A member of the DICE team explained in a heated forum post why the PC is getting more features than the consoles. Link here.

So PC gamers will get better resolutions, yes, but we also get "prone". It may not seem like a big deal, but as the post says, on a console, with the environments as large as BC:2 has, prone players quickly became camping monsters. They were harder to see on console hardware. But the PC gamers will keep their "prone" and we have the technological hardware to see them when they do.

More than anything else, though, is the fact that the guy said PC gamers will get more because we deserve more. That we've been shafted so much in recent years, and because DICE didn't release Bad Company on the PC. 

How awesome is that?!

I've known about the proning stuff for a while now, and the better graphics is a given with any multiplatform game, but I do love the kind words from DICE :3

I WISHED THEY INCLUDED PRONE ON XBOX BUT IF IT ELIMINATES CAMPING THAN SO BE IT.(sorry for caps just realised lol. cant be bovwerd to re-type haha lazy)

AND ITS LIV-ER-POOL
LIVERPOOL FC
ITS BY FAR THE GREATEST FOOTBALL TEAM THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN

Yea, no prone is pissing me off in console Battlefields. :/

Lol, yeah. When the BF:BC demo came out, I borrowed my friend's PS3 for the weekend. It took me an hour to realize that there was no prone button.

I'm still gonna get it for the consoles. May as well have both the original and sequel on the same platform right?

 

ill be getting the pc version of this game

just ignore me i talk to myself :)

It's good to see the PC gettin some love. It sucks when any platform gets the shaft. Maybe this game will give me the incentive to upgrade my PC.

Here are my specs:
3 Gb ram
Pentium duel core @ 2.20 ghz
vista 64 bit
and a very crappy graphics card

Would a new graphics card in my PC  have this game running well on it? if so any suggestions on a good cheap one? If not what else would I need to upgrade?

CPU and GPU.

We have no idea what it will take to run BFBC on PC yet though.

I'm still going to get it on consoles. My rig is not optimized for gaming anymore.

It's always nice to hear supporting words from a dev. But frankly, I don't think they're including anything they haven't already planned before on the PC version. They're probably just jumping at the chance to steal some disgruntled IW fans. It's not like they're gonna do something special for the PC after this. So let's not read into their comments too much.

BC2 will be identical on 360 , ps3, and pc with one tiny difference.

24 players for consoles

32 players for pc.

no prone for anyone.

every multiplat looks better on pc, that is a fact, because you can run higher res, force massive amounts of aa, and mod draw distances amongst other things, better frame rate is also a given, force v-sync so there's never any screen tear etc etc,it is impossible for them to be identical

Yea , but identical content wise, until mods are developed of course.

I think 99% of games multiplats are the same content wise, no one's willing to put the effort in the add proper support for pc versions, and exclusive console content just pissed the other camp off, multiplats: a blessing and a curse

True. And that is why I sincerely hope BF3 will be PC exclusive. I wanna see how much environmental destruction and realism they can cramp into the game using DX11 features, and we really don't need outdated consoles holding us back on that.

I don't think you need to worry about BF3, even if it is multiplat the PC will still be the lead platform. 

When BF2 released the consoles got a cut down version of it a while later...It didn't affect BF2 at all.  I think we can trust DICE not to screw us over.

How about having prone as a server option?  One both platforms.

BTW, I do agree that PC's deserve more control and options available to them.  Consoles could have the same, but one of the selling points for a console is that you wont have to worry about technical problems, nor will you have to tweak the game settings and optimize frame rates, it's all been "done for you."

Good, we've been shafted by IW already. A refreshing change for once.
