http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/07/batt3_530x298.jpg (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/22/battlefield-3-patched-for-pc-server-side-consoles-waiting-on-c/)Battlefield 3's first, er, second (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/21/our-battlefield-3-review-why-were-splitting-it-up-and-why-con/) major patch is now live server-side and for PC, with console updates coming as soon as the patch finishes the certification process. There's no mention of the tactical flashlight fix (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/21/battlefield-3-patch-cooking-on-pc-for-next-week-consoles-to-fol/), but patch notes confirm that squad selection has received a significant upgrade.
Changes to squad functionality, detailed on the Battlefield blog (http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield_bad_company/archive/2011/11/21/multiple-fixes-and-new-squad-functionality-in-today-s-pc-patch-for-battlefield-3.aspx), include the removal of "find me a squad" and other streamlining enhancements. Squads that are empty will now show up in white and occupied squads in blue, so it'll be easier for friends to quickly select a room to join together.
We've placed the full patch notes after the break, since EA decided you need a Battlelog account to view it otherwise (and we know plenty of people who still can't get that mess to work).
