GameSpot and Battlefield 3 are teaming up to bring you The Controller, a reality Web series unlike any you've seen before. Starting Friday, October 21, on our official YouTube channel, the show will bring together 12 professional gamers and total noobs to compete in various challenges, both in the game and on the field. Under the watchful eye of our host, professional skier and Olympic gold medalist Jonny Moseley, the contestants will battle it out in daily challenges designed on scenarios from the game." Still sounds interesting, but I don't think "teaching" is going to be the main point of the series. Too bad; I've never played the previous Battlefields before. | ||

Its just that the shit hardware in them cant support the epic size of BF3. Its about time the devs started the trend, we were stuck in the same spot for the last 5 years or so. I bought my high end pc in 2007 and still can play every new game on high settings witch while its nice not to have spend any money i actually prefer the industry go forward than sitting in the same place for so long ... TLDR; fuck consoles | ||

Its been the PC version thats been getting shafted by most developers lately and its nice to see dice take advantage of the PC's superior hardware rather then barely improve the graphics. | ||

Johan Andersson (the presenter) said “that was a bit poor choice of words, but the PC LOW & consoles obviously does not have every single quality feature PC HIGH has.” and also saying “it wasn’t fully fair as the console version can’t be fully compared against the PC settings as it uses different techniques.” For example, “the shadows in the shadows in the final code are way better than PC LOW, same with animated vegetation and such.” Full article: http://mp1st.com/2011/10/17/battlefield-3-dice-clarifies-pc-and-console-graphical-comparisons/ Just attempting to stop the flow of misinformation that runs rampant throughout many forums. | ||

Those days are like 20+ years in the future though due to I can only imagine how much it would cost to own all that xd. | ||

It sucks down to the most fundamental things (24 players?! Ha!). The PC version shows a lot more promise imo. Since I can't stand playing shooters on PC, it looks like I'm stuck with MW3. It's a shame really. You PC players are going to have a glorious fall/winter. Can I ask why you don't like shooters on PC? I mean its clearly superior in all aspects for the FPS genre. I can understand people saying they don't want to spend money on a gaming PC (Well actually I can't seeing as the price of an xbox, HDD, HD Screen + xbox live membership for 6 years will be the same as high end gaming PC), but I have never seen anyone saying that they prefer shooters on the xbox? Just curious. | ||

I just can't fathom how you could ever enjoy this on a console. And 32 players max is the smallest problem... | ||

Playing with a controller just feels so much better, the way both your hands can grip onto an object, and the way the left and right hand mirror each other in terms of movement, to an extent. But yeah, the PC version shows so much more promise, I will definitely be getting this for PC and not a console. | ||

Just curious. You've never heard of someone preferring call of duty on a console? Really? I sit at a desk at work and when I get home, I don't want to be in front of a computer. It's so much more convenient to be able to kick back on your couch in front of your HDTV and relax. Granted, the graphics won't be as good as PC on your TV... but who cares? Not me. | ||

I guess it's all about what you are used to, but as someone who has played FPS extensively on both, I must say that playing with a keyboard/mouse feels so much more intuitive to me. | ||
