Playstation 3 gamers will get a 1 GB update notification if they sign into Battlefield 3 today. What's inside? Quite a bit.
Most notably, players can now purchase "shortcuts." This means with real currency players can nab several unlock packs. Here they are:
On top of the new in-game store, DICE and EA have introduced a rent-a-server service. For $1.49 / $6.99 / $24.99 / $64.99, you can get your very own server for 1 / 7 / 30 / 90 days.
Private servers give players full customization over their matches, from HUD visibility, to number of tickets, and much more. Custom names, descriptions, and logos come as part of the package.
Based on players wants, Wake Island now gets a five flag layout. But due to the big fixes, PS3 players also have to re-download Back to Karkand due to a bug fix. For a full list of every fix, including small tweaks like short fall damage and increased spawn protection, check out the Battlefield Blog.
There is no date yet for the PC and Xbox 360 release of these new features, but we'll update you as soon as one shows up.
