They will push the boundaries to make the video hardware squeeze every juice of detail into the cinematic environments. If you're a PC gamer than it's your lucky day!! DICE have already shown their intent on making the PC version of Battlefield 3 the most luscious, graphically exquisite FPS around. Just prepare for the PC version of Battlefield 3 to be far superior to the console versions in terms of graphics. It's therefore a wise choice to drop the frame rate to support the heavily marketed FrostBite 2 game engine with fully destructible environments. Unfortunately, the Xbox 360 and to some extent the PS3, both have limited video card and graphic capabilities. The full 60 fps PC version is possible thanks to the acceleration of modern video cards with built in memory of their own. Lower frame rates would certainly make for faster online games which are more responsive and of course more enjoyable. One of the big winners for any console game is also the multiplayer aspect.
It seems clear that a low frame rate would make it easier to develop larger maps and more destructible environments because the game is only redrawn at half the speed. See the Battlefield 3 PC gameplay video DICE explained that they're prioritising player numbers, map sizes and destruction over the frame rate and resolution on consoles.
All console versions on PS3 and Xbox 360 will run at half the frame rate, so that's only 30 fps. DICE just confirmed that the Battelfield 3 demo shown at E3 2011 was the PC version running the game at the full 60 fps.
