70+ million PS3s, 70+ million Xbox 360s. Less people play on the PC. Not hard to understand.

People take convenience and lower cost over playing the best version of games. Most people don't care that much, they just want to play video games.

And let´s not even forget that BF4 is only available through Origin and that service has like what,20 or 30M users tops,less than half of steam.

Well it's not like anyone was able to take you seriously before this thread so whatever.

What you mean like everybody else here? all jump at things you don't like hearing, isn't that what this pathetic forum is about? really.

Not really, the point of the forum is to laugh at the trolls, not to become one. Being on a non-serious forum doesn't mean we can't call you out for being a dumbass, nor is it an excuse to be a dumbass.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not playing it a whole lot because it's so similar to BF3, and I played that a whole lot. Also because the thing crashes on me like once every 20 minutes. It's kind of tiresome.

Speaking of, unlocking everything all over again is such a god damn bummer. Helis harassing you? No SAM for you. I want to slap the guy who thought an unlock system was a good match for Battlefield. In BF2 it was just alternate weapons. Now it's equipment and gear which cripples you if you don't have access to it. It's so stupid. And then they start selling shortcut packs, because they're so very considerate, offering cheats to people like me who don't have time or are tired of shitty game design which inherently unbalances games and makes Battlefield less battlefieldy.

Is there an easy way to boost yet?

I saw my friend play it over the weekend on his PS3 and it crashed like 5 times...

Posting again, lol.

Whoa, either the definition of troll has changed to "I don't like what i read" or your a bunch of butthurt fools straight off the window licking bus.

you ignore half of the issue with the thread, in favour of a "slight" victory (You care so much about the maximum number, yet fail to take into account the the other 2 version's population is FAR more consistent throughout the day. so that top end number means jack S*it.) also failing to take into account that I have checked several times and whenever this PC burst of population happened I was not there. none of you knew better but one lucky guy who happened to have a screenshot of the opposite.

Oh look, kicked off siege of shanghai again. what a classy version.

Keep up the circle jerk.

More consistent throughout the day on consoles my a**

38k on PS3 and barely over 16k on 360 yet Pc again has more players

The score on Amazon is about the same for all versions. Metacritic user score is highest for pc version.

Some consolites try way to hard to make a non existent point. and unlike what s0ldier69 says its actually 3 stars on amazon for pc the same as console versions ( not that the user score on amazon is any indication )

At least 75% of the people playing it on PC didn't pay for it.

PS3 numbers are down because people are waiting on PS4.

Yes, sure they do. Check the torrent sites with their comments... all PC bums checking to see if the illegal ISO can be played online or not.

We also gotta take into consideration that PC gamers have nothing else to play. Their next game will be BF5 in 2015.

Again playing online on official servers ( those that are counted ) requires a legit copy .

Sure sure i mean is not as if pc this year alone got games like path of exile ,civ V BNW, total war 2, Arma 3, europa universallis, shadow warrior ( though i guess those games dont count because they invalidate your idiotic trolling ) are ever released on pc. Meanwhile you have x1 and Ps4 with the huge catalog of exclusive titles that includes killzone,Ryse and and and and . Oh yeah thats it

@MBirdy88: Well I happen to love the game and play it daily. I could care less if more people are playing it on 360/PS3 although apparently this isn't even true. Sorry you don't like this incredible game that wows me every time I play it

Depends on the time of day really. Most of the time PC is the highest and has a much higher peek than both consoles and sometimes the numbers arent that far apart.

I would also liked to point out that the so called master race, prefers cod-liek operation lockout as it is by far the most popular server/map/mode "OPERATION LOCKERS 1000 TICKET FAST EXPS!11111" mayaswell play cod.

The "master race" minority on the forums is hardly an accurate representation of the overall PC community. But, it's nice to see those goal posts being moved.

time to accept reality, shooters is a dying genre on PC.

That's not really true, but it wouldn't bother me much. FPS is hands down the worst genre of video game being made right now.
