Will not be a watered down console port DICE has some very welcome words for PC gamers that are Battlefield franchise fans. The upcoming Battlefield 3 for the PC will not be a watered down console port, but will instead be the best and most robust version of Battlefield 3 that takes advantage of the special and unique nature of the PC platform.

While Battlefield 3 will be released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the PC version will be the one to buy if you want the best version of the title. While the developer didn’t go into specifics, the surprising sales of Battlefield Bad Company 2 on the PC platform, along with the continued support of PC Battlefield players that are still playing the older Battlefield titles, could have had a significant impact on DICE’s decisions surrounding the PC version of Battlefield 3.

Despite the much better than expected sales of Battlefield Bad Company 2 on the PC platform, PC gamers were very vocal about the fact that the game felt much dubbed down and played like a console port of the game. These issues, along with multiple bugs on the PC version of the game, led to the Battlefield community sounding off about the fact that the release of Battlefield 3 on the PC needed to be different. Apparently, DICE heard those pleas.

The recently released Medal of Honor includes access to the Battlefield 3 beta which is expected at some point in 2011, but the studio and the publisher are not saying when this might happen. Still, little is known about Battlefield 3, but it is expected that Electronic Arts will have a coming out party for Battlefield 3 at E3 next year where some of the details will be filled in.

As for the PC release of the Medal of Honor multiplayer which was developed by DICE, it seems that many of the same complaints that players had with the Battlefield Bad Company 2 on the PC have followed this title, as well. Despite a number of bugs in the initial release, DICE seems to have been very diligent in releasing a number of patches to correct the issues. The game seems to be more playable in multiplayer mode now; but again, complaints of it feeling like a console port continue to follow reviews of the title.

PC version of Battlefield 3 to be best

You should read this - one of the designers of the game talks about it:

The gap between consoles and PC's is narrowing apparently. Fuck you Demize.

LMAO!

That dude gets owned in the gaming world; nice to see some more BS heading our way. If they can just fix throwing nades through windows, getting stuck on 2" pebbles and foot high bushes. I cannot wait for a new 64 player maps again.

All I care about is a new 2142. So it look's like 2012-13 :( Thay can call it 2242.....100 years after the first release. The war is still going on for mother earth. The EU and PAC have new toy's for war. Are you ready? THEN WAIT :(

Don't get your hopes up.

Its hard to say dude, I would love to tell you that its not, but I have no idea, hopefully, DICE has realized that they fucked the PC community over hard on BFBC2, and has learned from their mistakes

Current rumor is that are going to be 40 players per team. 40 v 40 battles!
I am salivating already!

I saw this at WalMart. I don't know I want to buy it since don't own the game yet.

I'm not going to waste my time on Medal of Honor. Read too many bad things about that turned me off from the game. I hope they don't follow suit with BFBC2 Vietnam but I won't hold my breath. I hope they fix the issues with all the other games before the release BFBC3. I'll wait and see.

FUCK ALL THAT BS IM GOING BACK TO PLAYING PITFALL AND FROGGER
