I've been a battlefield fan for quite some time, and i've been following BF3.

I'm mostly worried that the failures of bad-company 2 will end up ported over to BF3.

In BF2, if I was rocketed, I could feel proud, it actually took some serious skill to kill people on foot with those things, but in Bad Company 2 everybody's got a n00b-tube.

Also, bad company 2 at least follows the inverse sniper law. The more snipers on your team, the less chance you have at winning.

I first read that last word as "whining." And wondered why you'd said "less."

I think my dual HD 5850s will be able to handle it just fine.

EWWWWWW consoles!

FPS + Game Controller FTL

FPS + Mouse + Keyboard = WIN

But it can be played as third-person, which suits consoles. Not my preference, but...

I don't know anything about playing in third person making it better on consoles, I wouldn't choose third person play on a console as a choice. I do think that FPS on PC's is better twitch wise, however I have grown to appreciate consoles more lately. They are much more balanced, everyone is on the same playing field, everybody has the same hardware, same rate of axis changes, unlikely to run into cheats, etc. It is also much more fun and comfortable playing with surround sound on a 55" screen from my couch. The ease of jumping in and out of games/tv and joining friends and comms is much easier.

I'm into playing with friends, if I could rely on playing with friends easily and in abundant numbers like the old Tribes days, I will get a FPS on the PC, but for me, most everybody has been on Xbox. Like Bad Company 2, I think 2 friends were regularly playing it on PC while there were a dozen playing on Xbox.

I hate the Xbox controllers so I dumped my Xbox....... Keyboard and mouse is all I can handle.
