Welcome back for another exciting Head2Head! While we wait for our full analysis on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of DICE’s Battlefield 3, we wanted to show you the differences between the Xbox 360 version with the HD texture pack installed and without the HD texture pack installed. The winner out of these two is pretty “clear”
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
OMG without the texture pack the 360 version looks like a PlayStation 2 game.
For a second I thought they compared a N64 game with Battlefield 3. Come to find out, that's actually Battlefield 3.
Omg seriously, why in the world was the texture pack just not included in the first place? To have an optional install after the game was developed is really silly and seems like poor development...
Poor X360 core/arcade owners.
Obvious that the texture pack is a much better look then non-texture pack! The first image alone shows that. (what is that... spilled milk??) But why did they use a blurred picture for the non-HD picture in the group shot? (which appears to be broken down into separate shots to pinpoint areas??)
You can see clearly in the full shot on the last pick that the photo they used was blurred. Just look at the foot of the soldier and the gun that appears transparent.
Was that to exaggerate texture comparison? Shouldn't they at least get a quality grab of each version before they start comparing?
