Battlefield 3 will apparently come to Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3. Xbox Live Gold membership will be required for access to the Battlefield 3 beta on Xbox 360. All I can say is “FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU”.
Check img below from MOH site:
Could this mean the end of the PC franchise? I mean we all know how well “PC to console” ports go, right? WRONG !!!!!!!!!!! They most definitely cripple the end experience for PC gamers. We all know that the economy is tough and companies are looking to save money. But in all honesty this might just be the biggest mistake in PC gaming history. We all remember what a shocker it was to play Battlefield 1942, and how innovative and creative Battlefield 2 turned out to be. For gods sake when Battlefield 2 came out there were maybe 10 desktops in the world that could run that game on high settings with all the features and effects they introduced.
Should we lie to our-self thinking that they will keep the console version different from PC version? How many game developers are doing this in these tough times? Simple answer, none.
Possible differences between PC vs Console versions will undoubtedly be:
- Number of players per map.
- Thats pretty much it.
This makes you wonder now if Gordon Van Dyke really left the company to “be closer with his family”, or because he knew that his beloved franchise was going to become a port. I still hold a glimpse of hope that Battlefield 3 PC version will truly be a worthy predecessor to BF2. For some reason I still believe DICE’s CEO when he said “Battlefield 3 will blow everyone away”. As a hardcore Battlefield gamer I can see many gamers who loved the BF2 series opt for the console version. I mean why spend 800.oo dollars upgrading your gaming rig, when I can just pick up a xBox 360 version for 59.99 ?? Most definitely that will be the case for every media-core Battlefield fan. This scenario will only yield in less PC players, less servers, less fun. This is a true blow to the PC gaming industry, as in the recent years its getting no love from developers.
Please post your input on this situation. I would love to hear your opinion.

I think you are looking too far into it. It says “for xbox 360 users”. that doesnt mean the beta is exclusive to xbox.

I was trying to find if anything had been leaked or posted about BF3 and i stumbled across this article and I just wanted to say one thing; get the fuck over yourselves. Whats the problem with it going to consoles? They’ve already stated that they’re going to spend extra time with the PC version to make sure it doesn’t disappoint the original fans, but I guess there’s always gonna be some fanboys crying over the non-exclusivity of a game that used to be only for their platform. Needless to say I won’t be coming back here for anything so take whatever stabs you want at me.

Well, the only problem is that I don’t have 10 times the amount of money it costs to buy a console so that I can get a good enough PC to run this.

Your forgetting that to upgrade most descent computers to FAR SURPASS the graphical capabilities of any console only costs around 200-300 bucks. Most people have computers that have everything needed for gaming except a video card.

at least us ‘console fags’ appriciate EA DICE and aren’t gonna steal millions of their hard earned dollars by pirating their games…that’s why y’all have so much money left over to buy a 1000 dollar machine once a month…wah wah wah..go hang yourselves with ur mouse cords ya fuckin nerds..does ur PC double as a female robot or somethin? I can’t wait for the day when the only games y’all get are Civilization and The Sims

The only reason some games sell on the consoles is because theres more children under 16 buying them.
9 million players and about 75% of them are children hm……..
