Re: Battlefield 3

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.

I know there are much better setups but for me (having previously only gamed on a small monitor on a desk in my room) it is awesome.

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

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.

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.

Re: Battlefield 3
Thanks. 
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.

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.

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.

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?
