If you can run BC2 well, you should be fine or BF3. So need... probably not, want, haha sure.
I've always planned to get BF3, but never really saw a lot of gameplay except like 1 or 2 in E3. Now, after going through all these videos, it's jaw-dropping, and very stunning. Not sure if I should get it for my PS3 or PC.
1) I believe you can only play 64 player on PC, that's why I wanted to get it. If I do decide to get it for my PC, I can play with friends in eGO and have a lot more fun. The downside is I have to get a new graphics card and it will cost about 150$+60$ (The game) and that's 210 right there.
2) If I get it for my PS3, I can't play 64 player, play w/ eGO clanmates, or have as much fun as I do w/ PC. But in the end, I would save 150$ and for sure, my PS3 would run it.
DARN! Hard decision.

Since we are all pretty much going to be playing BF3 on PC, please add commo rose as a feature of BF3 for PC.
It was confirmed recently. Proof is in the link below:

Commo-rose is in the PC version of BF3 (nothing on console for that yet).
For those who don't know what commo rose is, it's a very effective way of communicating with your team (similar to L4D's radial menu).
Whenever you request a team action such as a medic or ammo, everyone on your team is notified of your need for whatever team action you require.
Here is an example of commo-rose in action on BF2142:

It is so much better than the communication system in BC2 because you could only request help from one teammate at a time.
A video below demonstrated by my friend how useless it is in a situation where he asks a medic for a medkit:

I played the Alpha of BF3 and all I can say is that the game holds up to all the hype. It truly is an amazing game!

Awesome post Slaz =). Thanks for compiling it all together!
Things I'm not sure I'll like:
UAV being soldier equipment (I like BC2's UAV idea better, as more of a vehicle)
Vehicles with regen health...lolwut?
The plethora of different gun sights

The graphics will be dumbed down for consoles too since it will be a DX10/DX11 game for PC.
