Electronic Arts

opinions dont matter unless you are unbiased,

i own a ps3, xbox360, wii and a pc, so i am not ignorant because i play mostly on my consoles than my pc.


first of all, lack of unique gaming on the pc lately, bf2 is the only recent game(not including valve games those are always best on pc no matter what) i play on pc.


anyways, my point is, you are just as ignorant as the gamers your calling ignorant.

what people play on is their choice, though, statistically, those on consoles are slightly more retarded. in the sense that their knowledge is blinded by the fact they get a console and then the amount of console gung ho from that consoles community overwhelms them in one way or another.

pc's are better, theres just no fighting it, well you could but your wasting time, and energy. its just fact, but which is more fun FOR YOU, is better FOR YOU, but all in all, pc is just, better. the only problem is all the people who pirate. but console pirating is on the rise too.

pcs dont have to be upgraded every year.

i have a quad core processor.
512 mb video card
4 gigs of ram
the motherboard and other things made it cost just over 800 bucks.

i wont need to upgrade my computer for maybe 10 years, i will upgrade it sooner once windows 7 releases for direct x 11. BUT, i dont NEED to, i choose too. my last computer lasted me from 97-08. 11 years. i spent 200 bucks in 04 for a new video card, because i wanted to, i didnt have to, but i wanted to. then, 4 years later spent some money for a complete overhaul, and now i will have another decade long pc, that will play all the games my old pc could play no problem. i dont pay a subscription fee past my internet for anything, i can talk with all my friends while i game for free, i have like, 5 times as many buttons i can use at any time. and i have a limitless resource of free downloadable content from the community, or the creators. and chances are when something comes up needed to be paid for, one of the big pc companies like nvidea or ati will pitch in to make it cheaper if not free.


pc.s are better. plain and simple.

but consoles are easier to access, and to be completely honest, i play my 360 the most. because more of my friends play on it, and some games are more fun on it, only when i want to get more serious about gaming will i get on my pc, or when i want to play an obviously superior versio of a multiplatform game(tf2,l4d are examples)


just because we play on consoles doesnt make us ignorant.

to each his own.



i think people need to stop bashing consoles. and come together not as a ps3, or as an xbox or pc. but as GAMERS. because thats what we are. whether you are a 6 year old girl playing barbie horse adventures, a 20 year old playing battlefield 1942, or a 60 year old playing brain age. we are gamers.


and this wont be a port type game, thats why its being delayed, the engine is being optimized for PC play. this is required because it was made for consoles in mind, so a slight change here and there is needed for pc's.

they said they will be making a traditional battlefield experience for the pc version. this may mean dev tools, more players, whatever it is, it will make pc players happy.



and again. you dont need to upgrade on a yearly basis for a pc. even if we did, we have the saved money from subscriptions, and the saved money from cheaper games. im not saying that would make up a huge amount of savings but still,

you are a complete idiot..the only difference is while your busting your butt all day working in the hot sun, some of us have an education, and can check the forums during the day in our airconditioned offices. people like me tell people like you what to do lol...

as far as consolers, well look at the poll right here in thier forums, and youll notice that pc gamers passed the consoles by more than 2-1. because your ignorant, or cant afford a good computer, and have to buy some dressed up nintendo to play on is not our fault. go spend some time reading on how to build one, do so, then give your opinion...yes, my daughter has your childish consoles, but since i can use more than 10 or so lowsy buttons at a time, I prefer to use a computer, which allows me drastically more control...
better get goin,...I hear your dig dug game callin...

just cuz the pc cost more doesnt make it better, at least having a 360 i dont have to pgrade something every year to keep up with date. im not saying which one is better because thats all up to preference.

LOL!
PC not better than a 360?
A 360 is just a low budget PC that runs like crap.
PCs are far superior (Depending on spec) than a 360.
We don't get some jaggy-assed lines all over our games that make it look like we're playing the lego version of everything. We can adjust our settings to suit our needs. And best of all, our PCs don't get recalled because they were popping their own GPU out as soon as you played a game for more than 10 minutes.

there was a time when I loved my 360, but it's NEVER been anything on the PC.
The 360 is just the equivalent of plastic cutlery, It's cheap, it breaks easily and you can't do much with it other than take a stab at the soft bits.

I have a ps3 a xbox 360 and a decent PC (nvidia 9800GTX)
graphic wise the 360 and ps3 arent as good as my pc
but as far as playing games I have more fun on the 360 and thats because of the online service xbox live. if the pc had a similar online service I would play more games on my pc its just kind of a pain to connect to friends on pc closest thing is gayspy arcade and it looks the same and has less features than it did 10 years ago..
on the other hand I believe my ps3 looks and plays better than the 360 but has the worst online experience of all 3 but thats just my two cents..

There is somthing better then Gamespy. That is Steam from Valve, Its the best app I have ever used. And its free you jest have to pay for the games. I hope you look in to it.

I liked what I saw on the xbox - and I'd be very happy with gameplay like that ... and REAL CONTROLS & BETTER GRAPHICS & REAL MULTIPLAYER on my PC. ( no fanboy-ism here. I just don't like any FPS on console PERIOD - I don't care how good it is. FPS is not playable, or entertaining to me on console. )

Now, 1943 aside- what I'm really teed about, is my formerly favorite game BF2 - DICE dropped a huge load on the PC community and never gave us Bad Company. I'm still sore about that. Seriously - I had to find a new title ( and I really, REALLY don't like COD all that much. I didn't like it so bad, I've stopped playing FPS - that has been the staple of my gaming since Wolf3D ~ yea, I'm oldsk00l. )



I hope bad moves aren't made again.

T_T

You know, the more I hear about 1943, the more scared I am of it.

I think I'm going to wait for a real series to come out. One that is not released for console - I want a dev who works solely on their PC version, not making three versions (PC,360,PS3) that are only semi-good, and console versions with no cheats because 99.9% of people can't hax0r their consoles due to utter lack of skill & brains. ( Just think: COD5. It's disgusting. I rest my case. )

(even 2142. I thought it would be good - I dropped that game so fast it wasn't even funny.)

Man. Loss of a perfectly good series in my books.

Where's a John Romero when ya need em? We need a new Quake 1 - a new FPS to bring a revolution to the genre. There's nothing but stale stuff and bug ridden titles all over the place - no really - I haven't had fun since HL2/BF2 days (Pre the-whiner-and-noob patch that destroyed the grenade launcher, remember that? When the PKM turned into a full-auto 200 round sniper rifle.)

I might be 8 pages too late, but I'm glad they're taking the time to get the PC version right while the console versions suffer.

Thanks!

I think the Real question is why was it not developed for the PC FIRST and ported to the consoles after. If it wosent for PC gamers then COD would have crushed the Battlefield series by now. And hey guess what, Modern Warefare 2 is not comming out on consoles first and PC later. If you want to focus on console gamers that fine, but dont give us this crap about trying to make a great experiance for PC gamers and pretend we are not just an afterthought.

Knowing the lip service they give to the PC it will probably make the console version look like a beta game.......F that.


I am tired of seeing the PC version of games have more features than console versions. I am looking at you TF2!

Please don't drop the ball on the PC version. Look to BF1942 for a reference. The console is just blah. There are too many things lacking from it that BF1942 had. 64 palyers means you have enough to defend the flags. Ability to drive ships, the defguns, 2-seater bombers and torpedo planes, APCs, PT boats, large bombers, classes that don't seem to be crammed together in only 3 combinations, the ability to go prone! I loved 1942 but if the PC version of 1943 is too much like the console and not enough like the original in terms of overall gameplay, I am out of this franchise forever, which makes me sad. Please make hook us up with what we're looking for!

i dont know if you have been asked this but are you going to be applying similar unlock features like in 2142. It would be really nice to know and if you could pm me the answer

If they're gonna remove prone from PC 1943 they may as well give up on PC entirely, I will give up too.

What a bunch of fanboys and crybabies in this thread. All the platforms have thier good and bad and to think you should show some stupid sense of loyalty to just one is not needed. All you are doing is limiting how much of a great choice you can have gaming wise when you do that. I mean in the end its about the games not the platform.

Also if they say they are releasing the PC version later so its the best it can be then be happy for that and just show some patience.

You two are both idiots. It's going to be exactly the same, with maybe a server browser.

"PC not a priority". No kidding! console is easier. cheaper. and games sell for more. why dont you children wake up to the real world. PC is still a priority. Just after PS3 and xbox. lol. No big deal. The PC will be better, as it always is. Let the kiddies dump there millions into an inferior product (console not game itself) and then the EA BF team can put there time, money, effort into a bigger more expansive PC version.

Mmmm hmmm. The PC version is going to be the same as the console version. If anything is different, it might be a server browser.

I have yet to see a PC version of a game (at least the ones I've played) be "exactly" the same as consoles. If this were the case, they would be releasing the PC version now as most PC's would handle a console port of this game (since hardware specs' on consoles are lower than your typical 2 yr old or newer PC).

Fact is, nobody knows yet either way, and to say it's gonna be the same is just as ignorant as someone saying it will be completely different. Until it is released or they decide the PC crowd finally deserves an update on hardware specs, etc, everything is speculation.

My biggest complaint so far is the complete lack of information for the PC version from day1. The console version had regular updates. I mean even BF Heroes had a speculative PC hardware recommendation when they first started the beta (which was from about day 1). The lack of a decisive direction towards the consumer regarding the PC version and its' release has where DICE has failed the most so far IMO.

Being a die-hard '42 player (there is still no game as fun IMO, even now), and figuring BF '43 was being developed by the same company as 42 was, it still amazes me that they would even have the stones to say they were'nt looking at a PC version when they conceived this game. Even if they have a quarter to half the d/l numbers that the console version got, that is profit that DICE and EA might not see if they keep bungling the handling of the PC release. I would think that would make a high up bean-counter at EA pretty pissed off, especially in this competitve market. You are talking wasted profit because of ignorance.

Was it ever officially announced that the PC version is no longer coming in Sept.
And that they have pushed it back to sometime in Q1 2010, meaning probably not until March 30th!!
