Sorry for wrong forum posting, but this forum's more active and I need an answer ASAP!

As I've read, battlefield 3 Xbox updates are pretty big, but I need to know the bare minimum size of updates I need for going on multiplayer. NO DLCs. Just standard maps. Because I have to decide if I'm going to get this game WITHIN MINUTES!!!

Thanks in advance!

I've stopped playing BF3 because of ridiculous upadates. I want to jump into a game, nope heres a 2 gig update.. then a week later oh heres another gig update.. I just want to play the dam game and I don't notice anything hugely significant to warrant such massive updates. It's just annoying when you want to play.

My BF3 is like 8GB of updates I think and that's without installing the disc itself. Each update is like 1.2-2GB generally.

The updates are really bug, but it's worth it. Not a reason to not get an awesome game. And they'll be much less frequent now that all of the DLC is out

Thanks for the responses. I decided to pick up battlefield 3, but there is *Sigh* one more thing. Now I looked online and I'm seeing mixed responses about making an Origin/EA account. Do I have to make one of these? I don't care about the battlelog thing, I just want to play online. That *HOPEFULLY* is it.

It's your call if you'd like to get the Battlelog.battlefield.com account, it basically tracks your stats, progress and friends in social media. The updates are about 4GB without DLC (13GB with them) if you include the HD content (1.5GB) to improve the destructible environments.
