Battlefield 3 (PC players assemble!!)

[Vivasanti]

So whose pre ordered?

This is the first FPS pc game ive pre ordered in the last 6-7 years

Wondering if i should use my controller as im rusty with the mouse, may have to play some quake like to get the mlook reflexes up

Count me in, controller vs pc players with a mouse....hehehe that sounds unwise

A good fun BM platoon is what we need, it's a shame we can't cross-platform.

I'm going to be sad if EA doesn't put this on steam.

^ I'm pretty sure it won't be on Steam as EA announced their 'Steam'-like client recently which is now the only online distributor of Crysis 2.

Herp Derp I haven't pre-ordered yet. I should've done so when it was on Steam, eh.

Pre Ordered off MA

will be good times to play with some different faces, if we can squad up as easy as you can on console?

I quite often wish I had a mouse / keys with my xbox. Sooo much better IMO

[Maucrephy]

Hmmm Ive played BF play for free on PC and im shit with the mouse and keys ,I dont like it at all .I think if I had a controller with the sencitivity to my settings I would be heaps better and using a controller for vehicals and aircraft would be easyer too............ the only things that puts me off PC is the mouse and the boosting that goes on

[Vivasanti]

Well i came from PC background and i played with a controller past 5 years so id think im just as good on controller, controller is def better for ya hands at the end of playing for a few hours

Plenty of boosting on consoles to mau, + glitches, best thing is theres server admins so cheats and boosters usually dont bother

[Leggetron]

I think Shadowrun is the reason why CT101st thinks it might not be a good idea

[CT101st]

^^ bang on the money legge, controllers are certainly great for extended hours of play,
And work well with certain genres of gaming, but when you need precision and quick twitch accuracy keyboard/mouse combo wins hand down,
getting used to it is key and if coming from a predominantly console background then it's a greater hurdle to climb

[Maucrephy]

Yeah I see ,I had a go with a controller on BFP4free and even tho I doubled my score I didnt enjoy it half as much as BFBC but its a totally different game really

Got it pre-ordered from Mighty Ape!!!!
