There is coop split screen on PC also. Portal 2, L4D1&2, Dirt 3, etc. And I play it like this:

Xbox, PS3 and PC all on the big ol plasma. And the PC is even dual monitor so I can game and have stuff on the right monitor going too. It is great. Just split screen the game, slap in an xbox controller or two into the PC (or keep the m/kb if its a shooter) and you get 1080P ...

Why would it matter what a person's PC is if they don't game on it? If you don't buy a console and expensive 60 dollar games and DLC and all that crap, and put it ON TOP of the cheap 300-400 dollar PC, you then get a machine that is KILLER.
Even if you did count all PC's owned, he still would need to use SOME facts, not some random % out of no where.
HAHAHA 99%?
The hardware in the consoles is DX9/openGL 2.0 era....
And according to the steam hardware survery:
http://store.steampowered.c...
only 9.47% of gamers' PCs are below the consoles in terms of graphics generation (DX/Opengl versions/features). 11.7% of PCs are on par with consoles, and a whopping 78.72% are DX10 and HIGHER, making them more advan...
The PC version was graphically superior as is any multiplat. Not to mention the PC version gives you the option for m/kb or controller while PS3 only gives you the controller. And even right now the PC version of portal 2 already has a custom map editor:

Way back in May in fact...
PC's are way more advanced and able to do way more than a console, of course they cost more.
While a PC game is better than the console version and costs LESS. There is no reason to buy a game on a console if you have a PC that is more powerful than the console (which is very likely).
The only reason I can think of getting a console game over the PC version is your friends on the console (for MP) or if you REALLY care about achievements/trophies.

He records with fraps, always a huge performance hit.
This guy always uses fraps, and that is a huge performance hit, especially on his rig. All his GTA videos do the same thing.
Lol, because consoles never have games that crash or corrupt saves or have glitches.
And PSN cloud wont do a thing if the game has a bug the MAKES the save corrupt. All that means is the PSN cloud will have a back up of a corrupted save!
PS, Steam has cloud save games too...and free

Plasma does not suck. Plasma response times are rated in NANOseconds (ns). Their response time is similar to CRT, which means there is no blur unlike LCD. I don't see how anyone could mistake this if they did research...
Also, they don't ghost, at least not if they are any older than 5 years and not a shit brand/model.
Usually you know the facts man. I am going to pretend you are having a bad day.
Desktops are definitely cheaper and the best way to game. However, you can get a laptop of the same performance for around 1,000 or more less dollars. It is a truly overpriced laptop.
Like any hobby, there are some who like going into detail and knowing the facts.
Just like a mom wants a car that can get her to stores and school and have room for the kids....
While a young guy wants to know what the 0-60 time for the car, the HP, the torque, max G's on a turn, turn radius, etc.
Some people take the hobby to a level of research and knowledge and details, not just practicality.
Personally, I love the det...

It is 16*1280=20,480
However, I still think the change is very minimal.
1280*720=921,600
921,600-20,480=901,120
901,120/921,600=.977777
So BF3 on the consoles runs at 97.7% of 720P. That is pretty damn close to 720P.
Well in coop, the players you see will be using a different animation set (so the animation looks good from the "third person") while your own character will use its own FP animations.
And the other players will do the same on their own console/PC, it will use the FP animations on itself and the TP animations on other players.
How much space a game takes on the hard drive.....and frame rate.....Have basically NOTHING to do with each other......sigh.....
PC games run at whatever the PC can run it at. Consoles get their graphics tweaked and reduced until the average frame rate is around the target the dev wants, they don't "set" the game to 30 FPS or 60 FPS, it doesn't work like that.....
Sigh....
Regen on tanks/vehicles only happens if:
-Not taking damage or suppressive fire (just like soldiers in BF3).
-Not damage beyond "lightly damaged". I would assume something like if your tank goes below 50-75%, you lose regen no matter what, even if you are all alone and no one is damaging you or firing at you. You will need an engineer.
For fucks sake, BF isn't a simulator. Just because BF aims to be pretty realistic, more so than COD, it doesn't mean it has to become a simulator.
It is a balancing act. Make it as realistic as possible but also as fun as possible.
Really people? This guy is obviously joking.....N4G is full of idiots.
It means the tank will only regen if its health only drops to 75% (or whatever % they are choosing) or higher. If your tank takes damage and is now at 74%, no health regen, you need an engineer.
I think this is to stop a tank from being worn down my noob tubes and grenades. But rockets will take it way past lightly damage and you get no health regen.
Also, you won't regen, just like the soldiers, if you are under fire, you can not be taking damage in BF3 ...
Making the assumption of 100% realism makes a better game will just make a simulator and that is a more narrow crowd (ARMA).
They are making the game realistic where it matters but still keeping a tight narrative/focus and are not trying to be some sort of sandbox game and let you kill civilians.
Holds up pretty well. Seems like alot of the effects are there but they just paired back the world density alot:

I wonder if it will still have the annoying AA method they used in Crysis 2 though. Hated that....
