A detailed look at Squad refinements

A detailed look at Squad refinements
Today's PC client patch features numerous tweaks to Squad functionality and is part of our ongoing efforts to make it easier to play with friends and Platoon mates. These changes will also be implemented for consoles when we release the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 updates shortly. Stay tuned for the exact date of the console updates.
First, we need to look at how joining with Squads and Platoons affects the balance of teams. Initially, servers are commanded to equal out each side, so joining with friends can impact that balance while joining with Platoons further hinders this. As a result we have made some adjustments to the in-game Squad management screen.
For PC, you are now able to highlight the various Squads and select which one you wish to join by selecting a Squad and then clicking the Join Squad button. Please note that the Squad Privacy option still allows 2 man Squads which, during 64 player sessions, can lead to players with no squad position - the number of people with no Squads will be shown at the bottom of the Squad selection list.
After the patch is applied to consoles (in the near future) you will be able to join Squads by cycling through the list and selecting which Squad you wish to join.

I had the same problem, I clicked 'Update' in BL and it opened the store page from battlefield 3 in Origin,
I was like wut i bought it right?
So I decided to reinstall it but before that I restarted Origin and then it just began updating out of nowhere.
Origin is such a piece of crap, i've always hated steam but since Origin, I don't want anything else then steam

the bar raises from 0 -> 100% in 1 sec without even downloading anything and it says "all installs complete"
yeah right, fuck this and fuck the support. these guys are giving me tips like "please change the origin language and download the patch then" - "please restart your computer" - "download the patch" <- (was the best advice even if i told him before that its fails since 2 days) - or (please click on the game and select "check for updates")

the support was way better before origin was implemented

They probably don't know anything about the program itself,
EA just gave some kind of list with random things they can answer.
It's cheaper that way
Thanks EA!

You will rebuy it on Steam?!

Also: Sounds like a good patch. I actually didn't hate anything in this game but still it sounds like stuff they did the right way.
