Yep..that's what I am referring to here.

Please dice implement a theater mode so many cool stuff happens i want to watch back.
My issue with graphics/destruction vs. player count is if these maps are designed for 64 players, it's going to be like fighting in a ghost town with only 24 players. If that were the case then why bother porting to consoles to begin with?
In this respect, I'd rather them keep the destruction and graphics the same as BF:BC2 and just up the player count to at least 40. This game can become the perfect example how gameplay should be a higher priority than graphics.

In BF2 each map had different playable area sizes depending on the number of players. The same could be applied here.
Actually, that would be the perfect example of consoles dumbing down PC games.
I didn't realize BF2 did this, that's great as it would eliminate my concern about the maps being too big, but I'd still prefer a higher player count.
I was thinking my idea only applying to the console versions. I see no reason to hold back on the PC where more resources are available.
Is there a reason they can't just take the optimizations and advancements for Frostbite 2.0 to keep the same level of fidelity and destruction on consoles while upping the player count?
Of course I'm merely speaking from a console gamer's perspective who thinks BF:BC2 was good enough with damage/graphics and much rather them make the compromises to come as close to the PC version in terms of features and gameplay as possible.

Sounds sweet. Scans are in the wild too. Low quality pics but even then it looks great.
Am I jumping to conclusions or acting premature in thinking that the 360 version is going to be the most inferior of the 3?
I've read a couple PPT presentations (bending the rendering pipeline and destruction masking in FB2) and there is little info on 360 specific optimizations in either presentation. However, you get the idea that Dice has made great strides towards advancing their tech on the PS3 (and impressively so). On top of that I just read a twitter Q&A on Planet Battlefield quoting that it's a bit too early to tell if the ps3 and 360 version will turn out the same.
I know I should probably read more on the engine/game before painting this kind of picture, but it's a thought that has crossed my mind the last few days catching up with FB2 and BF3. This year looks to be the year I finally build my gaming rig, so I may end up getting BF3 on the PC anyways, but my concern stems from the fact that all of my friends game on the 360 so I'd also end up getting that version to play with them.
Could this just be the case where the technical decisions do not favor the 360, 360 type optimizations aren't worth mentioning since they are better known than what they are doing on the ps3, or something else?
Edit:
I've also seen the scans and I WANT NOW.

based on nearly every other MP game released to date, yea probably jumping to conclusions

Lighting sure looks great ! But I was kindof dissappinted that its the same brown middle-east kindof look ! I was thinking of a new look now that so many BF games have come out. But I guess its a sequel to BF2, so....!
Lighting looks nice in the scans, can't judge anything else from them.
