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...
