Battlefield 3 – disponibile la patch per PC!

In tantissimi l’aspettavate con ansia e finalmente è arrivata. Disponibile da oggi, su Origin, la patch di Battlefiled 3 per la versione PC del gioco. Per voi amanti di Xbox 360 o PS3 c’è ancora da aspettare, ma considerato che l’aggiornamento console è in fase di certificazione, l’attesa non sarà lunga!

L’aggiornamento consentirà una maggiore velocità dei caricamenti, un miglioramento generale delle prestazioni del gioco e una modifica dei danni su numerose armi. Ci saranno una serie di fix per corregere i diversi bug riscontrati e dei notevoli cambiamenti al gameplay tra i quali segnaliamo per importanza il fatto che ora lo spawn non possa più avvenire troppo vicino a un nemico. Miglioramenti e correzioni anche per il server; non sarà più possibile usare il trucco del Bot EOD per accumulare punti esperienza. Migliorata, inoltre, la gestione delle squadre nelle partite multiplayer con nuove opzioni e nuovi indicatori.

Di seguito vi riportiamo l’elenco completo delle modifiche che apporterà l’ aggiornamento. Buon divertimento!
