Is Battlefield 3 even woth getting on PS3?

It looks to me that the PS3 version of BF3 is really far away from the PC version. And I am not talking just about the graphics, I dont really care about them. I was thinking of getting it but only 24 people on the bigger conquest maps compared to 64 on PC... They probably just feel empty with nothing going on around you and no action for the most of the game. I heard that the best person in one game only gets like 10 kills. And big maps with action all around you were always the best part of Battlefield so it just doesnt look like the real Battlefield experience.

Did anyone play it on PS3 (or 360) and thinks differently?

I play it on ps3 because of my big groups of friends play it on ps3, and I don't have a good pc to run this monster. Dice did a great job IMO on console.

If you have the opportunity to get in on PC,do so but you want a console experience then get it on PS3 cause of the exclusive bonus

No, I was really disappointed in it.

Well, as much as I love it on PS3, it's so much better on PC in terms of graphics and gameplay. Like others have mentioned before, many maps are scaled down on consoles.

online gets boring trust me

Most maps I get 20 something kills. The only one where 10kills is normal is operation firestorm, map is terrible

Well, that's a matter of perspective I think, really.

On-Topic - I think that too much is made over the 24 player cap for consoles. As with any group, the more capacity you have for people, the greater the percentage-chance that a number of them are ****s. As long as things like vehicle availability and basic hot-spots are available in a given console map, then there's no reason to cry foul or avoid it - And if you don't have a PC that's beast enough to run it reeeeaaally well, then console might be your only alternative... And to that end, I wouldn't avoid the game simply on the grounds of "smaller" maps or "less" activity per match.

Now that people have begun to make studies of hot-spots and activity on a given map, I'm amazed at the lack of used space even in a CoD game (sorry to brig up the other franchise in this thread). There are great open patches of land that go predominantly un-used on any given game map. So in a sense, the player cap is giving the go-ahead for trimming of the fat. Not that a sniper couldn't do with a few extra hundred yards, or a pilot use every last bit of airspace... But you see what I'm sayin'?

If this kind of thing (Cap'n'Hold gameplay) is your thing, then it's hard to argue with so many people having a good time on the game, and the support it will no-doubt recieve over the next few years.

I would say if you like this, buy this.

And I ain't even a player.

:lol:

But, y'know, Party On.

I bought it yesterday for 30 bucks from best buy but didn't open it and then I decided to return it afer some thought. I played the beta and I understand that is not the final game but I just wasn't crazy about the mp in BF3. I mean it was fun for a while but it got kinda old. Dying from some dude who is camping on the other side of the map with and sniper and then you have to have to run back to that some spot only to die again from out of nowhere is annoying.

Battlefield has vehicles, and you can spawn on squad... so why are you "running"? And back to the same spot to-boot? Seriously. If the sniper just killed you, and you don't know wehre he was shooting from, does it makes sense to run right back into his scope of view again? :lol:

I do agree some of the maps are terrible though. Not nearly as good as Bad Company 2 maps (or certainly older Battlefield games), but not as bad as some of DICE's Medal of Honor maps either...still the game is definitely worth getting if you are like me and can't play it on your PC.

I'm a Battlefield vet, played all the games of the series online on pc and I do enjoy Battlefield 3 on the ps3. I have also played the beta on the pc and while that ofcourse is a superior experience the PS3 versions is a lot of fun aswell and certainly worth getting. Even though there are fewer people in a match it never feels empty or boring.

I have it on PS3 and PC, when friends come over, its easy on PS3, PC for 64 multiplayer is just awesome.
