I saw WASD showed on the gameplay video, so yes I'm going to get it.

The Battlefield 3 demo would not contain any epic, awesome multiplayer. It would demonstrate other goals of the series' development team at DICE. It would maybe convey the feel of battle, the potential pain of a shot fired, the impacts of soldiers at war. It would demonstrate DICE's zeal to present "next gen tech" on a "current gen platform," though technically we'd only be seeing the game on PC, its lead platform, not yet on Xbox 360 nor PlayStation 3

If you are impressed by Battlefield 3’s screenshots and videos, then take note that they are all taken from the PC version and the console versions will have lower graphics quality.


DICE executive producer Patrick Bach has revealed that the console versions of Battlefield 3 will lack the "higher resolution, the higher framerate, the anti-aliasing, the motion blur, stuff like that" that were shown in the trailers released so far.

Of course, the PC exclusive graphical effects will be available only to the tiny fraction of PC gamers who have high end DirectX 11 capable rigs.
