Battlefield 3 will be getting a massive update coming in two days (Tuesday) at 8 am GMT (3 am EST). The total size of the patch comes in at 2gb. The reason for the file size being so large is that the patch carries a large part of the Back to Karkand expansion pack (due out on the 6th for those with PS3's). Here's a list of the incoming fixes: (via MP1ST)
