Battlefield 3 patch on Xbox 360 today and server update for Heat Seekers and TV missiles

The game altering Battlefield 3 patch, which hit Playstation 3 and PC last week, is going to officially launch on Xbox 360 today, April 3. The patch includes the same fixes and tweaks as the Playstation 3 and PC version (see full BF3 patch details).

This patch additionally delivers the Rent a Server option which allows gamers to create their own Battlefield 3 server full of customized settings. The server charge starts at 120 Microsoft Points a day and goes up to 4,800 Points for 90 days.

Additionally the official Battlefield twitter account reported that a server update will also take place today. During this time, “you may be kicked from your game, but should be able to rejoin.” Gustav Halling outlined, “we are rolling out a server-fix for Heat seekers and TV-missiles bugs today.” He went on to explain how TV-missiles are being tweaked, “we are nerfing it down, it was not intentional to 1-hit kill all 100% healthy vehicles in the game.” However, he noted, “Small notice. The server side fixes today is consoles only. PC will follow shortly since they have their own update days.”
