Battlefield 3 console multiplayer limited by hardware and networks +Setting

I have never understood why people plays the 64 player matches. From what I've played, in every game that have allowed such a number of gamers, it sucks - it's not funny playing 32 vs 32, it's nothing, but a pure mindless frag-fest. 16 vs 16 is way better. With that said I'm stilling getting this game for PC. :)danish-death

look, if PC gamers would stop complaining about their game being downsized because of the mean ol consoles, then i wouldnt have reason to bring it up.

Battlefield 3 PC is good for gaming. PC gamers not willing to see our beloved series go down without a fight is good for gaming. Our attitude towards this has helped the likes of BF3 and Homefront, hell even Black Ops become significantly better games on PC than they would have otherwise.

I know it's a bit unusual, but I'm going to back to the point I made originally about why us PC gamers complain (of which Xboximusprime took issue with). Quoted in the latest Game Informer was this when asked about why 64 player on PC was exclusive:

"'The PC audience has been the one complaining"' Bach says "We haven't actually heard any complaints from the console audience" (in regards to previous 24 player counts with their games).

Now, I don't actually believe this as such, and believe if they could, then they would be making BF3 64 players on all platforms, but one thing is for certain. Us PC gamers complained and campaigned long and hard to make sure that BF3 was going to be a PC game first and foremost, and we have been rewarded for our efforts.

What I would like is for console gamers to start doing the same, so that come next generation, basic MP features that were standard for years before xbox Live came along will become standard again. Dedicated servers and server browsers as a bare minimum standard for everyone benifitseveryone.

sir! :evil:That is absolutely 100 percent correct :P, but It did end up being that now didnt it? This ended being about PC Gamer elitism adn that they are being treated less because the console version is trying to be just as good as their version, like it usualy is with these threads.

What you don't seem to understand is the level of frustration PC gamers have because of the current trend in the consolization of many long favored franchises. Imagine you have a favorite TV show or Movie series that's watered down to appeal to all ages. Imagine if Transformers 3 was a G rated movie? Can you imagine how many pissed off fanboys there would be? PC gamers tend to have a higher standards because it's what we are use to. Yes you can call it whining but it's really a demand for a better product. Another way to look at it would be to imagine the Wii as the lowest common demoninator and every game for PS3 and Xbox360 being made with motion controls in mind. Then imagine your favorite titles requiring some form of dance gameplay to be included with it? Then all of sudden it's not "whining" anymore.

Very well said^ and its fact.

But in the end, all they can do is just criticize PC gamers and call us "elitists" because we show facts.
