Does anyone know if origin will still be required to play? Also what of the rumors of steam and battlefield 3?

nice no trying to download on release day \o/ so far I have no complaints about origin. I would rather have it on steam with my other games but I can live with it

Dunno about either, but I would venture to say that if pre-loads start tomorrow, it's too late to expect it to be on Steam for launch. Amazon has the digital download currently at just under $50 if you pre-order, so that's one slightly cheaper route.

I think it will be required. No BF3 on Steam either:

I heard something about Steam supporting BF3, but I didn't fully read the article. I'll take what you guys stated earlier as true, not that it matters to me anyways.

By "restricts our ability to directly support our players" They mean "takes a % of sales price"....

So if PS3 and 360 get hi-res texture packs to be optionally downloaded to their hard drives, and that data is streamed from the hard drive to the game while playing, I can't wait to see a comparison between PS3/360 and PC once this texture pack is applied to consoles. /run-on sentence

Of course it won't be "as good" as PC, but I think it'll be damn close.

edit: Rumored to be 22GB of textures... I find that hard to believe as the game only takes up about 9GB of space to begin with...

It won't. No way in hell it will look or perform as good as a proper gaming PC.

>implying i'd return Battlefield 3 over any COD game.

Battlefield 3 would have to be epically shitty for me to even consider that.
