I won't be buying another dumbed down console port. I am sorry but if you cannot optimize something for the PC and cut back the good stuff so that the console boys see exactly what and how their consoles are holding them back? Forget it. I won't buying your crap. I should not have the "same experience" as a console gamer. I do not play the game on a console. Why should I have the same experience?
It's not a console port... They already said they are building it on the pc first and that the pc is the main focus... Where does anyone say it's gonna be ported from the console?!?! Thats something I hate about forums, anyone can post anything they want, and without any proof, it spreads like wildfire, and everyone gets upset about it without any proof to back it up.
BATTLEFIELD 3 IS NOT GONNA BE A CONSOLE PORT!! They are designing the game first on the pc, it's gonna be the most advanced engine ever created for a game, and then they are porting it "From the pc, to the console", not the other way around.

According to executive producer Patrick Bach, "we're focusing on PC first, and then we fiddle with it to fit it onto consoles."

More information continues to trickle out from DICE on Battlefield 3. This time it goes beyond saying that the PC version of Battlefield 3 is the primary development platform for the title and the console versions will come from the PC version. This is a much different strategy than DICE has used in the past where the PC version was simply an enhanced port of the console version of the title.

We spoke to Battlefield 3 Executive Producer Patrick Bach, a man who firmly believes consoles are holding PC gaming back. Like PC gaming enthusiast, he is also dismayed by the fact that many game developers merely add anti-aliasing options to the PC version of games before calling it a day. Eager to buck this trend, Bach talks about how DICE will create one of the most visually-breathtaking games you've ever seen by using the PC as Battlefield 3's lead development platform.
Yes, absolutely. That's the biggest problem we have today. Most games are actually still based on the same core idea that the consoles are your focus, the superior platform or something. I don’t know why. That was the truth 5 years ago, but the world has moved on. PCs are way more powerful than the consoles today and there are actually almost zero games out there that actually use the benefits of this. So for our target of what we want to hit, we are now using the more powerful platform to try and prove what we see gaming being in the future rather than using the lowest common denominator, instead of developing it for the consoles and then just adding higher resolution textures and anti-aliasing for the PC version. We're do it the other way around, we start with the highest-end technology that we can come up with and then scale it back to the consoles.
Hopefully this puts everyone's fears to rest. Dice and EA are finally supporting PC community, so I really wish people would stop complaining.. Every PC gamer should go out and buy this game, support it, and don't illegally download it. We need to start supporting developers who focus on our platform, so that they will focus more on pc development, and stop porting from the consoles.
If Battlefield 3 is anything like Battlefield 2 in gameplay, then IMO this game is gonna be the best game ever. Even if graphics aren't "Perfect". But, like i've said before, there are plenty of HD video's of the game, and they look awsome, so anyone who hasn't seen them, should go check them out, because this is one of the best looking games ever.
