colonel, can you explain the point of the high rez pack? Is it because they didnt have the room to fit it on the disc or is it to make it look better, if so, why didnt they include it in the game in the first place?

Battlefield 3 on the Xbox 360 will ship on two DVD discs: one for singleplayer and one for multiplayer. However, one of the discs will also contain a “high resolution texture” optional install, where users can install the high res texture pack for better visuals. Apparently, the optical drive of the Xbox 360 doesn’t have enough bandwidth to stream the high-res textures, so users will have to give up some free space on their harddrive if they want prettier graphics.PlayStation 3 version will also ship with the same optional texture pack install on the Blu-ray disc
