1.34 GB patch includes netcode improvements and the ability for helicopters to do barrel rolls; see the full patch notes here.

Developer DICE on Tuesday released Battlefield 4's long-awaited Winter patch across console and PC. The hefty patch weighs in at around 1.34 GB, according to DICE LA.


The Battlefield 4 Winter patch features a raft of changes and tweaks, including the general improvement of netcode and new anti-cheat measures. The patch also introduces a new Squad Oblitation game mode and three new Premium playlists: "Large Scale Battles," "The Battlefield," and "Close Quarters."

Elsewhere, the patch also introduces more agile physics for Helicopters, meaning they can now do barrel rolls.

The full Battlefield 4 Winter patch notes are available below. You can also check out this PDF that illustrates some of the changes visually. Today's Winter patch follows the Fall patch, which was released in October.

Battlefield 4 launched fall 2013 to a number of problems, but DICE has been improving the online experience and releasing new content ever since. Even with Battlefield Hardline's release now just a couple weeks away, DICE plans to continue balancing the game and is even making an all-new map based on community feedback.
