We recently published that the Xbox360 would have 2 DVDs for the full game. Well it looks like EA have confirmed that this is true. Since the Xbox360 has two DVDs, our assumption is that the PC Retail Version will also feature the same amount. With frostbite 2 being such a hefty engine, it’s understandable that the game files would be large. According to Eurogamer, each disc will be split between singleplayer / multiplayer:

“Battlefield 3 for Xbox 360 ships on two discs with endless hours of spectacular high-definition gameplay,” EA told us this afternoon.

“Disc one features the stunning multiplayer, co-op levels and HD installation content.

“Disc two features the superb single-player campaign.”

Since that has ever fucking mattered.

BF3 has a steel book case??

To be honest though... Why don't they do this with more games on the xbox?

cause in other games you get dlc so you can finish the story xD

I chaning providers in a month so Ima have some better internet for when bf3 comes out

Bf2 anyone?

Today was the first public presentation of Battlefield 3 in France. The conference was lead by Kusa, the French Community manager as well as KM Troedsson, the General Manager of DICE. What’s most interesting though, is Kusa made a statement about the Battlefield 3 Open Beta.

“Regarding the beta on PC, it is ready, but many require a beta preparations, DICE is working to accelerate these preparations with Microsoft and Sony. Once these are completed, the beta will begin.” – Kusa (via PlaneteBF.fr)

Thousands if not millions of Battlefield players are eagerly awaiting the Open Beta. Even though it is stated to come out in September, with no official word on a date it’s interesting to hear that in fact the PC Beta is ready to roll. Companies like Microsoft and Sony have a system where they must approve a build before it is distributed. This usually takes around 2 – 3 weeks. Our guess is that EA/DICE most likely sent their current build to be approved a week or two ago so that the Beta could be launched on all three platforms at the same time. While it does make you drool a lot more knowing the BF3 Open Beta is ready, at least it’s only a matter of 2 weeks until all of us get our hands on the game in the comfort of our own homes. Via Forums
