pc > all

PS3 less hacked.
PC plays infinitely better. (KB/Mouse always beats controller, period.)

Tough choice...

Harrison,

Definitely PC if you care about the "eye candy" of the game. And you are absolutely correct, Mouse/KB crushes any controller, period. The quality between PC & PS3/XBOX is very stark (if you have a decent CPU/GPU). DICE admitted that they are running a "low-res" version of BF3 on Consoles just to keep it going smooth (I can't find the bloody slide from their powerpoint that shows this! Saw it a few days ago..).

Here's a nice 1080p max video of BF3 on PC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ6j8p6w2RI\
Just plain beautiful.

Look me on Xbawks if anyone wants to squad it up. Tag is Trakanon. And I don't buy the mouse/keyboard > all argument. It all depends on how comfortable you are with whatever device you're using. I'm better with keyboard/mouse because it's what I use more. But someone who has been using controllers hardcore for years will probably destroy your average dipshit PC fanboy. A controller on high sensitivity is a very articulate device, but most people just haven't developed the muscle memory in their thumbs to be as effective with a controller as they are with a mouse.

I think I've chosen PC. Will be up and going tomorrow!

Computer mouse + keyboard always better than a fucking controller that you use a joystick to aim with.

Had the same problem with coop/sending invites, make sure your adobe flash is updated, turn your antivirus off (or change some settings, web shield off for avast.)

Just anecdotal evidence. People talk about mouse and keyboard as if it's this magical, mythical device that in the hands of anyone allows them to be a frag monster, when it's the person playing that matters. The advantages/disadvantages of the input devices are negligible. The only factors that matter are how comfortable the player is with the device, how it is set up as far as sensitivity and button layout, and their "skill" level for gaming, as far as their reaction times, how well they can predict other players' behaviors, etc.

[Harrison]

Lol you're bad if you think a pro with a controller could even come close to an average to above average player with a keyboard and mouse.

Same map awareness/knowledge
Same game acclimation
Same ping
Etc.

Keyboard and mouse will destroy controller, every time. If you disagree with this, you're a joke lol

[Diggles]

I agree, I can't snipe for shit on a controller and it's my best role on KB+M

[Biffins]

If you disagree with this, you're a joke lol

Damn I guess I've been owned then.

[Harrison]

Probably an xbox fanboy, then.

[Biffins]

ok

[Gwence]

kb/mouse far superior, sorry biffens

pc far superior over console as well in all facets, assuming it's a "gaming" pc or somewhat close

That I agree with, though I like consoles for the social aspect since none of my real life friends are hardcore gamers with gaming PCs. Consoles are convenient in that you can pull it out of the box and it's ready to go.

[Tommy_Wiseau]

mouse = move hand to point on XY grid where your enemy's head is
analog stick = push stick to arbitrarily defined point where acceleration in the direction on XY grid you want is maximized, wait awhile, and hope your cursor arrives where you wanted

mouse/keyboard better by definition.

[Biffins]

I'm just saying that people way over exaggerate the advantages. Controllers have evolved since the NES days, and in skilled hands they are a perfectly viable device. People make it sound like you put a mouse in the hands of a downs kid and he's going to clean house.

[Diggles]

i guarantee if you put T2 (lol mlg) vs some random kid who's done a few tournaments with a KB and Mouse he'll clean T2's clock

ya most of my friends are console junkies too, it's really annoying because they're missing out on some awesome games.

Anyway I can understand your point, my friend is an outstanding Black Ops player on 360, I mean like amazing. He uses a controller obv, but I think if he would ever try it for a while on a PC he could be even better.

Also I have a PS3 but I usually only play games on it that I don't deem worthy for my PC lol =p
