True, Cruel. But also what would a SP playing do in a BF game? I mean in any case, it's such a linear experience that you play it 2-3 times the most and it only takes you a couple of hours. It really doesn't come close to the significance of the MP area of this series. I wish they would stop wasting their ressources on it already.
Funny thing is, I think BF3 actually sold more on PC than MW3, not by very much, but still. It's the console numbers that totally destroy BF series compared to CoD. And the overall units sold on consoles are like 10x higher than PC even for BF3. We aren't really a major focus group, I'm afraid. So it's not only SP vs MP, it's also PC vs. Consoles. Best for us would be PC focussed pure MP game which everything the PC has to offer (see BF2 and to some extent 2142) and the worst would be a SP Console focussed shooter (which they had with Bad Company and which was pretty good, it just wasn't BF.). BF3 is amost irrelevant in the multiplayer statistics on XBOX for example, so I'm worried they will try to pull something off to please that crowd more even in the MP area of the game. I'm not usually a PC vs. console guy, but with shooters I am.
I dunno man, I just want them to do everything right like with BF2 but in the current gen engine, whatever the setting. The title for the next big PC multiplayer shooter is still up for grabs, if you ask me.
The city map in the alpha screens look pretty good btw. I'm a sucker for urban combat. Unless they artifically limit it to be a narrow corridor like they did with metro.
I completely missed that E3 is happening. Let's see what will happen there.
