Nice write up in the latest Game Informer for Battlefield3, getting away from the 4 some for this game.

One thing I just read is they are building this for the PC and then will model it down for consoles. Not sure how the planes are supposed to work, the article talks about a demo and a 4 man team working through a small Iraqi town.

I had a lot of fun playing Battlefield 2 on the PC with some friends. Not sure how I feel about this one since my PC is not going to be able to run it and I am not a big fan of console Battlefield.

And that is a rare, rare thing these days making for PC first and then scaling back for consoles! Looking forward to it now

This game might be one of those I could get back into PC gaming for. I'd need to do some serious work on my computer to make that happen. Still, I love battlefield, especially with friends.

Everything I've read on the Bad Company 2 forums is nothing buta solid wall of screaming grief from console players pissed off that the PC version will have far more features AND is being primarily designed for that platform, with downscaled versions for the consoles.

Hell, what do they expect? They're running tech from 2005.

This game is enough to make me buy a new computer.

Dice ticked off the console players on purpose, by making the statement that "they don't complain enough "
This was in reference to why consoles won't get 64 players.

So I say let dice get swamped with whatever they get, because they deserve it after saying something like that.

I will be getting this on PC for sure, but in all honesty I don't know how well the game will do.
PC doesn't have a very big market to start with and the amount of people that will have a PC cabable of running this BF is very slim.

That said, I pointed out on the EA UK forums , that in the Dice GI write up, Dice said that they rewrote the Frostbite 2 engine and put Streaming tech into it, so that they could bring us ps4 and and xbox 720 technology today.

I personally think that they could be using some form of Hybrid Cloud tech ?

Lots of games are already using this, even on console.
MAG is a good example and thats why MAG can have 256 player on a map at one time. Zipper has even said that they could go well above 256 players with no Lag issues.
