The patch for Battlefield 3 will be available on November 22nd and features a massive list of fixes. It will be first released on the PC, and then the consoles. The said the reason was due to console certification process that takes a while.
We will soon publish a major client update for the PC version Battlefield 3 as well as a server-side update for all platforms.The update will be made on Nov. 22nd 7:00 AM UTC / Nov. 21st 11:00 PM PST. We’ll share release timing on the console patches as soon as we are clear on the timing, these take a bit longer due to console certification process.
