Battlefield 3 console multiplayer maps will be more compact

4.5

The bad news (or good, depending on your point of view) for console gamers is that the scaling down of Battlefield 3 on PS3 and Xbox 360 includes smaller multiplayer maps to better fit the restricted 24 player head-count compared to PC's 64 player space.

The skies remain unrestricted, however, as players in planes are free to fly around full maps without the out of bounds zones.

Also detailed was the CQC melee system which, rather than being based on one fatal move like most FPS games, incorporates quick-fire button prompts allowing players to choose between right and left punches, counter punches and throws.

If you want to see a bit of Battlefield 3 gameplay in action, head over to the footage released earlier this month and take some time to look over the stunning grabs we snatched for your perusal.

The xbox cant handle 60fps on bf3, think about it, you know how much ram large scale maps, insane graphics engine and up to 24 people in 1 lobby would take? alot. The only reason COD games run 60 fps is because they are not as advanced as bf3.

The 360 has 512MB of ram and the ps3 has 256MB of ram so if ur saying the 360 cant run it cause of ram the ps3 wont run it either the ps3 runs most CoD games terribly especially black ops and no im not a 360 fan boy i own both systems and love them both

PS3 runs cod games 10x better than xbox...

The only notable difference between the xbox and the PS3 is the fact the PS3 has a cell processor and not a PowerPC structure.

Considering all multi-platform games are exactly the same on both consoles, no console runs games better.

Don't lie Ps3 owners always complained how CoD was running

Hmm, so BC2 was also more advanced than COD? cuz that ran at 30fps also..

He means by the large scale maps, constant destruction, mass amount of players and a sht load of vehicles.

its difficult to tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps, and with battlefield you can hardly tell it becuase it looks so good

RyderG that kind of sucks that their getting smaller, thats one of the main reasons i like BC2 so much. so much long range sniping.

The maps are still going to be BIGGER THAN BC2 MAPS. Pc is just bigger due to the hardware they have
