Be sure though, to tell me if you guys pic up the PC version... curiosity has got me thinking an analog vs. mouse AZ game may be in order.

GawD damn this topic has been discussed to hell.

There is a reason why you don't see console games able to play against PC games.

Being a pc gamer doesn't automatically make you a better player.

It's the control that makes the difference between the 2.

It's just more precise and quicker to aim with a mouse than a tiny thumbstick.

If you want to use your xbox controller on the Pc version be my guest.
No one method is better than the other, they're 2 entirely different skill sets but dont really go well together.

right, but my gaming experience will be the same... the graphics will look better and it'll be a smaller screen for the most part...

the opponents change, but i dont...

lucky for me im a sniper in Battlefield... so looking in doorways, windows, bushes is my game.

maybe i get shot faster in a situation i'd normally win against another controller player.. but i dont think it'll ruin my experience by any means.. i simply just dont prefer to point and click over squeezin the trigger.

nothing against pc gamers at all..

i see what you're getting at there. point taken.

clicking a mouse to kill does seem kinda dumb, if you think about it on its face. but ive done it for so long that I dont really mind. and, I don't expect to feel like I'm holding a real gun.

the maps on console are made for 12 v. 12 you dont really notice the difference

32 vs. 32 sounds fun, but seems like it would be a clusterfuck after a while.

i'll keep both in mind pending future gameplay vids...
