Well there has been a few disappointed people as a result of the recently shown console version of Battlefield 3 and more than a few people who are more than happy with how it looks.

Some new information has been revealed today about how the game will run on consoles, we already know it will be outputting at 720p and today it has been announced that the game will not hit 60FPS due to current technology constraints.

When asked on twitter if the PS3 version of the game would run at 60FPS, Dice’s Johan Andersson replied;

“No we always do 30 fps on consoles, not possible to fit in vehicles, fx, scale and all players otherwise.”
