Battlefield 3 Gets Another Massive Patch, Release Date June 4-5
Ever popular game Battlefield 3 is to get another massive patch, with the schedule for this update being as follows: PC and Xbox 360 worldwide: June 4th, PlayStation 3 in Japan/Asia: June 5th, PlayStation 3 in all other regions: June 4th.
This isn’t as big as the previous patch in March from developer DICE, but it’s still chock full of fixes and improvements such as, fixing AA missiles not doing damage to vehicles moving at very high speeds and fixing a bug where some vehicle unlocks were still enabled after the player left the vehicle. Also, in an unusual move, DICE have actually reversed the effects of the previous patch, so that helicopters now cause less damage to armoured vehicles, with the damage now matching the pre-patch level. Considerately, an option to make it easier for colour blind people to play has been added for consoles. For the full list of fixes and improvements, please click the link below.
- Removed the direct damage from aircraft launched guided missiles. Players will need to have laser designated targets for full effectiveness.
- Adjusted the M224 mortar damage against vehicles. Some tweaks and adjustments in a previous update accidentally increased its effectiveness greater than intended.
- Fixed a bug where some vehicle unlocks were still enabled after the player left the vehicle.
- Reduced input lag for gamepads/joysticks on all platforms. Aiming as a soldier when using a gamepad or joystick should now be more responsive.
- The L96 now properly shoots where the iron sights are aimed. The position was previously offset.
- Fixed exploit where you could teleport to the AA gun on carriers by firing an EOD bot at its door.
