The beta and release version differs so much in gameplay it may as well be different games.

gonna take that it differs in a good way and go ahead and pick it up I guess.

havent played a BF since 2142 so gonna be a nice change.

In a very good way. The beta was actually a really old build -almost pre-alpha old.. They increased survival and emphasized more on objectives and team play to differentiate in from the CoD-like game play in the beta.

A comparison video of Battlefield 3 for Xbox 360 by WikiGamesGuides reveals what kind of difference the HD texture pack makes. Last week, EA finally fessed up to the feature, with executive producer Patrick Bach saying the difference would make the the game look "standard-def." He wasn't kidding -- the difference is staggering.

The pack install is optional because, unlike PCs and PS3, hard drives aren't standard for the Xbox 360. The real question, though, is why does it look this bad without the pack? Even ignoring all other non-EA, DICE games, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 didn't require a hard drive install and still looked fantastic. If you don't have a hard drive for your Xbox 360, consider this a warning.

seriously lol

A 5850 is going to struggle with BF3. I'd recommend keeping the res at 1920x1200 (or 1920x1080) or lower.

i may be streaming later for those who are wondering about it.

thats what I thought also but these websites that allow you to check your specs for the games say i should be able to play it on rather high settings. I can play black ops almost maxed out, doesnt look that much more intense but I could be horribly mistaken.

I'll try the lower res thanks!

not out til the 28th in the UK, i only have a 460gtx 1gb, but then i also only have a 15' monitor so my max res is only 1280x1024, so i shouldn't have many FPS issues, still unsure about origin though

I went back a few pages, all I see is videos and hype. Nothing to really indicate whether or not it's good, unless it's people just complaining about having to use Origin. (which includes me)
