Sorry if this is a common post.

I cant decide what system to get it on! [PRE ORDER]

I played Bad Company 1 on PS3 because multiplayer was for free, the game was mobs of fun.

It seems Battlefield is a native PC game but I dont know if this version is made primarily for consoles or PC.

Also 360 version looks better than PS3 apparently but you pay for live, even though soon enough you will for PS3 too when they introduce it.

Im leaning on PC, but im very wary after the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 I bought.

Your help is GREATLY appreciated.

The PC version is obviously going to have an edge over the console versions.

I am in the same situation as yourself in a way I am unsure which system to get it for. The only problem is I am not getting it for my laptop simply because I use that for the internet and football manager sims lol

PC.

DICE started on the PC. They know how to make a great PC game. You won't get the same kind of treatment from DICE that you got from Infinity Ward. It will be a much better experience.

want better graphic? PC

if you dont care about graphic then pick the controls that you felt most comfortable. So pick either DS3, 360, or KBM.

Get the PC version its better in many ways.Five big reasons:

1.KB/M

2.32 playerdedicated servers (consoles have 24 player dedicated)

3. Better graphics and DX11 if you're equiped(I know I am :P )

4. Mods

5. The best BF games are always on PC.

DICE in fact rewards the PC community with a better version. And PC has always been home ot their best games. Like BF1942, BF2, and BF2142 (that one was okay...compared to BF2 that is).

If you enjoy gaming on PC and can run it, get it on PC. Better graphics, mods, more players, etc.

Honestly, if there is any way for you to buy a Battlefield game on the PC, there is absolutely no reason why you should pick any other path.

Except for 1943 of course, which was a nice little game only available on consoles.

agreed, being a BF vet myself since 1942, DICE has been one of the most supportive devs i have ever seen. The patching got a little ridiculous in BF2 however :P

I will be preordering the Limited edition Bad Company on pc then, its the same price as the original on games online pre order!

I hate the PS3 Beta, the AA is bad and you can hardly see enemies in the distance. Bit laggy too.

Those were some of my best years of gaming right there. I'd get BC2 for my PC but i never got around to upgrading since i specifically built my current rig just for BF2. haha my PC remains frozen in time. Good ol' Athlon FX55 8)

Im also stuck. I know my computer can max out Bad Company 2 and I know the PC version will have better chat and teamwork, but its so damn fun on a console. Plus I can play it downstairs, upstairs, next door. Im just going to wait to see the reviews and what people say.

I'd go for either the PC or X360 version due to the size of their online community, leaning towards the PC.

If you have a good PC, BC2 on PC is the way to go. Be warned though, the PC minimum requirements are hefty, and the recommended specs are quite high (higher than Crysis) compared to consoles' out of the box functionality. Prepare to upgrade thx to DICE's hefty physics-based FROST Engine.

DX11 support, 32 player matches and M/KB all indicate that the PC version is the one to get. Battlefield games attract a strong and dedicated community on the PC and I expect this one to be no different.

neither for me....I enjoyed BF2MC but bad company was not very enjoyable it just seemed to be looser and with less quality, since cod 4 and mw2...i just cant go back to bad company and its loose unrefined gameplay. 1943 is the same i play it and wish i was playing MW2 *trying to get 100 matches for the achievements and all 200 points*

It's a hard choice. I'd go where your friends are playing it. My PC will run it great, but all friends will play it on PS3. I'm stuck too! And i'm not buying it twice lol. Maybe you should wait, and try the beta on PC as well as PS3, that's what i'm doing.

The PC version is a no brainer.
