Battlefield 3 - why so many huge updates?

I swear this game has a few gigs of updates every month. I opened origin for the first time in about a month and blam another update which just says "update".

dafuq? No new DLC is out, I have the latest Armoured Kill already.

Why complain about updates/patches that improve the game? I play BF3 all the time and I don't get all these constant updates you're talking about. Once a while, a pretty large patch comes but Origin downloads very fast.Elann2008

Some of it is because they do map changes and have to basically redownload the entire map which are quite large. Some early patches included the DLC content. nutcrackr

Can't do that. You can take DLC weapons and dogtags, etc into regular servers, you'd see people with invisible guns if they didn't have you download the DLC

cosign this, even when I had slow internet I enjoyed getting new updates.

It's probably because of all the content drops and balance tweaking they have to do (since BF3 is a huge game with a lot of little irksome bugs and balance issues that need ironing out), not to mention the upcoming End Game map pack, which I'm very excited for.

Updates are good, but why are they always so big?

You don't need a 2GB update to fix a couple of bugs and balance some weapons. I'm sure they could cut things down a bit.

Actually, after when I bought my Premium, I still had to do some downloading for CQ and AK.

I take it those who haven't got the game yet are going to spend a long time downloading?

Considering how awesome BF3's mp is, I dont mind the huge updates, specially since they improve the quality of the game!!
