Battlefield 3 - Update - Possible Downtime

Apr 02 2012 10:13 PM | AOBLXIX in PC

Well as we know there have been many Ups and Downs with the latest patch, and I think this is the time where the people at EA/DICE are saying "Oh sh**, we kind of screwed up"  Because this is the probably the fastest I've ever seen them work since the release of Battlefield 3.
So there will be downtime unfortunately, we aren't certain how long. This should be starting around 1 am PST. It could be 2 am, not exactly certain. Sometimes I wish they would post times for every time zone. :)

Below is the official announcement that they released on Battlelog

We will be making updates to game servers on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 April 3rd starting at 8 AM UTC until 4 PM UTC. During this time you may be kicked from your game, but should be able to reconnect shortly after or connect to a different server.




So what do you guys expect this downtime will be for us PC Users? We know it's the release for X-Box of the patch that we got a few days ago. But what could they be doing for PC and PS3 users? Making some changes to the patch?

Let us know what you think by leaving a comment!

I dream tanks will be tanks again, and not just slow Jeeps.

I doubt they'll make changes to the content of the patch, even minor tweaks. Demize99 (senior gameplay designer) has said that they want to make sure that all platforms are identical in the future in terms of content. There's no way a change to the Xbox patch would have been approved since the PC patch rolled out, so changes until the next official patch are not likely.

i luckily dont mind the new tank damage. 3 hits is a lot better than the previous 5/6 especially when there are two tanks on your one.

Tank-v-Tank, yeah, OK. Although it now comes down to who shoots first (hmm...maybe that's OK too). Perks don't seem to make any difference at all. But one shot from a chopper clear across the map? Or to get torn up by a flyover in 2.5 seconds? That's just ridiculous.
I like a fair fight. At least give me a couple seconds to defend myself.
