Battlefield 3 on Console Will Run At Half PC Frame Rate
Options
DICE confirms Battlefield 3's performance on consoles.
Over the weekend, DICE confirmed that Battlefield 3 will run at 30 frames per second on consoles, half the framerate of the PC version. The developer claims that this will allow a greater degree of graphical detail whilst enabling the consoles to cope better with vehicles and multiplayer.
Speaking on Twitter in response to fan questions, DICE's Johan Andersson said: "We always do 30 fps on consoles, not possible to fit in vehicles, fx [effects], scale and all players otherwise."
As IGN reported last week, Battlefield 3 was shown running for the first time on console on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. You can see the demonstration below.
Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer, meanwhile, have consistently claimed that Modern Warfare 3 will never dip below 60fps.
How much does framerate matter? Does the promise of double Battlefield 3's framerate give Modern Warfare 3 an advantage over its rival that it didn't have before? Or is it ultimately an irrelevant specification?

this is why its so hard to get those diehard COD fans to come to BF on consoles. The ? runs so smooth and theres no lag in the picture.
Thus the reason im building me a pc. -

That's because of how simple the game is. No vehicles to take into consideration. Non destructible environment. Explosions all around and not even a leaf budges. lol -

Cosignature.
I'll download MW3 and beat it over a weekend like the other CODs, but being impressed by a COD running at 60+FPS is like being impressed with an SNES emulator at 400 FPS. The environments are great looking set pieces. Any game that does something with the environment is getting a downgrade in the FPS column, but some of the best games ran at that speed. -
nice. time for a new video card.
