DICE onthult verbeteringen van aanstaande patch Battlefield 3

Eerder vandaag werd bekend dat community site Battlefieldo Electronic Arts en DICE een ultimatum heeft gesteld en dreigt met een complete black-out. De site is het zat dat er zo weinig wordt gecommuniceerd met de fans en hierdoor kreeg EA tot 2 maart de tijd om informatie over de volgende grote patch bekend te maken. Zojuist heeft ontwikkelaar DICE op haar blog de inhoud van die grote patch bekendgemaakt, misschien wel uit angst voor die mogelijke black-out. Helaas heeft het bedrijf niet gezegd wanneer de patch zal worden uitgebracht.

We would like to share some of the confirmed fixes and tweaks that we have been working on to the community.

Note that this is still not a full update list and there will be more information on this as we go forward. Also please remember that the content in this list might be changed but of course, we will also keep you in the loop about this.

While there still is no ETA on the patch, we’re still working on improving online gameplay for all of our dear community members.

Een deel van de enorme lijst aan verbeteringen en fixes staat hieronder. De rest kun je vinden op de officiële blog.
