Shouldn't be that much different, unless you're real picky.

Indeed, BF3 looks pretty sweet. I'll definitely be picking it up this Fall.

I doubt it. They're already cutting down the MP maps for console. I can see them cutting down the graphics too, no way 360 or PS3 could handle that.

No, the lighting effects will work, according to EA. Another thing. It's not being "ported". it;s being developed simultaneously for all three platforms. Here's a quote from BF3Nation.com "First and foremost, Dice has completely built their new Frostbite 2 engine from the ground up. While I was impressed by what Dice accomplished with the original Frostbite, it did have it's limitations. Frostbite 2 has been built to take full advantage of the extra muscle you can only find on a gaming PC. DX9 will not be supported by the new Frostbite Engine as it has been built primarily around DX11?s architecture, sorry XP users but it's way past time you upgraded to 7 anyway. Frostbite 2 is also optimized to take full advantage of a 64bit OS and sports features such as multi-core optimization, multi-threading support, compute shader support, and tesselation. While Dice seems to have taken great care in building Frostbite 2 with a PC platform in mind, the engine is still multi-platform. FB2 for the consoles will be tailored to each consoles specific strengths according to DICE rendering architect Johann Andersson… "Frostbite 2 is developed simultaneously for the strengths of each platform" That's good news for PC gamers that were worried about their experience being somewhat lessened by a multi-platform engine for BF3! Instead of building a single engine that can run on all platforms, Dice has pretty much created multiple versions of FB2, with the console versions of FB2 obviously being scaled back to accommodate the limits of what said console can do. I leave you with a quote from former DICE CEO Fredrik Lilegren… "What the PC version is going to be, Battlefield 3, I think it's going to absolutely blow everyone away, but I can't tell you what it is, but it will blow people away." Lock & load gentleman! (Source: Kotaku) Editorial Note: So what does this mean? In all honesty, nothing. DICE will say whatever they need to say to calm the storm that has developed over the PC community. I would not put much trust into this recent statement till we some game specifications on all systems. Until then, all we can do is wait."

AGREE 100 PERCENT! That is why I am not fighting the people that doubt a console can handle this. Once the game comes out they will see and I will sit here and enjoy the game :)

I'll buy it, I'll play it, I bet I'll love it.... but I know it's a game that's being developed primarily for the PC, and we're going to get shafted in that respect. I might buy a new PC for this game specifically; BF2 (the OG one, not Bad Company) literally changed my gaming life back in the day, haha.
