The Battlefield 3 update for Xbox 360 goes live today and includes plenty of fixes, balancing tweaks, and the possibility to rent your own server! Read on for the full details.
As you are reading this, the Battlefield 3 game update for Xbox 360 should be rolling out. This update is identical to the PlayStation 3 update that went live the other week. That means you get a lot of fixes, balancing tweaks, and some new functionality – including the addition of horns in all jeeps! You can find the change list in this previous blog post.
Below are some of the highlights in this massive game update. If you have studied the update on PS3 or PC previously, a lot of this information will be familiar to you.
Your server, your rules!
Like the PlayStation 3 update, this also marks the start of the Rent a Server functionality on Xbox 360. This means you can rent your own server and create your personal gaming experience. Check out the trailer below for an idea of the possibilities of this program. To ensure a robust experience, we are launching this feature at a limited capacity and ramping up in the coming days. If you are unable to rent a server, try again at a later date.
Beep beep! We have horns!
Yes! We have added horns to all jeeps in the game! Nothing says “Get in and man the machine gun so we can take back the airfield!” like three short beeps of the horn. Just press [LB] to make your presence known to friendly forces. Warning: Beeping also heard by opposition. Suggest limiting beeping when in enemy territory to keep vehicle in working order. This feature is also present in the PC and PlayStation 3 updates that are live.
Giving all players IR flares
To balance the battlefield and give budding pilots a fighting chance from day 1, we are now giving IR flares to all players. These will be automatically available to you in all air vehicles in the game. So if you’ve had a hard time staying up in the air previously, it should be easier to dodge incoming threats from now on. We hope this small but significant change will mean more players take to the skies and mix up their play style. This feature is also present in the PC and PlayStation 3 updates that are live.
More awards for skillful heli flying
One of the balancing items we have done in this game update is to better reward skillful heli pilots. To do this, we have increased the pilot’s score for transporting passengers who make kills from the heli. The assist score for heli pilots is now 50 points/kill. In a fully loaded transport, four passengers who make 1 kill each will give the pilot a sum total of 200 points. This balancing change is also present in the PC and PlayStation 3 updates that are live.
Making the SOFLAM a passive income gadget
The Recon gadget SOFLAM (laser target painter) has been given a new feature. Now, when a Recon player places it and then leaves it, it will continue to paint targets entering its area of control, continuously giving the Recon player a passive points income. This means a Recon player can place a SOFLAM in a strategic position, then leave it to find a good sniping spot. Combined with fixing a few scoring error in the SOFLAM, it should now be a much more viable source of experience points for Recons. This balancing change is also present in the PC and PlayStation 3 update that are live.
Suppressing is team play, too!
Another balancing change that reflects how we want every player to be able to contribute to the overall effort is the lowered threshold for achieving the Suppression Ribbon. From a previous requirement of 7, players now only need to perform 3 suppressions in a game to be rewarded the Suppression Ribbon. This means the Support Kit player can rack up scores by skillful use of his LMG. We’ve always know suppression helps – now we are more generously rewarding those team players who help disorient the enemy so we can move in for the kill. This balancing change is also present in the PC and PlayStation 3 update that are live.

[...] FIST enjoyed plenty of support from the strong play of the platoon as a whole. The only real challenge he or any of the rest of us ran up against involved BF3′s current overpowered weapon of ridiculous proportions – The M26 with underslung rail and heavy barrel. This weapon is essentially what the USAS-12 with frag rounds was prior to the patch that hit a few weeks back. [...]

Man this update is so bad like i cant play this game any more without stressing over which gun to use or what attachments to put on or if u even need a secondary like its all BS! i loved the way battlefield was bfor the update you guys fixed some things but mad alot of things wrose I really hope when the new map pack comes out theres another update to fix these issuses like all the classes n the aiming is harder way tooo much recoil on every singal gun like its stressful to play this game now i been playing battlefield since the beta and this feels like a completly different game please change it back not every thing but most of it………..
With this patch you have made hardcore to core. This patch has ruined the game for me, I chose bf3 over mw3 because your accuracy with the weapons was spot on to realism. you cant even use a lightmachine gun against the enemy because how badly the accuracy is. I see bullets travel ten feet high when my sights are not even kicking up to those points. People are noob tubing more than ever and hip fire accuracy is horrible… I give this patch an F in quality. Not to mention how you gave snipers a one shot kill, now lightmachine guns cant even strike fear into the sniper nest cause it takes 5 shots to drop him. Honestly you guys made this game a disappointment now. especially with hardly any dice servers. Why play a game that has no hardcore any more!
Give me a filter so i can find DICE or EA servers. I don’t want to play on private servers with people jacking up the ticket count 1000%
i do not like rent-a-servers. If i want to play on dice or ea server only, i got to manually use the search field rather than using the quick match feature.
The only thing I wish about the maps which would be a huge update, but I would like to see more little birds and z11 , I think there one of the funniest and efficient vehicles on the game, you can transport faster, fight other help, and all ground vehicles, or just sit back and laser designate. I think it would be really sick if it was on wake island, Kharg, and caspian border.
