DICE has finally released a patch for Battlefield 3 to address the voice chat issues PS3 players have been complaining about since launch last year.
The developer has also suggested that some of you may be experiencing issues because of your connection setup with Sony's official PS3 Bluetooth headsets, and offers advice on fixing it:
Here's what it says:
If you are using the SLEH-00075 Bluetooth Headset, it must be recognized by your PS3 console by connecting it with a USB cable before play. Once connected, you must also enable the HQ Mode for this headset, which can be found on the XMB in the following location:
Settings
->Accessory Settings
->Manage Bluetooth Devices
->Press TRIANGLE on headset
->Information
->High Quality Mode
If you still have issues registering the headset, please go back to Accessory Settings->Manage Bluetooth Devices and delete all registered headsets. Once this is done repeat the above steps.
Battlefield 3 players can expect to get the first news on upcoming DLC for the game this week.
Speaking during EA's quarterly conference call last week, and responding to a question regarding the publisher's DLC strategy, vice president of investor relations Peter Ausnit said: "You're going to hear some announcements from us on Battlefield actually as early as next week in an event we've got in New York."

Does the PS3 version have the same problem as the xbox when you and a few mates get in a game and it puts you in different squads and often different teams?

Use the server browser and join a game with 10+ players instead of 20+ players...

Input lag is more of an issue than VOIP! How can you have a shooter where the shooting doesn't work right?

It ain't gonna be fixed because according to Dice there's nothing to fix.

What about the green flashes on screen and hanging when loading a game, on all platforms this affects and comes from the beta, still loads of bugs and glitches, I was in a building floor just the other day on Kharg Island, couldn't believe it.
I thought MW3 was bad but at least they patch as soon as something has been discovered.
