Wait what? Precision is better... where? Your backwoods logic is becoming difficult to follow. Plus, no one said that kbm was better for everything. PC's give you options. I have a Onza gamepad sitting right next to my deathadder.

There is not one single way that the console version of this game is better.

I'd definitely rather talk about the game. The only reason this is an issue, this time, is because someone can't let people talk about the differences between the PS3 debut and the PC footage without getting their feelings hurt.

If someone thought the PS3 version looked bad than something something PC fanboy.

We should be talking about how one can refuse to be revived in BF3 instead. Woot.

Ohh that's pretty cool, no longer, the getting revived 5 times in a row again :)

Seriously. It's a good compromise, I think. In BF2 I didn't mind, since you didn't technically die.. but it lead to some really inflated KDR's/egos :)What exactly is there to disagree about?

Analog movement would be the only debatable benefit of a gamepad for the genre, and really, it's not implemented in any real capacity in most console shooters. But if you prefer a pad, you prefer a pad. You can't argue with that. I can only say that I think that if some people bothered to get good w/ the kbm they'd never look back. Precision? How about reaction time. That's what you're really losing with the pad. And that's among the most important features for the PC version, for me. Hell, in a game like Battlefield, which isn't as squarely targeting "real" PC exclusive features (the way that BF2 did, or RO2 will), input and graphics (and player count) are about the only differences left.

I hope the revive thing is pretty seemless. I'd like revives to function the same on the medics end, but hopefully there's just some toggle that prevents you from getting a res.

That's an issue I think has its roots in Battlefield 2. BF2 only allowed you to spawn on a squad leader, but (unlike BF3) it didn't give the squad leader the option of respawning on a squadmate. However, you could still leave and rejoin your squad, or hop to another. This lead to some pretty heavy handed squad hopping tactics, which I actually enjoyed, but mostly because I played the game in a league and on a ladder. Somewhere along the line, DICE decided this was an issue, and implemented a fix where you could not spawn on a new squad that you joined while dead. They of course threw all of these concepts out the window in favor of a completely open squad system in BC2.

I'm not sure either solution was anymore right than the other. The problem I have with Battlefield 2 is that DICE bent to the will of the pub community over and over, which presented all sorts of issues for organized play. I do not like it when a game literally becomes a different thing all together a few patches down the line. BF2 1.0 is an entirely different (and imo, better, especially since they never fixed several big-time bugs anyway) beast than 1.5. I want them to make some solid decisions and fucking stick to them. I don't mind balance tweaks and bug fixes but don't fuck with the fundamentals. Severe (and hackish) changes to movement and squad play were just too much.

The squad spawn system and revive decline thing seem like systems from BF2 and Bad Company are meeting somewhere in the middle. I think that could work.

Dude not to bitch on you again, but I get a virus warning from that site, you might want to just post the youtube link from now on:

Yes, no more links from that site. If I were the owner of it I'd check it for Javascript exploits.
