Whats the point of making battlefield 3 then? Im wondering if it will actually still be pc focused. I actually found the pc version of bad company 2 somewhat different on pc, except the small maps. We will see.
It was quite obvious it was going to be multiplatform, Bf2 probably cost more than bc2 to produce and was a better game, but it did not make the same profits as BC2 simply because it wasn't multiplatform. Even if DICE was willing to give up those profits and take the extra time to make a game with mod support, map making and tons of maps, vehicles and weapons etc; EA sure has hell wouldn't.
As long as the PC is the lead platform i don't care. BC2 was pretty good but the maps were a bit small, I hope they return to the huge maps and large player counts of the earlier battlefield games.
Couldn't care less, did you guys seriously expect it to be a PC only release?

It will probably be another game with extremely narrow fov and small maps. Everything seem toget consolized these days. Thank god I still have Paradox's strategy games to play. =)
It's time to RAGE ABOUT A GAME I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!

We know everything we need to know (except if it has modding tools), it's on Frostbite (console engine) and it's multiplatform, gameplay can't be different from BC 2 and BC 2 is no "Battlefield", BC 2 is just a console spin-off.

It also has no dedicated servers and only 8 players. Also they'll sell BC2 maps as DLC, 15 dollars for three maps.
ARE YOU READY TO UNLEASH THE ****** FURY OF CAPS LOCK????
In all honesty I don't blame them for going multi-platform...I mean they don't make games just for fun, and consoles is where the REAL money is at these days especially since PC's are piracy ready out of the box.
I guess providing the game supports mods then we can create epic maps like Wake Island and such. Also dont forget DICE are very good developers and they do treat us PC gamers better than most other developers.

Dice, what the hell happened to you? BFBC 2 was fun at first, but got boring rather quickly, MoH is kind of well crappy, and now making BF3 multiplatform. We may know nothing about this game, but there is no denying it will be held back by consoles. One more supported developer gets marked off my list. It was fun while it lasted DICE.
NOOOOO! Ugh damn it. I don't want to accept this news.

Me too man, me too. Usually I could careless, but it is different this time. I mean BC2 made a killing on PC, why not give us a treat and give us a real freaking BF game.

It was designed for consoles exclusively, it has certain gameplay features implemented into it, there are no lame excuses for lack of prone and the general way of moving, interacting, etc, it was simply designed like that because it would benefit consoles more if it would get less commands. It's fun but it's clearly a console port and no Baranga, they'll release a beta that lacks content, releasing the full content in so called free map packs, when there really are no maps, like they're somehow doing us a favor, fixing the game at the same time, releasing 5-6$ or w/e skin packs and a map pack for 30$ if not more with 4 maps new weapons and a few vehicles (they'll never go under 30$ with Vietnam). Console port examples (that were designed for consoles first) Far Cry 2 Borderlands MW 2 (compare it to MW, the way it feels/works) etc PC games are solid, console games that get ported to PC feel awkward, floaty and stiff.
And there goes any high expectations I had for BF3. Don't get me wrong, I like BF2:BC, but it doesn't really play like BF or BF2. I want huge open maps with tons of players, not small maps that funnel everyone into chokepoints. It may turn out to be a fun game, but I have a feeling it won't really feel like a true BF game. The lack of RAM on consoles all but ensures DICE will have to make concessions that will hurt the PC experience. Not to mention the concessions that will once again have to be made for the people using controllers instead of KB/M.
Do you remember in BF2 how you could have different size maps to play on (16, 32, 64 player max)? Perhaps the console version will only get the smaller size maps and PC will have the choice of the larger ones (though hopefully 128 & 256 are the bigger ones). And maybe there will be two different control sets for controller and one for KB/M, oh wait, NVM, I am dreaming again.

Why the hell have you only made 68 posts on this forum...we need more optimistic PC gamers like you on this forum.

I don't usually do this, but this really irks me. Think about what this phrase means please.
Also, sad news on BF3. I was really hoping it would follow in the footsteps of BF2, my favourite and most played FPS.
It isn't surprising that it is multi-platform. Most games are these days because developers/publishers want to make as much money as they can. Most of the games that are console exclusives are made by their respective console developer. Most games that are PC exclusive are strategy games because the control scheme doesn't do well on consoles. It isn't a big deal. BF2 was multi-platform, however, the consoles had the Modern Combat version that wasn't much like the PC version. The beta for BF3 isn't even close to being out so who knows what it will be like.

Its a well known phrase and people use it all of the time. I understand what I am actually saying, is it a big deal. Are you my Enlgish teacher, I think not.

I will cling to that hope as well...at least until EA/DICE make an official announcement :P

Ok, but understand that when you say this you appear unintelligent. Sorry I even brought it up.
RIP Battlefield series, it was fun while it lasted.
yemen_headshot
indeed, BC 2 was good but it wasn't a real BF, again RIP Battlefield we loved :( Agreed 100%. I love BC2, the pc version is great mp fun, some of the most fun I've had mp since TF2. But I wanted a true BF sequel.
Ridiculous. What made BF2 such a great game was that it was PC exclusive, they tailored it especially for the PC. Going multi-plat must mean DICE is hurting for money or EA has given them an ultimatum. Such a disappointing announcement...

Another Battlefield watered down and tailored for consoles? Cmon DICE. Where is our sequel to BF2? That game was so awesome, it had such an epic feeling to it, and it actually felt like a war, what with 64 people all in one match.
