How to download the March update on your platform

“PC: As soon as you start your Origin client, the latest game update will automatically start downloading (unless you’ve disabled the option ‘Automatically keep my games up to date’, in which case it will start downloading when you try to run the game). In Battlelog, you will be notified from the Game Manager. Once you acknowledge the update, it will start downloading within the Origin client.”

PlayStation 3: When you start the game, you will be prompted that there is an update available. To continue, you must accept the update, which will install automatically.”
