You don’t say. Huh. Well that’s a HUGE relief, on the graphics front.

I totally would play BF3 on PC if I owned a PC. But alas, I am a Mac man. And also, death to Origin.

The hi-res graphics are part of a hard drive install that will be available on the game disc for consoles (apparently Rage did this as well). I’m assuming the beta didn’t have those hi-res textures. I would recommend playing BF3 on PC anyway, as long as you can stand using Origin.

I hope you’re right, Crimson. But I dunno. The Halo and Gears betas both looked pretty similar to launch, at least to my eyes.

You remember that the beta is a condensed version of the game. At 1.5gig you’re most likely no going to have hi-res textures & models.
