CERFY was at C2E2 today to get some more details on Battlefield 3. The footage wasn't open to the public, but they were able to squeeze some pretty good answers out of the developers and people in the know about Battlefield 3. One question relating to whether or not console players would get smaller maps than their PC team-mates. The answer was yes, console players will get smaller maps in Battlefield 3.

Another question that has been seen many times on this forum and around other gaming websites was how were jets going to deal with the compressed maps. The reply they got was that only the players are limited to a boundary, jets would be able to fly out to circle around and come-back. Probably a lot like in Battlefield 2, soldiers couldn't go past a certain point, but jets could keep going. This is seen in the below screen shot, soldiers -> helicopters can't enter the red areas, but planes could.

Fueling the PC vs. console debate is how the graphics will differ on the platforms. This to was also answered. With DICE's talented development team they have been able to compress the graphics through streaming (which we've been hearing a lot about from GDC 2011 conferences) and pipelines. The console will then uncompress the information with about the same quality as the PC. A console has not been seen running the game yet and multiplayer videos of Battlefield 3 have not yet been seen as well.

The article did not state who they (CERFY) interviewed, but we trust it was someone reputable.
