Will be wasted on consoles. Small maps, limited numbers, old hardware etc etc

Just bought myself a new graphics card for the PC so i'm directx11 ready! Plus the game will be around Ł15-20 cheaper on pc

I dont think I coukd be arsed updating pc's all the time, I prefer plug and play of a console, I can appreciate those who have time and effort makin there machines incredible but iv had my ps3 for a good few years now and its never let me down whereas a pc would of pissed me off at some point, if thats the suffice in a slight differance un graphics then ill take it lol.
How come itll have smaller maps? Have the other battlefields had that problem as iv only been on bad company which I thought had quite big maps, especially on rush.

I'm not 100% sure on the console specifics for both. However, I know microsoft will only allow 24 players max because they like to run lag free "fair play" multiplayer. So obviously they want to make the maps smaller as they are not as populated.

I'm still intrigued to see how it looks on console as everything they have shown so far is ultra dx11 PC footage.

Iv noticed this aswel, I hope they dont let the console gamer down as bad company didnt look great compared to the likes of cod.

I think they are only allowing 24 on ps3 also which is annoying, im sure resistance 2 allowed 60 so its not like its un heard of on console.

well there was MAG as well which was 100 players on ps3 IIRC.

I think its because they don't want to favour ps3 over xbox and rile up the fanboys of each console so they will release near identical copies for each.

Been reading up on someone who has played it on ps3 and they said it is still very pretty visuals wise. He said aside from the jagged edge's of no AA the only major noticeable difference was the particle and smoke effects were very toned down.

I'm sure it will be a great game, just not a scratch on the pc version. Dice have said they are focusing their attentions to the pc version as the last time they did was BF2 which was a couple of years ago.
