Most console games you play already are running anywhere from 25-60, mostly commonly around the 35-45 mark, the reason you don't notice it is because it stays consistent, if it where to vary then yes you'd notice it. If BF3 can sustain 30 constant then theres nothing to worry about. IIRC isn't RAGE only going to run at 30fps? or is the game game due out after it?

From everything DICE/EA have said/shown the destruction in BF3 will be greatly increased, for this to be done and maintained then some compromise will have to be made to keep the packet sizes within the size restrictions of sony/microsoft.

I suspect a few people here wont like battlefield 3 if it turns out to be more battlefield 3 than COD, for those of us who dont like COD we'll relish in the good ole days of big maps and vehicles out of the wazoo.

In reply to a post by FireFalcon:

It's going to maintain 60fps on all platforms. Carmack insisted on it.

Must be the one afterwards then, i remember carmack saying something how something will run 60 others will run 30

Yeah i will hold my hands up and say i have not been blown away regarding Battlefield games but i am hoping i will like this one based on that single player footage.

I understand that a constant 30fps is not a problem and i am not worried about that but others are apparently.

Im still well and truly on the fence with regards both games , i refuse to except disappointment , so if i don't expect to much , i cant be disappointed .

Truth is , I mainly play COD , its a quick fix i enjoy and i like the small maps as its easy to pick up pinch points and rake up the kills .

On the other hand , i have also enjoyed what Dice have brought to the table with there games and im really looking forward to how there new game engine runs .

As i do enjoy the squad based tactics , just not how the game felt , BF with COD movement appeals to me and would see my time spent playing the game , much more evenly split between the two titles .
Which in my eyes " would enrich my gaming time " as having two titles i enjoy the same , is better than one .

My mate knows someone that works in a game shop who has played BF3
He reckons on the PC you can shot a single leaf off a tree, on 2360 or PS you can only shoot off a clump of leaves.
He says it's amazing

Hope it is Swanny as i want both B3 and MW3 to be massive and live up to the high expectations.

Since i watched a ropey multi player alpha code of the game it had me a little worried but nobody who loves FPS will want either game to fail.

Tut tut NDA breach

Two of my mates have Beta codes for ps3
I don't
I don't suppose anyone here would have a code that I can use pretty please??

He's wrong. It's amazing graphics (ie things destroyable etc) but gameplay, pfft, they may as well named it MW2.1.

Don't know what's wrong with developers today, most of the ones with money thrown at them wouldn't know their ass from their elbow when it comes to the FPS genre.

I think it'll tank on the PC.

Which means it'll be a massive hit on the console.
