look at the customer support stuff for Sim City? Peoples games were buggy and they wanted their money back and they said, "nope sorry no re-nigs". If I buy a 40" Panasonic flat screen TV that is supposed to display in 1080p and it only displays in 720p and I call them up telling them I want a perfect replacement that works or my cash back, what do they do? They sure as heck don't tell me "We understand your concern but we have your money its your problem now" and leave me, no they replace it/refund it RIGHT AWAY. (Not using Panasonic as the company just a tv brand, most returns I have ever done have been nothing short of outstanding service) But this cluster bomb that EA seems to have unloaded on everyone lately just seems unexcusible.
