    The game sure does become cute doesn't it? I think it works so well because the loco roco music is a march and 1943 has army men in it.

    @Givafuk:
    Because, shown *countless* times, PC has the highest rate of piracy.
    So while we do exist, devs get the money from consoles, then port, yada yada yada.

    Honestly, I'm curious to see what games are going to be first on PC anymore.

    "Increase" to 32-player games? If it's not 64 or more, it's not really Battlefield.

    Like others, I was waiting for the PC version, but I guess I'll just get the cutesy little 360 version after all.

    @SacGamer: They could expand parts of the existing map to accommodate it - like they did with BF2.

    I agree with the original post,for the PC audience that played the original, there is a demand for a remake that does the original one justice. Without having 64 players, that isn't going to be possible.

    I don't understand it. They've built an Xbox 360 version of the game already. It's all done using DirectX, they developed it on PCs to begin with, and while there are definitely tweaks to be made (they might need a new audio system, controls need to be redone, etc.), almost all of the heavily lifting has already been done. Unless they're trying to write a new renderer, or improve the visuals, or otherwise add something totally new, a PC port should be relatively inconsequential.

    My guess is that it's just a low priority for them and they aren't bothering to devote much in the way of time and money to it.

    Better be more than 3 maps when this is released on the PC. I think what PC gamers really want though is Battlefield 3.

    [uk.pc.ign.com]

    EA's chief operating officer John Pleasants made some rather surprise announcements at the William Blair Growth Stock Conference taking place in Chicago this week. One of which was the confirmation of Battlefield 3.

    "I've had the luxury of looking at Battlefield 3 over at DICE in Sweden and was highly impressed by the way the team is working on that product," Pleasants said. "Of course, that's not [coming out] in the fiscal year, but that is a product that is looking very good."

    I see a lot of whining on here. Apparently you would rather have a shoddy port rather than something that takes advantage of the PC platform. You've all pointed out that DICE are/were PC focused and from their comments in the article this still holds true. They are trying to deliver PC gamers a PC optimised version of Battlefield Lite but clearly it still is not enough.

    This isn't the next big PC battlefield release, for sure, no one is pretending it is and it certainly isn't priced as such. BF3 is the next "proper" BF release on PC so in the mean time why not enjoy this fun little interlude.

    Could we all stop the wailing, the gnashing of teeth and the "woe is me for we are foresooked" and try and have a little decorum?

    @ThursdayNext:

    The fact alone that they developed the engine specifically for console, and not for PC, says a lot about how much things have changed.

    It's not that we want a rushed port, it's just that it should have been built on the PC to start with. It shouldn't be a 'port.'

    @ReconToaster.: As a mainly PC gamer (who owns all the consoles), I have to ask who are you, or I to say what they SHOULD do.

    I understand WANTING them to do something and being upset when they do not.. but this is life.

    @Sabbatai:

    It SHOULD have been built for PC in the first place because the PC community is what MADE dice. You'd think there'd be a little loyalty.

    @ReconToaster.: Loyalty to what? A platform? Maybe they are loyal to the "gamer" and maybe they had reasons for launching on consoles that they believe benefit the average gamer.

    I am not saying it is "right" or "wrong" but I doubt the idea of platform "loyalty" and the decision to "screw the pc gamers who supported us all these years!!!" were ever mentioned during any meetings.

    Kinda sucks for us. But I couldnt wait so I bought it for console. It's fun....but for a PC shooter I think it would seem kinda plain. I hope thats not the case though if it comes out on the PC.

    Yes. I understand. Completely. I mean, we all know how hard the PC is to code for. Nearly impossible. It's just too complex.

    I don't blame you, DICE. I'm sure you're doing your best.

    Yeah. Right.
