"Significant" Battlefield 3 patch coming soon

DICE is keen to let us know that the team is “hard at work supporting Battlefield 3,” even as you read this, and they’ve already delivered a host of improvements in terms of stability and performance.

Next week, however, a client update for Battlefield 3 (described as “significant”) will become available for players to enjoy a deluge of new improvements and feature enhancements.

The patch will first become available to PC players, and while an update for console players will “take a bit longer due to the certification requirements for console content,” it will “follow shortly after the PC update.”

What’s in the patch for PC players? Good question, so here’s an answer from a post on the Battlefield Blog:

“You’ll see improved polish, stability, weapons balancing, squad control functionality, user interface enhancements, and several feature enhancements that address feedback the community has provided to date – plus we’re removing the so called ‘negative mouse acceleration’ that some of you have experienced.”

“Regarding cheating and boosting,” the post continues, “we continue to analyze data to identify and hold accountable (ban, wipe stats) players that cheat or boost. We’ve received questions about what to do when faced with unsportsmanlike conduct in Battlefield 3 – the best course of action is to click the warning sign next to their profile name in Battlelog, or head to the EA Help Desk and report your issue. These leads will enable us to follow up on the report.”

We’ll let you know when EA and DICE make an official date announcement regarding the patch (for both PC and consoles), so stay tuned in.

Do you think that your issues with Battlefield 3 multiplayer will be addressed with the upcoming patch?

I havnt had any problems in BF3 MP they seem to fix all issues pretty quickly, i think i did encounter a cheater though me and POItjie emptied magazines into this one guy who just stayed on 100% heath. The only issue i really did suffer from was when quick match went down but thats not really an issue

yep this game is playing well, they just need to fix those cheaters. but maybe sometimes someone spawns like that, or maybe when a medic revives a down guy then the glitch kicks in. cause i know my friend Fullmetal MDK got revived and he could not be seen, but he killed alot of guys lol that was funny
