No worries. I think I've talked myself into getting the PS3 version anyways.

1) I don't have to buy a $200+ GPU. (biggest reason as I don't plan on any other PC game)
2) I've been playing BFBC2 on my Ps3 for a week now and have gotten far better with dual analog controls. (still inferior to kb/ms)
3) The graphics will be ok, the solo game will be the same, and smaller/tighter maps of 24 are not the end of the world.

Additionally, I don't have to fuck with DRM, Origin/Steam, and other crap. It also appears that the PS3 version is the lead console version, so it should be pretty decent.


1) The money spent on GPU will make my PC future proof for newer games coming out and the graphics that will come with it.

2) PS3/360 version of BFBC2 is an arcade version in comparison to the PC version.  Just play both you will understand, I have all versions with Vietnam packs for PC/PS3.

3) See 1)

 

1) I'm not planning on buying any other PC games. Too cumbersome and most games I play don't have a difference as they are built on Consoles first.

2) BFBC2 itself is an arcade verson of BF games. BF3 on the otherhand is more true to the game.

3) Reread my #3.

I know the PC version is definitely superior, what I'm saying is I'd rather not spend over $200 for a GPU for one game. I don't need it for anything else. I'd rather save the money to buy other games ... ZeldaSS, Batman, Assassin's Creed4, Uncharted3, etc...

This is the actually reason I purchased BFBC2. It was  test to see if playing it on my PS3 would be justifiable. So far, if I had a headset... I can live with it. I'm getting more comfortable with dual analog FPS (though my k/d ratio is still bad for now) and with a headset I can get past the lack of messaging.

I've played BF since 1942.. its my all time favorite FPS.. I know what I'm losing from the PC side. However, $250 or so is a lot of money. Its all the other games I plan on getting this year. In the end, the game is still a lot of fun.
