New game and server update on PS3 and PC today
We are also happy to be pushing a new game update and server update live today on PS3 and PC. See below for the full change list and download instructions. Let us know what you think in the comments section below. X360 will get the same game update in conjunction with End Game at a later date (no later than March 12th).

Please note: As usual, the server update takes some time to populate all available PC servers. Servers that are not yet updated with the latest version will not be playable until they have undergone the update. If you are unable to join your favorite PC server presently, please use the server browser to find another server for now. If it has active players, it means it has already been updated with the latest server version.
