360 Battlefield 3 is ‘Standard-Def’ without Texture Pack

Texture pack will come on a separate DVD.

360 owners are going to want to clear some space on their hard-drive ahead of next week's Battlefield 3 launch.

As previously reported, the 360 version of Battlefield 3 will ship with an additional DVD containing a texture pack for optional installation to the 360's hard-drive. These high-definition textures will be streamed from the hard-drive during the game to enhance DICE's visual representation of its own take on modern warfare.

The original story raised a number of questions concerning a possible disparity between the different versions of Battlefield 3 and so at this week's EA showcase in London, Gamerzines asked executive producer, Patrick Bach, to clarify the purpose of the optional texture pack.
