LMAO!
Not only did DICE ? on 360 users when they opted to give PS3 users Battlefield 1943 for FREE.
Not only did DICE ? on 360 users when they opted to give PS3 users Battlefield 3 DLC a week early.
360 users also got the short end of the stick when they found out BF3 would be on 2 discs (LOL@changing discs, losers).
But now this!!!
so basically anyone without the 360 harddrive space, or anyone that bought one of those 360 Arcade units will have to play this game in standard definition.
Ive also read that the texture pack is 6GB, while many early 360 consoles were only 4GB. Those poor saps will be playing in standard def.

Battlefield 3 Xbox 360 looks 'standard-def' without install - DICE
Battlefield 3's executive producer, Patrick Bach, has gone into more detail on the optional high-res texture installation for the Xbox 360 version.
Gamerzines caught up with Bach and asked for more information.
"There's nothing magic about it," said Bach. "It's the same thing we do for PC and PS3, so there's nothing extra.
"I think the controversy about this is that we actually let you do it on 360 for once. So what it does is it gives you the same abilities, kind of, as the PC and PS3. You can actually stream information from the hard drive.
"That's new for Xbox 360, but it's not a new idea for the gaming industry as a whole. No one has really tried to do it properly, so us doing it will create question marks."
Bach assures us that installing the high-res texture pack will actually make a noticeable difference.
"It does make a difference, yes, absolutely. The whole engine is based around streaming textures, streaming terrain and a lot of other content.
"The thing with the 360 is that you need to be able to give consumers a game where you don't have to install it on a hard drive, because there are 360s without a hard drive. So we need to give you the option of installing it, rather than just demanding it. You could call it a 'standard-def' version for the 360 if you don't have a hard-drive."
It's not the Frostbite engine that's demanding the use of streaming tech though, Bach informs.
"It's not the engine that demands it, but that it has the ability to create a more detailed experience. We can't use more memory of the actual machine itself, we need to flush that memory with new information depending on where you are in the game.
"What we let you do is let you have high-res information that gets streamed in and out of memory at all times, and that gives you a more detailed, varied and vivid experience on all platforms. We don't want to take that away from 360 players.
"We're really trying to push the limits of what we can do on the consoles and the PC. Our goal is to see how we can utilise as many of the systems that you actually have in your machine that some people haven't utilised before. Some (developers) just do it like, if it doesn't fit into memory we just make a lesser game. We don't do that. For us, it's about how we can give you the most game ever even though the hardware is over five years old."
Bach didn't say how much space the high-res textures will take up on the hard drive though, but it definitely sounds like it's worth installing if you want your Battlefield 3 to look the best it can.
so basically anyone without the 360 harddrive space, or anyone that bought one of those 360 Arcade units will have to play this game in standard definition.

this is like a porno movie I watched the other day.
The guy is ? some broad in the washroom. you know... the usually porn flick.... then all of a sudden he grabbed her by the hair and shoved her head in the toilet and flushed. The guy was like "yes!! tell me youre a filthy ? .. tell me you like it" and the broad did as she was told and said she liked it. In this case DICE is the ? and 360 users are the fuckee. DICE is treating you like straight hoes and you just accept it!!!! -
*reserved for ps3*

You know both 360 and PS3 has the install option. Only difference is it comes on 2 discs on 360 because if DVD space.
Only problem is if you got a 4GB model 360. -

Everyone said that Rage looked better on 360 before the game released so that wasn't a surprise. They didn't even demo the PS3 version until late, so people were already expected it to be sub-par. The only real shock is that they say that the console version is better than the PC version. -

Yeah but they were getting on the 360 for being 3 disc and how ps3 was going to be better cause it was on one bluray
No console version going to look better than the pc version which is why i dont understand why everybody mad hype for bf3 on the consoles -
PS3 is the lead console for Battlefield 3, so it goes without saying that it will look better on PS3.
Plus BF3 on 360 without the texture pack looks like a N64 game. I feel sorry for anyone that doesnt have the HDD space for that download. -
360 version without the Texture Download
PS3 version
Ps3 is clearly better. I wonder how many RROD's this game will cause for 360 owners. -
I'm LMAO so damn hard right now, the 360 version is straight up garbage!!!!
Its not just little details, the 360 version is missing a shitload of stuff. It looks like a damn N64 game. ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLL thats what you get for selling ? consoles with no HDD and going with HD-DVD instead of Blu Ray. LAAAAAAAUCCCCCCCCEEEEEE LMAO 360 is for ? -
wow 360 gettin their GoldenEye on lol
-
lets be honest though. as funny as that pic is, why WOULDNT u install it on the hd if u had a 360? that is, unless u have the ? arcade or the 4 gig only. well then ur screwed.

lol @ the 360 version not having the screwdriver, 9V Battery and the remote control. PS3 WON!!!
-
But seriously, why compare the non-HD 360 version with the PS3 version with the HD upgrade? The PS3 version will look just as bad without the install.
