It’s common knowledge that Battlefield 3 won’t be a PC exclusive — the economics of videogames today challenge the perception of any “exclusive” title, meaning that Battlefield 3 will be released on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. However, it doesn’t mean that the PC version will be a port, as is the case with many games today (like the recent Modern Warfare titles). A DICE developer popped into the forums an addressed the issues head on:

“It’s too early to talk BF3 specifics. But it’s never too early for me to acknowledge that PC players have a fear that BF3 will be “consolized.” PC gaming is alive and well, BFBC2 has proven that and no one at DICE or EA can argue with the numbers. Battlefield 3 needs an extra bit of special attention on the PC. I intend to give it that attention, tradition and our community demand it.”
