Why the fuck would the do that?

wellforget it !! ps3? xbox? is this really confirmed or just bs?

oh my god.

well if I were you, EA/DICE, I would make a little trailer for the BF3 beta, maybe then more people would feel confident about this and buy MOH’s limited edition.

I’m not buying this game anyway, it’s a nice marketing option though.

I think DICE intentionally held back on Bad Company 2 to make a greater impact with BF3. Small maps, small player numbers, lack of jet flying, inability to conduct significant aerial combat, abandonment of squad leaders and commanders, etc

.

I have serious concerns with the development of BF3 due to the very poor release of the BC2. Very few features and lessons seemed to have learned by the DICE development team. It is almost as if they fired all the BF2 developers, hired some new guys, and only let them watch a video of Battlefield 2 (It appears as if they were not allowed to actually play the game). Many bugs initially, poor server browser, poor award system, poor friend list function, poor VoIP function, commo rose removed, etc. Console port to PC can explain some of the sloppy work.

.

Nice features since BF2

- single key strike for spotting and knife kills

- dog tag collecting from BF2142

- more unlocks

- improved video and audio

- destructive environment

- canned voices

- single player mode with story

- short game load

Seriously though, If you are watering down the main Battlefield series to get it to consoles, then f**k you EA. You made Bad Company only for consoles, so why can’t you make BF3 only for PC? Christ, you’re not gonna lose that much money in that, and you’re also fucking loaded anyway? And I’m sure you’ll find some funny little way to rip us off even some more money, like an expansion pack with one new weapon and a one new vehicle? Sounds like EA, right?

Fact of the matter is Battlefield has evolved for the better with the Bad Company series and it just makes me laugh that all these PC elitists who have been sitting in their dungeons cooing to themselves that their precious Battlefield games have been tainted by “console tards”

The only retards I see here are the ones who can’t accept a developers choice to develop and evolve a series of games (which in my opinion are all very good and now accessible to an audience who can’t be arsed upgrading a PC every year or so to play new games) for the better.

The fact that you guys just sit there and complain says alot about you.

Destructible terrain FTW BFBC2 is awesome

Suck my disagreement my good sir’s!

The problem with PC games is that developers have not made a game that goes beyond the limits of the console, in every aspect. Basically, everyone played PC when the first Xbox came out as well as PS2, why? because PC games offered far more than consoles. However, in today’s console world of 1080i/p gaming, the benefits of playing on a large screen 37″+, and the fact that you don’t have to upgrade your Xbox 360 (face it, I remember planning to build my computers open ended so that it could be upgraded at the cheapest cost. And every PC gamer is a liar if they say they never ran out or went online to upgrade your memory, or GPU if it was not supported, maybe even rebuild your system). The fact is, currently, to get the most out of a PC games that’s also on Consoles, you’d have to build a $5,000 rig (I’m talking the best, 3 monitors, quad GPU’s, etc. etc.)- or you are good to go until the next generation console comes out and you still have a decent looking game (360/PC graphics are not that different comparing the AVERAGE rig to a 360 on an HD TV). I used to prefer the Keyboard mouse over the controller, however, both bring different styles of gaming to the forefront. However, to drive my point home, what needs to happen before the PC games are revived is to develop a PC game so advanced that it is worlds ahead of a console, unfortunately this is unlikely to happen, and the reasons is simple. To push the PC gaming industry beyond the consoles, the consumers are going to have to accept to pay 3,000+ dollars for their computer, to really get the advantages of PC to the forefront and demonstrate their power. The problem is that Microsoft takes a massive hit when they produce the console, i have heard that the Xbox costs something like $800 to $1,000 initially to produce per unit, but they sell it to you for $300 dollars knowing that when a game like Halo is produced it will cost them $10 million to produce the game and they will bank $150 million in profit (not actual figures), I believe that Microsoft didn’t even begin pulling a profit with the Xbox franchise until 3 or 4 years after it launched- to give some perspective. And this is the very problem, which is why the Console industry will always be bigger/more powerful/attractive to developers because: 1) the system manufacturer and licensing party (MS/MS Game studios) are tied together where as the PC manufacturers are a loose group of several different companies producing various components (not unified) which are not tied to the licensing and publishing sector very well (obviously a company like Nvidia would have an interest here) 2) Developers know exactly what specifications they need to build their game to 3) when the console is tanked, developers can send feedback to MS or Sony or Nintendo telling them what and where they need to improve on in the next console run- which MS will listen to since they are dependent on the game developers to make money and vice versa. What PC gamers should know is that it’s way cheaper for a company like DICE to make console games because they only need to design a game to work on 1, 2 or 3 systems as opposed to a limitless combination of various system components that you get in a PC. Plus as it stands, console gamers far outnumber the PC gamers, and as a result, keep the costs of games down. If PC games were the norm, you’d be paying a lot more money for your game because of the additional costs of development, as a result Console gamers are subsidizing the cost of your game. This isn’t a knock on PC gamers, or is it a buff on Consoles- what I am really trying to say is that developers are not pushing the envelope enough when it comes PC games- most likely because of costs and that consumer feedback reports that their main age bracket (12-25) probably can’t afford on the aggregate to purchase a $3,000 rig. However, they can always take risks, showing me a game on the PC that I cannot resist, that is far better then what any console could ever produce right now, and I’ll hand out 3,000 cash and build the damn computer and buy and play the game. However, until that happens, Console has the edge when it comes down it because I get the same exact enjoyment from shooting programming on my 37″ HDTV with an Xbox 360 as I did with my liquid cooled rig (nothing better than overclocking). Peace.

cant fuckin wait

I would like to exchange links with your site bf3nation.com
Is this possible?

I am a pc fanatic and use my xbox regularly. I will probably end up getting BF3 for the pc and xbox. I do think It is a pc franchise but who cares. They are just giving the people who dont have half way decent computers the opportunity to play it. be happy they still made it for the pc. The point is that you can hate on xbox all you want but just buy it for the PC and move on. You cant change anything now.

ok well im gonna settle this! first off u console ppl wouldnt have games if there were no pc’s, were do you think the code, animations, and modeling is done? further more its pc hardware that gives way to smaller and cooler running parts so that they can be put into a console. its been said by multiple companies that consoles are for casual gamers but pc gamers are the better market. lastly if console gamers are so great why are u stuck paying membership fees (xbox live/psn) and getting charged $10 more than pc gamers pay? i hope this makes you scratch your head.

oh and one more thing apple users are the elitists, so leave the real gamers alone

CONSOLES ARE FOR KIDS AND GAYS

If you have alook on wikipedia it shall show the you specs of the consoles in comparison they have a graphics chip thats 10 years old to a modern day pc lmfao!

Console kids dont understand anything! and when they dont know somthing they go mad! its actually a disorder it normally happens when they dont have a farther or when there dropped at birth!

Heres a good example if they understood the 2 main companys product line nvidia/ati and the other producers you dont need to upgrade every 6 months for a new graphics set its far to complicated for fartherless football supporting fanboys!

Also take note council console kids as technology moves on the companys follow suit, There is somthing called direct x of which as time moves on it is improved upon you are on dx9 so stop holding up the community {faggot}

1 more for the retards 99% of display adapters have tv out! so if you get of your piss riden sofa and plug it in guess what its on a television! and guess what else you can do if you plug in a gaybox 360 controller ! yes thats right ! plug it in!
NOW YOU GOT YOUR SELF A SUPER GAYBOX WITH ALL THE TECHNOLOGY AND YOUR UPTO DATE WITH THE REAL WORLD AWE THE GRAPHICS FANBOYS MUAHHAHAH

Steve, you saved $1000 dollars? You can buy a decent PC capable of games on medium settings for $600, a nice monitor and other things easily for a total of $1000. Plus it’s a PC so u can do everything else on it, not just play games. Keeping the BF franchise PC only would be very smart and it would keep the companies respect and make all the lovers of BF2 extremely happy. BF2 still has 1000+ servers online after 5+ years, that is dedication to a extremely good game, porting to consoles, the game could die quickly if it is not made right.

I’m an old skool PC gamer. I started gaming online back in 90′s. However, I moved on to consoles about 2 years ago. Why?

Because, of the even playing field. SImple as that. No cheaters, no modders, no graphic lag, no low graphic settings that let you see everyone, the list goes on and on.. Screw PC gaming..the community killed it, not the industry.

at 14…why would you be playing a game in which will most likely be rated M? at 14 you have no opinion on any subject being discussed. You don’t buy the game, mommy buys the game.

As far as the PC vs Consoles go… and all those gamers hating on PC users…with the “fat and virgin” jokes, its ironic that we are playing the same exact game, more than likely for the same amount of time as you pre-pubescent little baby weeners whom can get a xbox or ps3 for christmas and think you accomplished something. You sit on a decrepid coach feeding your little face with Doritos and Mountain Dew the same way we do, you just find it necessary to make your filthy little opinions known because mommy and daddy wont listen to you IRL. Fact of the matter is PCs are way more capable of soo much more than consoles, as I have a ps3 (which btw is > that xbox360) and it still does not even remotely compare to my PC which is almost 5 years old now on any comparable title. Whats funny is, you rage on the pc’s yet your pudgy little asses are sitting on a pc right now reading this with one hand and cock in the other beating off to your 1st titty. Consoles are and forever will be the big mouthed. D-bag ridden way of playing games. A) no admins. B) no perma-servers to get banned from C) inexpensive costs.

The only good thing about console vs PC in shooters is the inability to be hacked as easily, and even that is going to shit now.
