DICE has pledged that a series of updates for Battlefield 3 are currently being prepped to address “balance and gameplay, performance, stability and the overall feature set”, as revealed in a news entry on Battlelog.

Starting today, the Swedish developer is planning to roll out a minor PC update which will add support for Intel’s upcoming Ivy Bridge product line and boost performance of AMD’s 7xxx series graphics cards.
