If you read MyGaming every day like you should, you’ll already know that the Xbox version of Battlefield 3 will be shipping out on two discs.
That’s mostly because it doubles the fun, but also because – it turns out – the second disc will include an optional high resolution texture pack.
“There’s a voluntary install on the 360,” game producer, Patrick Liu, tells GamerZines. “I think Rage did it as well, where you can install content to stream higher res textures.”
“We’re pushing that technology to the limit, and compared to our competitors, I would argue that we’re the best looking game.”

My Magic 8 Ball says “UNLIKELY”, but I guess we’ll find out when the game launches later this month.
Liu doesn’t say whether or not the PS3 version will get something similar, but considering the enormous storage capacity of the console’s Blu-ray format, it may be that the game features high resolution textures by default.
Battlefield 3 will be blasting it’s way to you on 28 October 2011.
