After Volcano and Mustang, comes Carrier Battles. The daddy of Battlestations DLC... Featuring four of our shiniest, most incredible and diverse multiplayer maps - playable across all five multiplayer modes - The Carrier Battles Map Pack is our most impressive piece of DLC yet. Take part in a clash of carriers at Midway, do battle at dawn in the mist of the Phillippine Islands, experience the fury of Kamikaze attacks in the rocky islands of the Leyte Gulf, and take control of your forces amongst the mountain peaks and glacial waters of the icy Aleutian Islands. Think you know Battlestations? Think again. We'll have more news and info on the Carrier Battles Map Pack over the coming weeks, but for now let's just tackle the two most important questions... when and how much? The Carrier Battles Map Pack will be setting sail on Xbox 360 and Games for Windows on July 23rd and will be priced at 800 points. (14 votes) |

Sounds like a challenge
sounds like the devs have been listening, awsome guys, we appreciate anything you can add to this game.
Wow Eidos. You guys kick ass!
you see?
you just gotta wait
the devs and people at eidos knows what we want
but at a price of over $20 (all DLC combined)
omg!!!!
yes!!!!
i will have the points ready!!!!
thank you so much eidos and mycoldman!!!!!
Awsome its good to see that there will be some carrier battles coming very soon, im sure they'll be epic. Just one question though, are we gonna see any new carriers like the Essex? Plz add the Essex at least and just to balance it out maybe the Shokaku class for the Japanese...
that's great we should get the Big E AKA The Enterprise CV6 I wanna thank these guy's for the DLC it's awsome and keeps me falling in love with BS Pacific and they should work on BS Atlantic that would be a big seller.
the more the better guys but keep it authentic thats what the players love.
The maps have to be huge and the aircraft have to operate with reload=off, otherwise it will not be a good replication of carrier warfare. Carriers do not do that well in confined spaces, they like lots of ocean to get lost in, then often whoever finds the other first gets in first shot by airstrike and can win. The difficulty besides this mutual search is the management of the aircraft. Then of course there is usually an objective, some place you have to capture or neutralise at the same time.
This is awsome news. 3 weeks to get this DLC.
any new units?
Essex? Taiho?
sounds good got the first two dlc??
but where will u guy throw us a free bone>>>meaning dlc
How about this for an idea to make carrier battles different to Island Capture:
1) Give each team 1200 command points at the start, but once spent, thats it.
2) Turn on carrier stock limits as per the single player and divide these up between players.
3) Battle it out until all enemy units are destroyed/surrendered.
Forgive me as I have not played BS Midway, but would the above make BSP more similar to BSM and an enjoyable alternative mode?
I should have mentioned a set number of carriers per team assigned at the beginning of he match and also no islands to capture - unless this is set as a goal to win the match.
I put forward an idea very like that on the old Midway forums, the main difference was that there was a main HQ at each end of the map, and if you knocked this out the game ended. This was so you didn't have to chase down every little PT boat. The other important difference was that you could buy airfields before the start, with a limit of 4 and positioned next to the main base, and these would then act like they did in Midway, with a set number of slots and a limit on how many planes could be spawned.
A must have!
They're listening to us.
I'm downloading this.
discount ?? for people that have the firsts 2 dlc?
wow i am impressed with this. your doing better than cod waw.
I do love the DLC content, i just wish some of the games issues would be fixed.
I love the way the first add-on was just enough over 500 points that you actually had to pay for 1000 points to get it, and this new pack is priced perfectly so that all three add-ons are a measly 20 points over 1500, so you have to pay for a full 2000 to get them.
I've got to hand it to Microsoft, they're GENIUSES at ripping people off.
Eidos is guilty by association, if for no other reason.
That's exactly what I did.
so many adons in so little time
edios you have made me proud to fight in midway and in the pacfic the mustang unit pack is sweet
