Marketing was clearly PC-led, access to console versions during preview events was limited to snippets of the campaign and co-op levels, and right up until last few weeks leading up to the launch, the Xbox 360 version in particular was conspicuous by its absence.

Wake Island. That was the map DICE put in the demo. A crescent shaped rock in the Pacific Ocean, it was home to a dusty airfield and no more than a dozen threadbare shacks housing some rusty tanks.
