As much as I would like to see that happen it won't. My feeling says it will be a shoddy console port with a little bit of extra's like server browser to justify Dice's saying that they will put more effort into the PC version.

The only real Battlefield is a PC exclusive Battlefield. Console can't handle gigantic maps with 64 players. Yes I already hear MAG upcoming but that game is to basic compared to Battlefield 2 and doesn't give anywhere near as much as options and dynamic battles.

To bad Hardcore Battlefield fans don't care about those **** console centric games, most of them even never heard of them. They just want an epic BF experience just like BF2 and 2142. But that's to much asked in todays market with crap ports, linear crap games an console limitations.

DICE will not go PC exclusive anymore, they actually want to make money instead of getting pirated

There are people who solely played Battlefield for years and know the ins and outs of the game and are expecting the same experience from the next game. They simply don't care about how much games they will get but the only thing they want is a worthy replacer for Battlefield 2. It's typical console gamers match up games against eachother while it doesn''t have any revelance.

You seem to be the normal casual gamer who jumps from game to game to get the 'quick fix' while in Battlefield 2 you had to actually put effort, make clans, make up tactics to win. All those shooters in your list give instant gratification to the playes ( except for maybe BF3) and deliver fast paced action for short lapses of time where almost no skill is involved.

BF veterans are simpely not waiting for a shallow experience.

1. You did not show the MAG player count, so a comparision can not be made

2. At the gametracker.com website, once you get to page 14, most of the servers have no players except for a few that have 5-10 players

3. At the game-monitor website, once you get to page 5 most of the servers only have around 13-18 people in it, once you get to page 12 they only have servers with 0 to 1 people in them.

Why don't you get BF2 and see it for yourself? It costs only 10$ with all the expansion. And you can download awesome free mods for it like AIX ( new airplanes like Blackbird) or Promod.

not interested if its like BF2. want moar BFBC

MAG is actually as close to Battlefield 2 as you can get on a console right now. 256 players playing with 0 lag even on my shoddy connection. Sure you cannot fly planes and helicopters, and theres a few less vehicles, but thwere are no less strategic ways of playing the game, and teamplay is key as in Battlefield 2 and 2142.

Now we can see just what Dice is doing for the PC version of the game.lawlessx

yup, Im hoping they just push console versions aside until they have the pc version sorted :D

Has it been confirmed to be multi-plat? I'm hoping it's a PC exclusive so it isn't some watered down rehash.

64+ player matches

large maps

large veriety of land, sea, and air vehicles

large selection of weapons and clas es

many varied maps

and then Im sorted :D

Indeed. Bad Company 2 is great, but I want the scale of BF2 back. I'm going to be dissapointed if the game is hamstrung by consoles.

Consoles only get the 24 player map size, PC gets the 64.

I used to be a big fan of the BF series, but unless BF3 does something utterly crazy, im probably going to choose Red Orchestra 2 over it.

You're right, and that makes a lot of sense. I'm assuming that is the most likely route.

I Plan On Getting All These Games however the game I'll be hook on is BATTLEFIELD 3!!!!! And Here is My Reason..

2011 Battle of the 3

-Killzone 3 - Generic Shooter with Flashy Things.....Don't Care

-Modern Warfare 3 - Same Game Repackaged again.....Don't Care (Actually I am not buying this one)

-Battlefield 3 - GOING TO BE AMAZING!!!!!!!! DAY ONE BUY!!!! on PC of course =) Full Game over Water Downed

-Uncharted 3 - UC2 was a good game, concept of multi-player was nice but THE AUTO AIM IS STUPID!!!!!! Seriously, it was a noob friendly game THERE WAS NO NEED TO AIM AT ALL!! Game Breaker, if UC3 is the same thing. No Buy!

-Gears of War 3 - My Favorite Console Game Ever!! =) Still thinking about this tho, I am Not Paying For A Feature That Should Be Free, i.e Online!

-Resistance 3- Graphics and Story of First Two was Boring and Lame...Will See
