I dont see anything saying DICE said this, it says sources. This thread is very misleading. Also isnt max settings; dx11 with the highest textures with max aa and af and at insane rez? If thats the case I beleive the statement.

Maxing a game is cranking it to the highest resolution your monitor supports, cranking the AA, cranking the AF, cranking the features to the limit.

I only expect a handful of systems to beable to really run it well maxed out in DX11. This is a good thing. This means they decided to use newer, more advanced features instead of holding back just becuase they have to fit it on a certian hardware spec.

Look at Crysis 1. It pushed graphics. Not because it played it safe, because if you put it on the max settings, it would eat your rig alive. Only now, in 2011 can you actually run that game with full settings at 60fps, it took 4 years. Maxing it out at 60fps is something to behold, it looks just amazing.

I expect the same from BF3. Drop that old DX9 crap, move to DX11. Drop old hardware support, force people to upgrade to play it on the fullest. You may not get massive day-one sales on the PC or even year-one sales, but in 2-3 years, while the console versions will be on the used shelves with nothing selling, the PC version will be selling strong as people upgrade their computers.

Longevity, the PC has it, the consoles don't. Luckily for DICE they are putting it on the PS3 and 360 so they should get great year one sales.

They will still probably sell more on consoles assuming this is a big hit and the PC requirements are high.

Going up against MW3 is obviously going to hurt it.

I doubt it since BC2 sold more on PC and that was built mainly for consoles.

I always wondered if there was a point to using the machine gun in gears of war, its so weak and useless. When someone is getting shot with it they just pop back into cover, or if they have a shotty just roll into u and one shot u

Both UC2 and GTA4 didnt deserve the praise

i think your underestimating the console guys, i can see this go the distance like how cod4 kinda is

Explain how CoD 4 lasted. Numbers are pathetic for that game. The community will be pretty much dead in a few months, at least on the consoles. There are still full dedicated servers on the PC.

There are still full servers of BF1942, a game that was released in 2002.

Yup and after a while, the console sales decline and the people who do buy it, buy it used; so DICE doesnt get anything anyways. While PC will keep on giving

I'm really iffy on this game. Looks freaking incredible, but despite my having a fairly capable PC (Crysis on High capable at least), I'm a console gamer. My friends play on console and I'm just much better with a controller, as weird as that is. So naturally I should get it on console, but I can't bring myself to purchase an inferior product.

Yes, I know all games that are on console as well as PC are inferior products on the console graphically speaking, but I couldn't give a **** less about graphics, to be honest. I'd rather this game looked like CoD and retained huge destructible maps and 64 players on console than look pretty and be only a fraction of the experience. Things like this are what keep me from buying games altogether. I suppose I could play with a controller on the PC, but I know I'd get owned by the people who actually can game with a mouse, I don't deny its far, far superior when you're used to it.

Regardless of all that, damn :o! Game looks crazy good, happy for PC gamers. Have to say, out of everything, destruction included, I'm most excited to see how jets play out. Hope they live up to the speed they should have.

So your basically asking DICE to downgrade their game, and rob pc gamers of yet another experience. Playing with a mouse and keyboard takes practice, so either buy an inferior product or start practicing with BC2.

The trailer needed more eminem + 50 cent music, so the 13 year olds could relate to it

Im tired of these SP trailers, why does DICE continue to show the SP trailers when everyone know's BF is about the multiplayer. Its really getting sort of annoying now.

The first game I remember playing with a giant boss, was Twinmold in majoras mask, so no shadow of the colossus did not inspire giant boss battles.

This isnt 2009, there is actually competition this year

Also UC2 trailer was big because of GFX,

Swift_Boss_A

ummm... WRONG! graphics was only one part of what made UC2 trailer such a masterpiece.

Well I disagree with you so there, what are you going to do about it :P
