In real Battlefield 3 news, Battlefield 3 servers across all platforms will be going down for maintenance later this week.

According to an update on the Battlelog service, DICE “…will perform maintenance May 29 between 2AM-7AM PST. During this window, BF3 multiplayer will be unavailable on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 in that order. Entire window is approximately 5 hours. Stay tuned to our official channels for notification when your platform is back up.”

No word as to what the update might pertain to, though we could presume that a number of unused servers are being taken offline and/or a few stability bugs are being ironed out.

A 96-hour Battlefield 3 double XP event ended yesterday, so if you missed it, be sure to keep your sights on MP1st for any potential upcoming events!
