Is that available on the 360?

Just checked and it's not available for 360, sure I read somewhere this was PC only...

ha tough titty console noobs, serves youse right for holding back games development with your shitty 7 year old hardware.
I mean the xbox has 512mb of ram, if it was a horse it'd have been shot.
Your analogy has no meaning given the profitability of the console and consoles generally!
It is PC only. The antiquated piece of kit known as the Xbox 360 simply can't handle it, although I think the PS3 could. I am sure there's a 64 player game for the PS3 but I forget what it is called.

So, cutting edge hardware will always provide the best games, is that what you're saying?
No. That is not what he is saying.

what, fucking what?
no but it does provide a bigger canvas.
also I'm well aware that consoles are more profitable and that it is precisely the profit motive holding back advances in gaming technology, not just against pc hardware or a new generation of consoles but the PS3 has flopped as a system precisely because it's more advanced hardware is totally under used by developers who won't get the best out of it cause of the economic compulsion towards identical multiplatform releases. It's also the reason we keep getting fucking generic sequels and games that hold your hand throughout and are terrified of actually killing you.
it is precisely economics that has led to the current situation of a 7 year old console with 512mb of ram being the lowest common denominator.
I say all this as someone with an xbox 360.

MAGS, it wasn't very good.
But yeah the multi processor set up of the PS3 certainly has the potential to do 64 players on BF3.

But that's the same for films, music, TV etc etc. Fuck's sake even politics. Everybody's trying to do the safe, middle of the road thing. I'm not sure you can blame that on a console. Gaming has become majorly popular and you can sit there and wish it was like the old days but it just isn't going to happen. When things become popular they get diluted.
And the point remains that if the Xbox, or the PS3 or generic mainstream console (from SNES onwards) then you would still be in the days of people programming in their bedrooms. (Whether that's for better or worse I don't know.) They spend absolutely millions developing this stuff. That just wouldn't happen if they were going to sell 500,000 units.
I agree with you about games that hold your hand, hence why I've been talking to myself about Dark Souls.
Had a quality few games tonight with Revol and a few mates. People seem to have stopped exploring and experimenting with the maps and actually started to play BF3 the way it is supposed to be played. People are also starting to realise it's not about points or K/D.
Loving it.
Loving it.

Yup, the future of gaming: ten guys who don't wash and know more about building a PC than building relationships with people...

That's encouraging. Makes it much more enjoyable.

PC v Consoles? I had hoped we were better than the EAUK forums.

EAUK has poisoned my mind. Every time I see the words PC and console together in a thread it automatically sets off a rage trigger in my poor little brain

Yup, can see everything fairly well on mine.
24 hours left people! Will be on sometime today/ evening.

I thought the future of gaming was creating games where you do little more than grunt at the screen and be rewarded by flashing colours while some 10 year old american kid screams n**gers and fags down the voice comms.
No doubt imitating The KLF at their meetings.
