Poll: Battlefield 3- What should I do?

[Supertegwyn]

PC.

PC has: More players (128), jets D), better graphics, large maps and modding.

So, I pre-ordered BF3 for the console, since I normally play on the XBOX 360 and I have an 8 foot by 8 foot projector screen. But lately, I've been interested in the PC version. My computer has a quad core processor, 6GB of momory, 640GB on it's hard drive. The video is NVIDIA 9800GT.

That being said, if I do get BF3 on PC, I will have to wait 2 weeks to play it. But if I get it on console I can play it immediately. What should I do??

Try out the Beta that will come in the end of this month. That way you will see which version runs the best and what you personally like.

Hopefully Dice will include Caspian Border too so people can finally se the difference between a huge 64-player map to a downscaled 24-map.

How come you have to wait 2 weeks to get the PC-version?

Consoles have 32 players actually.

Get your facts straight. 64 player on PC, 24 player player on console. Mod-support isn't confirmed but they haven't denied it either maybe we get lucky and get some months after launch like in Battlefield 2.

So what's with the complete fuckton of news that states that 24 is the maximum amount? Like this article [http://www.strategyinformer.com/news/13638/less-players-on-console-battlefield-3-no-evil-or-stupid-decision]?
""The biggest difference between the PC and console version of Battlefield 3 is that we have 64 players on PC and 24 players maximum on console," said Patrick Bach"

As for the Frostbite 2 engine, it's been stated already that it can handle up to 256 players, but DICE decided that 64 players was the sweetspot. However, if it's been tested with 128 and 256 players, no doubt that modders or hackers will find a way to enable that. On the PC at least.

I'm leaving for two months, but I'm bringing my xbox with me. So I can play it on xbox as soon as it comes out, but I will have to wait till I get back from my trip to play it on PC.

pc has more players and better graphics if your pc can handle it

Didn't DICE say they weren't allowing mods? I'm pretty sure they did.

I'm just wondering why OP will have to wait 2 weeks longer to play on PC...

Shrug. I'm gonna be getting it on 360, because I don't want to have to close the game every time I want to join a new server.

Plus, there won't be hackers on the 360, and with almost every game on the PC comes at least a few thousand douchebags who hack.

Its 64 players.

Both versions have jets.

Modding is a MAAAYYYBE from dice. They said they are looking into it. They want to give us mods, because they know thats a large portion of the community that's interested, but they dont know if it's possible. They said they have a small team whose only function is to work with the engine, thats how complicated it is.

 

[CD-R]

If your computer can run it get the PC version. You get the 64 player battles and keyboard and mouse support.

I would say 360 but I don't know if the Origin EULA thing or whatever it was called has changed to not look through my computer and see how I use my programs. If they changed that, get it for the PC. I am getting it for the 360 for now, and maybe in a year, buying a computer that can run it.

It was actually.

There is no question. Get it on PC.

Battlefield has yet to make a Console appearance without having completely laughable controls and connections. I very honestly doubt they are gonna start now.

Edit: I think it's worth mentioning that I am a purely console player. If you actually have the choice, I don't know why you would even think about getting it for the 360.

 

[Kingme18]

Another question that might help to seal the deal: Everyone gets beta access to the 360 version right? Just the MOH people get in early?

I believe seeing somewhere that consoles will not have Jets. They may have been revised, I believe it was in a game informer.

I just saw this and assumed it was 32. Sorry if I have offended you at any point, jackarse.

Delete.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Oh my god call me a noob but how do you delete posts? I keep trying to delete them but it just screws up! Grrrrr

 

[Joccaren]

Players: 24/32 or 64 (Console/PC)

Exactly: 24(Console) / 32 or 64 (PC). Console gets 24 and pc get up to 64.

No idea, though editing a post is quite easy...

OT: Get it on PC, just upgrade your graphics card. I have the 9800GTX, and really, it is time to get a new one. Served me well for years, but now she's old. PC gets the proper experience (64 players, and if people hack it, up to 256 players [ME WANT]) and better graphics to boot. People site Origin as a downside, but with the fixed EULA, I don't see it as any worse than Steam (Which I hate for its utter uselessness...).

Also, getting it 2 weeks later isn't necessarily a bad thing, you get it after any major bugs that come with the first release are hopefully fixed.

Also, to whoever said something along the lines of PC having lots of hackers, and consoles having none, in the games that I've played, its usually been the other way around. Guess it just depends on which servers you join and how lucky you are.

Oh, I thought it meant 24/32 (Console) / 64 (PC). My bad.

That's what I thought until I really looked at it, haha.
