Also, I'm enjoying this so far- when I get a chance to play it. As for the textures being horrible (jabba), it's obvious that they didn't release the fully-rendered code. That's why some of the objects in the distance (non-scoped) aren't visible until you get closer.
I'm not too confident in that. BF3 for PS3 honestly didn't look much better than this, and if EA has learned anything from releasing a beta it's
beta = demo. I doubt they released an actual WIP beta knowing casuals will treat it as a demo and decide not to purchase because of that.
