EA pretty much admit BF3 is coming

Bc2 for the pc is apparently not a port but a proper pc game that uses assets from the console versions, textures models art etc. According to Dice Bc2 had a pc dev team. So realistically what makes people think BF3 will be so much better?

yea pc dev team doesnt mean much if the engine has to obey console limitations.

by all rights a proper pc version of BF3 would have atleast a max of 64 players (even 1942 had that?) and large maps but instead i bet its another knife fight in a letter box because console users want instant action

Yeah but it's still exactly the same game as the console ones which limits the map size and things.

Maybe so, but the way BC2 plays i doubt theres much that would have made it that much better if it was pc only. You're talking larger maps, more players more detailed models, larger texture res etc. But the way this game plays with all the gimmicky unlocks, bigger maps and more players would probably make it more of a headache for vehicles.

BF3 will probably get a ton of hype but giong by BC2, dice really need to get the thumb out if its to live upto the hype..

Show me where i said that toaster? ohh wait i didn't. I said GIMMICKY unlocks, selective reading is a great thing....

Last i checked in BC2 right now vehicles may as well not exist with the ease that the tracer dart\rpg combo is taking them out. Helicopters are currently being swatted out of the air left and right. The only vehicles really being used much right now are the faster quads and hummers just to get to cap points.

On maps like Atacama tanks are being destroyed from utterly stupid ranges because Dice in their infinite wisdom turned the speed of the tracer dart up far too much. Ive been in quite a few servers lately were people just aren't bothering with vehicles as theyre nothing more than mobile coffins right now. Ive been in a few where people persisted with vehicles but all they got out of it was a quick trip to the respawn queue time after time.

DICE must think.... "Why create a PC version when all we get is stick" I know they have totally destroyed our expectations of them and am gobsmacked they put out BC2 in the state it was in....

But realistically they get no come back from console owners lol!

considering the way profits of PC exclusives are going.

I cant see them making a dedicated PC only Battlefield 3.

No chance of them ever making a dedicated PC version only.... they've sold more copies of BC2 than BF2 already because of cross console!

This my friends is the first step towards PC FPS death and making the way for Monthly sub MMO's to dominate PC gaming
 
If they do make a proper bf game out of bf3 then i don't think the xbox could manage 64 players, just imagine that over the current live setup.
 
BF3 would make me work 2x just so I could buy a kick arse pc to run it.

Just imagine Zatar wetlands on 64-128 player with an updated engine. Would be sheer awesomeness. :D
 
Best online fps ever invented (well almost anyway). I registered in 2005 and we still play it now on urban maps only as all them planes are pants for most of us and you are left stranded at flags miles from anywhere.

Bring it on BF3
