Battlefield 3 To Get Rebuilt With Massive Upcoming Patch

By rlemar

DICE is at it again, this time they are overhauling Battlefield 3 with a massive list of bug fixes and gameplay tweaks the size and scope of which we have never seen before. There is no ETA on when the patch will drop, but gamers should keep their eyes on it as it could have heavy ramifications for how they play the game. The changes will extend to all three platforms (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC). The many fixes and changes DICE are working on are certainly welcomed by most of the community, with annoying problems finally being quashed. Till the patch drops I wish our readers the best of luck in their online matches and happy gaming. Check the source material for a full list of gameplay tweaks and fixes.
