Beta vs Full Version

The beta is MP only, and will contain a subset of the maps (3 maps) with all 3 gametypes. We will likely rotate in/out maps throughout the course of the beta. And disks are already being pressed, but the disks don't ship with the game code. That means we can (and most likely will) fix any bugs we find right up until release day.
It's going to be a full download even if you buy the disc version?

So, discs won't do anything to lower the download time?

Will those who bought via Steam still need to do a full download of the final release version, or will their download be smaller because they already have some of the files?

Not an issue for me personally, but I'm thinking more for those who are on some kind of a maximum data plan. Plus, there's the annoyance of Steam content servers choking out a lump with the bandwidth demand as well.
