  1. Attention Battlefield Platoon!

    The October Update is out now! The update went live on our server this past week and brings some interesting changes to the game. The 40 player Operations have been completed removed from the game. Operations now only support 64 players. The first look at the December DLC Turning Tides might be coming to the CTE within the next two weeks. The update is approximately 2.8GB for those who haven't already downloaded it. Below is the full list of patch notes.
