Appears you need to do the full install for best visuals on 360.. http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/battlefield_3/news/xbox_360_battlefield_3_standard_def_without_install.html "The thing with the 360 is that you need to be able to give consumers a game where you don't have to install it on...

Yes but if there just laying prone not moving it can be tricky picking out there location.

I've seen the light reflection thing a few times. Trouble is if your not facing that direction you wont see it at all, so if you spawn at base and just sprint towards the objective w/o looking around you'll never notice it

Just my .02.... I honestly don't see BF3 picking up many newcomers to the franchise. The game is not "pick up n play" by any means, and can get very frustrating really quick. The only reason I have any idea on what i should be doing is from checking various threads. Now i know this is just...

Not quite sure I fully understand what you are saying. Seeing as most games are below 720p I'm sure some kind of up-scaling has to take place

Thanks for all the quick answers, I just asked because coming from ps3(set to 1080p) it used to "seem" like games played a tad smoother when I only had 720p checked. Guess it was all in my head lol

A quick and hopefully easy question... Both my plasma and DLP TV's are native 1080p. On my 360, to get the best in game performance should I have the resolution set to 720p or 1080p?

I'm playing it on 360 Well I can't really comment on how soon items re-spawn but I did notice when returning to "safe areas" the items in fact are there again. In my experience its only health and small amounts of cash. The way the game flows I found no reason to "want" to try to exploit...

Resident Evil 5 (360) :oops: I know I'm late to the party but I really don't like the suspense/horror games but a buddy promised that RE5 was more of a "paced shooter" lol. We finished it in co-op and I must say I really enjoyed that game.

Will try this out when I get back home, thanks

My latency seems to stay under 40ms but what is DNS response time?

Only thing powered on is my 360 or ps3, I may use my pc once a month. I'M almost 100% I dont have any neighbors leaching either

I'm sure that's due to the massive install base but I figured most people would have an ps360 by now and would prefer the HD options, then again there are a LOT of Wii's out there

Not quite sure as I play on console the only indication I have to go by is the connection bars, but if I'm to go by them they're normally 3 to 4 green bars.

OK not quite sure if this belongs here so please move if necessary. Can someone please give me a brief overview of what lag is caused by, or how much does upload speed effect lag (if at all). Brief history, I pretty much play COD exclusively and i notice that whenever people start...
