The fact that they haven't is VERY peculiar. Seriously, a beta is due out by the end of the month and the hype machine on this is beyond any other game ever in the history of everness, and there's not one shred of official proof the game even exists on the 360. That's a big wtf.
I will never play another RO game after playing the first over-hyped piece of shit. The fans are so loud and obnoxious about it, they're like the Ron Paul fans of video games. Completely oblivious to just how shit it is.
Spoiler alert. Don't watch if you are saving yourself for the SP game.
Battlefield 3 Xbox360 Leaked Gameplay
Prob needs some major optimization for the 360 assuming the game is first catering to pc players...
If you want to discuss the Fisher-Price version go to the console forum. This is a PC gaming forum.Well duh, that goes without saying... the concern isn't that a PC-targeted game needs console optimization, it's that we're just over a month out from release and there's not a shred of evidence of said optimization.

Console footage seems to be running fine? Just not as pretty as PC? Everything seems normal to me.
OH NO. HOW WILL YOU EVER FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE THE 'NEW THREAD' BUTTON WHILE ON THE CONSOLE GAMING FORUM.This is the only active discussion of BF3 on this forum, and the current discussion is in response to GullyFoyle, among others, posting console-specific news.
Cliffs:
Fuck you
OH NO. HOW WILL YOU EVER FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE THE 'NEW THREAD' BUTTON WHILE ON THE CONSOLE GAMING FORUM.
Cliffs: take this console shit to the console forum.

anyone know if they're upping the damage to hardcore mode?
softcore is too ridiculous, and i think hardcore can still use a +25% damage from BFBC2 easily. 3-4 bullets is a lot, but the ridiculous softcore of putting like 9 bullets in someone is beyond retarded.
i'd be happy if normal mode is midpoint of softcore and hardcore health of BC2.
GameStop and SPIKE TV present an unprecedented behind the scenes look at four of the hottest fall blockbuster video games.

Never before seen Joker Carnival Challenge gameplay, first looks at UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer maps, unprecedented access inside DICE Studios for Battlefield 3 and the developers at Ubisoft Montreal share the blueprint for the Assassin's framework.
Then play hardcore and stop trying to change the game us casual players love.
I absolutely could not stand softcore in BC2... it took way too many rounds to take someone down.
DICE on Battlefield 3 PC as lead platform: people dont understand that the PC is more powerful
Tom Senior at 11:37am September 14 2011 Comments 83
DICE general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson has been talking to Eurogamer about why the PC is the lead platform for Battlefield 3. Console players have been concerned about the fact that the footage and screenshots of Battlefield 3 have mostly come from the PC version so far.
I have to say that this discussion is a bit over the top because people dont understand that the PC is more powerful than a console they havent looked under the hood and in detail, says Troedsson.
We always want to show a platform that we have chosen to be our lead platform. In this case we did choose PC as the lead platform; its the one that has been, mostly, driving development forward. That is the reason why we have spearheaded a lot of the key assets with this as well.
Troedsson tells Eurogamer that DICE uses PC as the lead platform in order to create the unique features that are only possible with the extra power of the PC, 64 player maps being the main one. Troedsson says that large scale battles are not possible on consoles because of demanding requirements like destruction, like scale, vehicles and this kind of thing.
You can get a sense of one of those 64 player battles from the Battlefield 3 Caspian Border trailer, filmed on a PC of course.

Over the weekend, developer build footage of Battlefield 3 on Xbox 360 was splashed onto the internet. EA subsequently yanked it down.
DICE general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson told Eurogamer this afternoon that this wasn't how he wanted people to experience Battlefield 3.
"As people have probably noticed, when we show our games - we are very proud of what we're doing - we always want to show it in the best light. We want to show the product as good as possible.
"Watching the game in crappy 320x200 resolution on YouTube is not the way that we want people to experience the game.
"We'd rather have them wait for us to show it in its real HD glory," he said. "There are a lot of hard hours that have gone into this from the team, and naturally we're disappointed. But, yeah, things happen.
The leak raised questions about why DICE hasn't yet released proper video fotoage or screenshots of Battlefield 3 on console - besides the off-screeen footage seen on US chat show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and on-stage at the EA Gamescom press conference.
"I understand you mostly see PC footage. It's all part of what kind of strategy we use for what we want to show and when, and what the lead platform is," explained Troedsson.
"People shouldn't worry. We play the 360 and the PS3 version every day in the office. I don't expect people to be disappointed by this."
"We always want to show a platform that we have chosen to be our lead platform. In this case we did choose PC as the lead platform; it's the one that has been, mostly, driving development forward. That is the reason why we have spearheaded a lot of the key assets with this as well.
"We'll show this on console as well," he added, "and when the beta goes live people will be able to play it on console and they can make up their minds for themselves if they believe we've been hiding something."
The PC was picked as lead platform, Troedsson explained, to build "unique" features "we felt we really needed in the game". Things like 64-player multiplayer, which is "not possible" on console when combined with aspects "like destruction, like scale, vehicles and this kind of thing".
"I have to say that this discussion is a bit over the top because people don't understand that the PC is more powerful than a console - they haven't looked under the hood and in detail," Troedsson elaborated.
"What we're really striving to do with Battlefield 3 is make the most out of each and every platform. And that also means between PlayStation 3 and 360, because they're quite different under the hood. So we've been spending a lot of time with all of these.
DICE recently revealed how Battlefield 3 uses near imperceptible black lines to fill the screen and fit a native 720p resolution on console. This allows DICE to save memory and boost performance.
What DICE won't do on console, however, is scrap jets.
"No, that's not true," said Troedsson. "If you play on console you will be able to play with jets as well."
Well, it's difficult to say one way or the other since all of this leaked footage was recorded at 240p. Honestly I don't have any problem with somewhat degraded fidelity - it's running on a console after all, and I never quite understood the backlash from the PS3 unveiling on Jimmy Fallon (which I thought looked quite good).
My only concern is that there hasn't been any official footage from the 360 version and only very limited footage from the PS3 version, and here we are in the 11th hour of development. It's almost as if they're hiding something or are severely behind schedule.
I'm buying one copy for PC and two copies for 360, so I'm pretty interested in how it's doing across each of the platforms.
