Adding more wood to the fire.
It's no secret that PC games with a decent graphics card will mop the floor of home consoles when it comes to graphics. However most developers try to keep the gap as close to the console version as possible or not try to advertise their game on PC. Alot of games on PC have great features yet they are rarely advertised on TV or anywhere else.
Since it's announcement EA has made it clear that Battlefield 3 is a PC game first and a console game second. So far all the footage shown on Battlefield 3 had been on PC and there was a gameplay trailer going around for the PS3 but nothing for the 360. EA has not hidden the fact that the console version is far less superior than the PC version running at 720P and this has not sitten well with gamers.
Now to add more salt to the wound, EA has announced that the 360 version of Battlefield 3 will come with 2 discs. One disc will house the Single Player campaign while the other will house the Multiplayer and Co-op features. Xbox 360 owners should be strangers to the disc swapping feature though in fact there have been several games that have done it. The one game that comes to mind is Halo ODST which came with a separate Multiplayer disc.
Those are the limits of the Xbox 360 and there's no way around it. However PS3 owners will only have to deal with one disc while PC owners will have to deal with no discs if they download it via EA's Origin service.
