User blog comment:Bovell/DICE: Battlefield 3 a "real sequel to Battlefield 2," consoles "can't handle" more players/@comment-1786471-20110329194137

To start: I'm assuming that the maps on the PC will be even bigger than BC2's were. Considering that this is a Battlefield game, consoles are probably going to be seeing maps about the size of BC2, which is great, in my opinion. I like how DICE is showing the power of the PC in the face of the consoles. I myself play on Xbox, and as long as the maps are the size of BC2 or bigger, I'm satisfied.

For prone, I hope they do something to stop dropshots (it's an annoying move, IMO). When the player stood up at the end of Fault Line 2, he suffered an accuracy penalty and wasn't able to fire until standing. So I think the player should be unable to fire while going to prone (how would this all work?).

I'm a sniper, and I'm proud to be able to go prone and snipe. I think the sniper should have the stealth advantage until he fires.

Call of Duty is very, very big... but they're not innovating.
