It’s been announced on the Battlefield blog that an expected patch for the PlayStation 3 version of Battlefield 3 is now live, most notably addressing the Voice Over IP (VOIP) issues players have been experiencing.
“We have identified and fixed the VOIP issues on PS3 that some Battlefield 3 players have experienced. This fix is now live!
“When logging in to Battlefield 3, PlayStation 3 players will automatically download this update. Now get in there, start communicating, and tell us how it’s working!”
The blog goes on to note that players may still encounter VOIP errors due to an incorrectly set up headset, or you may be using the SLEH-00075 Bluetooth Headset, for example, which requires an initial USB connection to be recognised. Visit the blog to troubleshoot this particular issue.
In addition, a larger, more expansive patch for the console versions of Battlefield 3 is expected to drop soon, so we’ll keep an eye out for details on that.
Lastly, it’s been revealed that Battlefield 3’s servers are currently down for maintenance, which started at 2am PST (February 6th) and will last until 3:30 am PST today, February 7th - if you try to get a game in before work, then you may be thwarted. Everything will be back to normal in the next few hours.

I can't wait for the DLC announcement this week. I wonder what it will be. wonder if it will be MP only or SP and MP and CO-OP. will just have to see and wait. I'm so going to get the DLC. BF3 for the win!!!!!
OOh sp, mp and coop will be so awesome in one pack.
We'll keep our eyes peeled for the DLC announcement, too! Hope it's something awesome - new SP content would be great, but it'll probably be MP focussed.
All I can say is I don't mind, SP or MP... it will just give me more maps to get Tags on. hope they add some awesome new weapons....I'm really wanting this DLC and I don't even know what it is.
