DICE drops details on what gamers can expect in the first Battlefield 3 patch.

Battlefield 3’s online play is tons of fun, but it is not without these issues. DICE are aware of these issues and are working real hard to resolve them via a patch. While a date for this patch has not been announced, they did divulge a few details via a post on their official blog .

Ready for deployment

For starters, the patch will implement server updates to improve server stability. This hopefully means you won’t get randomly kicked off servers anymore. Next, they plan on improving weapons balancing, squad control functionality, user interface enhancement and lots more. I personally hope they nerf the Tactical light as well as the lens flare brightness. This patch will hit PC first after which it will be available for both Xbox360 and PS3.

Oh and in case you come across any hackers or cheaters make sure you report them via Battlelog so DICE can ban their accounts completely. Also if you’re just started playing this game, do check out our multiplayer guide for beginners. It may save your life.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now. see more
