More trouble than it's worth, but thanks for the snark.

I have never been a Battlefield player, but this game looks awesome.

Sounds awesome!

My home's layout and spousal unit make that a difficult proposition for me.

Only option in my case would be a big TV for the office and a couch...and a new computer...and controller...and a keggerator...hmmm.

Some people put LED lights on their computer. I put mine on my windows.

Re: Battlefield 3

Hell yeah, big screen PC gaming is where it's at. Although even though I have a 64" Plasma, I still rather play some games on my desktop.

Re: Battlefield 3

I'm now having the hard decision to make if I want to get the game on PC, XBOX or PS3.

Ugh.

PC is tempting because of the 64-player multiplayer, but I tend to prefer FPS of this nature on the console due to the controls.

Re: Battlefield 3

If you get it on PS3, you can play with classy folks like Cruz.

I think I'm going to use a Xbox 360 controller for some vehicles and keyboard/mouse for everything else. Not sure how well that will work, but I'll see.

I don't think the Battlefield games support the 360 controller on PC.

Speaking of the PC controller, I hope Mass Effect 3 offers support for it. The combat is more Gears Of War/Uncharted in nature this time around so I don't think the ol' keyboard and mouse will suit it this time out.

Not sure why the Xbox 360 controller would be singled out. You could map whatever buttons you want as long as it supports mapping.

I thought only "Games For Windows" (or whatever the hell they're called) titles support the 360 controller.

Okay, so I haven't actually used the 360 controller on the PC yet (waiting for my wireless adapter), but with any other controller you just go into the menu and setup the mapping. I know people who play Trine using the 360 controller, and I don't believe that has the GFW tag. GFW is basically just a marketing ploy. GFWL is of course a bit more than that with it's awful infrastructure and achievements.

Re: Battlefield 3

I wanna get the new 360 controller but it doesn't come with a wireless adapter. The old controller on the otherhand does. I know someone over at the Xbox thread showed me an adapter over at amazon.com but some of the customer reviews claimed it was a bootleg.

Re: Battlefield 3

Don't worry about the fact that it is from a 3rd party. DealExtreme has them for under $10 shipped. I ordered one last week, should get it soon. Reviews on them are good.

You'll have 3 weeks to play the hell out of BF3, that should count for something.

Re: Battlefield 3

Nobody posted the full trailer yet? This game looks amazing on Xbox, why bother with a PC?

Re: Battlefield 3

sooooo...how're they doing it? Splitting the campaign in 2 and then multi works w/ whichever disc? Or...Campaign on one and the Multi on the other?
