They have said all along PC is the lead platform for BF3. When nothing so far has shown that.

And the balance of a map between console and PC varies because of the player limit 24v32 respectively.

So assigning the same changes all across the board is clearly wrong.

But weapon balance, ranking progression, weapon damage, recoil etc won't be different between platforms.

Also the op metro map will most likely be the same size for rush on all platforms, so again any changes in MCOM position, spawn areas etc would most probably be reflected on all platforms.

So now the AMD 5000 series cards have become low level cards?:(

Only 1.5 years ago, they were the top end AMD cards, well 5800 series anyway !!:(

Sorry, that's why I put "mid-5000 series" as I know the 5870's destroy the 6870s... I was thinking more along 5770 etc.

Obviously there are hundreds of variations... I was just working from the 6 series cards they suggested in the specs... review benchmarks will show you comparible cards
 
DICE explaination for Beta!!

zh1nt0, Dice:

Stepping a bit further into development and closer to launch, this is a very good way for us to try out all the bits and pieces we have added in and changed since the Alpha.

The Alpha was very important from a server side of view. Now we´re in Beta. Not only does the server side need to be tested but also the complete game client.
What this means is that we pick one map:

Metro: We have already showed this map and made some big changes to it to enhance gameplay as well as get it more fluent than in the Alpha.

Lots of new things have been added in closer to launch. Our rank progression system as well as customizations have made their way into the beta and it´s very important for us to test these things before we launch.

That is the purpose of the Beta as well as combining it with Battlelog and all of the features there.

If you feel that this isn´t the right map for you, then perhaps we don´t really agree on what maps we want to see. Other than that, I do hope people will have a great time playing it and will enjoy the Beta

Would have been better to test it on a map like Caspian Border, considering that's the map that will most likely be played.
