15GB altogether, that's with the HD texture pack.

Re: Battlefield 3
 

I've only 11GB free, time to remove bf2 then me thinks

Re: Battlefield 3
 

That's both discs though, you could just keep the MP disc installed instead.

Re: Battlefield 3
 

Strange - BF3 just arrived, so I popped the disc in, and it started downloading the entire game through Origin.

I can see STM kicking in some time soon.

Re: Battlefield 3
 

I think for just the HD textures it's about 1.5Gb, I think installing each disk is about 8Gb each.

Re: Battlefield 3
 

Disc 1 = 7.3GB
Disc 2 = 6.7GB
HD pack = 1.5GB

It says something doesn't it when disc 1 is the MP disc.

Re: Battlefield 3
 

Me too :)

Re: Battlefield 3
 

It says downloading, but it installs from the disc. It downloads an update, but that's all

Re: Battlefield 3
 

Well, it's taken two and a half hours so far (97% at the moment) - it asked me to change disks about an hour ago....

Update - now it's updating from the web - 472MB.

I will see if it will run on Vista and the current 8800GTX card.

Re: Battlefield 3
 

You might want to upgrade that graphics card!!!!

Re: Battlefield 3
 

It's on its way - nvidia 560 1GB

Re: Battlefield 3
 

I had trouble finding a game but I just selected a server manually.

Re: Battlefield 3
 

Same here oredered it from amazon, few hour before the dead line finished (limited edition version), 2 day post. come saturday morning 8:35am.. it was mine :o::D

Then 2 hours of downloading, origin first + game second third browser patch & not forgetting my gpu driver update(nivdia >patch 280.62/285.62). Oh yes too... my email from amazon - "BF3 Specact DLC" package + the 1911 pistol (leaflet in disc box)+ the free improved "back to karkland" map (when released) from BF2 within the deal. Not bad mee thinks. :p:

How did the install for others go like? rough/smooth/problem-matic? Let us know if you could be so kind:dunce:

Pricey buggers ain't they, those gpu cards... some like the 580 GTX overclocked would nice in my box...but looking around > Asus 1GB GeForce GTX 560TI DirectCUII PCI-E Graphics Card was a good fair price for anybody to upgrade to while I found looking around for a new one... then found there was an a new driver for my aging (nicely) nivdia 240 GTS (in computer from new).

Happy hunting all..
