Chief among the changes is long-awaited improvements to the PC's "commo-rose" interface -- the hot-menu used for sending quick voice commands to your team that had been clumsy to the point of uselessness since the game's launch last October.
For console players, the biggest deal this time around is the introduction of server rentals -- a feature that the PC version has had since launch, however since third party providers aren't able to run BF3 console servers like they can for PC (EA DICE run all BF3 console servers via an exclusive deal with i3D) this hasn't previously been an option for PS3 and X360 players. More details on just how this will work on consoles is expected in the next few days.
As always, the patch also includes an exhaustive list of gameplay balance changes and bug fixes far too numerous to list here. So hit up the patch notes for a complete breakdown (and to rage at SOFLAM being even further disincentivised).
Following this one, the next major update for Battlefield 3 will likely accompany the upcoming Close Quarters DLC in June.

Soflams where being used by both sides and Javelins were abound. It was great, one of the most fun BF3 Wake Island games I've played. I flew an attack chopper, manned the guns and flew jets. Received several javelins to end my flights, not after killing a tank or two and some troopers. It really kept you on your toes.
I also provided many a Javelin to take down choppers, jets and tanks. The game seemed so much better with concentrated tank/aircraft and troopers. If the vehicles left the infantry support alone they where quickly taken down by SOFLAM/Javelin combos, this forced them to work together. The combat was pretty intense and each game finished with only 100 tickets on the winning side left. Pretty close.
TLDR; SOFLAM/Javelin combos make the game heaps more fluid and enjoyable, nerfing Soflam is crazy talk.

Flares will now brake Javelin/SOFLAM lock-ons.
