Fricking can't wait for this game. Oh yeah! I hope they introduce a new engine to the game and hopefully have put in the game. Seriously can't wait for this.

I hate how its not PC exclusive. Not that I hate consoles, but seriously... you know what can go wrong when a game... well, you know.

All you PC players are funny, the world is going consoles. You have to remember they are a business and there is more money to be had if you add consoles to the mix.

if it's true, primal will be super excited to get a pink sv98 to match his pink scarf and boots.

It'd be dumb to only have it on the PC lol. I remember when BC2 hit its 5 million copies sold milestone and it said the PC had around 1.65 mil and Xbox had around 1.85 mil and PS3 had like 1.5 mil.

Point is that the PC gaming platform isn't getting too much bigger. Idk. People can now access XBL through their Droids and what not and all that.

I just hope the leave in the grapple hooks like the expansions packs introduced. Brought a whole new level to sniping with that one.

When BF3 is released and if it is released for consoles, would our squad switch over to it from BFBC2?

Nah I think it would maybe replace the BF2 squads in the BF division?

I hope they keep BF3 true to the BF2 concept D:

There's been so many rumours, so much misinformation and discussion surrounding this game. I just hope it can live up to the hype. The most interesting (and heated) discussion seems to be about the whole prone/no prone debate. Can't wait to see a real preview!

GI and EA themselves have already confirmed earlier last year that BF3 would be for consoles as well as the PC. Every gaming website like gamespot.com and GI have listings for the ps3 and 360. It's not a rumor it's a fact people. Also I agree that the pc as a platform is not getting much bigger

i'll wait til it officially hits beta to believe anything. same reason as wehn moh came out. it turned out to be poop.
