If we are to do a proper PC version we need the completed game and then time to make a PC version from that, so how is that hosing PC players? I guess we're damned if we do and damned if we don't with you guys, but be careful because that attitude can make people very jaded if it hasn't already!

#1. You have too ask ? You BFreakin know its PC.
#2. Completed Game <+ PC Version <+ Proper PC Version = + or - Hosing PC Players.
#3 You are only damned because you DID make the Best Game Series Ever,,, and damned because you DONT remember who , and I QUOTE,

"you guys" are, and then with what i take as an added THREAT,
"but be careful because that attititude can make people very jaded if it hasnt already!"

That one is with an ! mark, as too say CAUTION-DANGER-BEWARE.

The same attitude that weve gotten from the day all the MONEY went into the banks/pockets, and,

the "we/you guys were forgotten"

ON a lighter side of things thanks for at least making a STATEMENT with some GRIT

I hope I am not the only one confused by what you just said.

????
What? Is that supposed to be some sort of rant or a compliment?

It's good to hear that the PC version will get some added extra attention, and not end up like that crap FC2 game. Delayed or not, If the devs need the extra time, then I am all for it.

@ ?

its called some kind of sembalence between Kuth, Etiquette, P.C., humor , and genuine concern for what i allow myself too swallow. ( spelling aside)

I am exstatic about ALL of the info, and the next games, even if they may not be everything everyone wants, or too everyones acclaim.

I will buy them regardless.

But i SURELY DONT respect a comment like the one that i replied too,

and neither should the BF community.

You all do see why they release the PC version later don't you? Its because they want to make as much money as they can on the consoles because there not as easy to pirate with torrents like the PC version. They lose more money with that stuff than anything else. I mean I'm not here saying its right or wrong but just saying that to me seems like the reason. Look at just about every game that came out on all 3 platforms. First it came to consoles then the PC later. Now it doesn't always happen that way but for the most part it usually does. Just think about that.

Thanks DICE/EA for two BF titles this year (3 if you count that stupid BF:heroes game).

I don't know, seems like the PC community thinks dice has turned there back on them..... the way I see it is that the PC community is turning there backs on Dice. Without a doubt they have turned out the best online FPS series ever, they may have struck out on BFBC to some extent, but thats only in comparison to the rest of the series. I think everyone is forgetting that this is only a appetizer to the next big release. Either way I am really pumped for this release. As for the PC release man if you can't pick up that they are adding major things you should be beat like the red headed step child I keep in my basement. Like I've said before those of you who think you built dice and they owe you big time, well maybe it had somthing to do with them turning wicked game after wicked game, do you guys honestly think that we believe you were doing them a favor by playing there BF series, grab a F'ing brain

Fair one. Very few people have pirated the BF series as its a multiplayer game and you need a legit game to be on the ranked servers.

Yeah there are some n00bs who run cracked servers but they are usually full of hacking twats who no one wants to socialize with anyway.

DiCE we need more details on what you are doing to the PC version. No news is not good news. Take a look at Valves strategy with teasers and information leading up to releases.

DiCE you are abandoning PC gamers, and I don't know why. You will earn more money on the PC base than you will on both consoles put tpgether. Please explain why you are doing this I dare you?

Quote on BF2 Sales:

In late June Digital Illusions’ game Battlefield 2 was launched in stores around the world. More than one million copies of the product were shipped to retailers until 30th of June 2005. The games in the Battlefield series, including Battlefield 2, have now sold approximately 6 million copies.

So go on explain why you prioritise the consoles? You can't can you?

The obvious reason is shorter development cycle, they can put out 2 bad companies within a years time give or take a few months. This is great because they don't need to think, and the console fanbase expect nothing from the developers. Basically if it looks pretty, console gamers are generally happy.

Many developers hate making PC games because PC gamers can actually think, and realize the games they are playing are junk. Halo for instance.


I bought a 360 about a year ago to see what all the fuss was about, i sold it 2 months later, it was THAT BAD.

Thats incorrect, we wanted to have conquest-we got it, we wanted to patch the achivments, trophies and wilcards-we got it.

Oh and, we demand less because we don't care so much about a game. IT'S A GAME, it's not your life, unless you are mentally ill.

Couldn't agree more (unless you are a professional gamer but I don't think anyone here is). It is strange how sometimes I even get so embroiled about something as meaningless in the long run as a game.

IMOHO , i think that any CONSOLE GAMER should, browse the EA Forum Index and find that thread that is related too all of there OUT OF THE BOX issues, and post there.

Are you a PC or an ..........

lmao why is every1 bashing platform gamers, just cuz they get the game first? i think platform games are much easier since they need to make their game not able to be hacked, glitched, and cheated on pc. its easier to do these thing on pc version then on xbox or ps3. so be happy when the game comes out there wont be people with a million points already on the leaderboard.

hopefully they are delaing the game for it not to be released in the summer will result in less lag and glitches.

Gordon has a point. If the developers put extra work into the PC version and all they get is more bitching and moaning ... not exactly the best motivator. Next time they might not bother. First they hear complaining it's just going to be a port, so in response to that, they spend an extra 3 months to polish the PC version. What do they get? More complaining! I wouldn't be happy if I was working hard on this game ...

As TukingTurk said, this is the appetizer for the next big release. The response they receive from PC gamers is key. If it's not positive, we may not see a full on WW2 Battefield game. So let's thank the devs for taking the extra time we PC gamers asked them to and enjoy the game when it comes out!
