We started with battlefield 1942, Vietnam and of course, the fantastic BF2. These were quality games that were developed specifically for the personal computer. I guess that somewhere along the way that EA decided that Hardcore PC gaming just wasn't as profitable as console and casual gaming. We haven't had a PC exclusive battlefield game for 4 years! That really chaps my bum because i miss playing battlefield games. So whats my deal? Why do i gotta hate on consoles? It ain't like that my dog, consoles just simply cannot deliver the type of experience that makes a game fun to me. Consoles lack sufficient control mechanisms for the genre, the mouse is just more effective than the analog stick. Consoles also lack the processing power and expandability necessary to create the scale and game mechanic complexity i enjoy. When games are developed for multiple platforms, the PC version will always suffer.
Bo-who right? WRONG! There is a huge market of Hardcore PC gamers that's just waiting for decent games to play. Battlefield 2 was just a taste of what could be. For years the PC community has been fiending a worthy successor to bf2. So now we get word that battlefield 3 is going to be a multi-platformer. Yer breakin my balls EA, i guarantee that you are going to get a lot of complaints similar to my own. So here's my proposal EA. Keep churning out console games, because they definitely are profitable. But also make the games we crave and miss profitable again as well. The answer is simple, make us pay for it, we already shell out the big bucks to have these souped up machines, we might as well throw down a little more to enjoy them. Please start making PC exclusive pay to play battlefield games, we WILL pay for them. You provide the game with subscription options, and support it; we will provide the servers and players to make the game profitable!
