"Battlefield 3 multiplayer maps smaller on console"

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/295104/news/battlefield-3-multiplayer-maps-smaller-on-console/


I know for sure that I'll be getting this game for both PC and 360...


"The bad news (or good, depending on your point of view) for console gamers is that the scaling down of Battlefield 3 on PS3 and Xbox 360 includes smaller multiplayer maps to better fit the restricted 24 player head-count compared to PC's 64 player space."

Announcements like these just make me less and less excited about Battlefield. I seriously don't get why the consoles can't run 64 players.

They can but then they would have to sacrifice alot of graphical effects. It is pissing me off that DICE is shafting the console audience.

If only they had waited till the ps4 and the next gen xbox, PC gamers get to fully enjoy the game tho.
Good for them i guess, bastards.

They should just do that then. Console gamers aren't as concerned with graphics like Pc gamers.

That said, I'm not interested in this game since I already have two modern war shooter games.

I'll buy it used. That is unless, it has an online pass.

Is it an online pass or the thing in BFBC2 where you got extra stuff?

Well I'm sure there will be a Limited Edition, but there will most likely be an online pass no matter what version you get.

Crysis 2 didn't get one so Battlefield 3 might not get one either. I'm not buying EA games new ever again.

why not?

DICE know's where the real gamers are at 8)

lol all joking aside, sucks for consoles.

PC for me. Even though I'll be spending over $1000 to play it on max settings.

Should be obvious. Although originally I was gonna buy Crysis 2 new until I realized that there was hidden DLC on the fucking disk.

Really? great. first Capcom and now EA.

EA has been doing it for ages now.

Last year they did the same thing with Mass Effect 2's "Cerberus Network." Making the "DLC on disc" exclusive to those that bought Mass Effect 2 new.

The network settings that consoles use cant support 64 players. Join the master race. master race even gets free DLC ala call of duty.
24-player max
smaller maps
$10 more

I must say. I feel like a straight G right now knowing that I'm getting the PC version and I can most likely run it maxed out on all settings. .
