more than anything else it's things like this which give gamers a bad name

Cause any reality tv show does justice to the "culture" it represents.

It still didn't feel right? Could you expand on that thought a little? What I don't like about console gaming is it feels sluggish and unresonpsive. On the PC I was all about quick snaps onto target for some semi auto firing and mostly on target. Console gaming now with the controller is all about spraying at my skill level.

Well I'll switch back too when I can afford it.

I feel like I'm rowing your old boat.

It was just slow. I don't know. No matter how much I messed with the sens and made configs it just never felt the same (most likely it was the console). Don't get me wrong, it works great for what it is and I brought some serious ownage with it once I got use to it, saved me a ton of money and allowed me to have a lot of fun on the 360 since I'm completely worthless with bullshit game pads.

I would do it all over again. If you can't afford to PC game right now then by all means go for it, it's totally worth it but it will take some time getting use to it. But the first game back on PC it was like finding the holy grail of accuracy and turn speed.

Also be prepared to play with people that have absolutely ZERO situational awareness, it's seriously aggravating.

I know that weird FragFX mouse controller thing I had, had at least a half-second response time, made it totally useless.

No, it's not shitty like that.

Here are a couple raw recordings of me using the XIM on BC2.

If you can't take the time to use a controller. Then you're doing it wrong, kids on consoles are wicked easy to destroy when you learn to use the controllers.

PC is still going to be better. Regardless of what argument is used, the PC version will be the best.

Didn't even know you could do that. Does that require constant IP checking in order to play online or are you just going to play single player?(Interested in the networking aspect.)

This is just to beat the initial release date check. I have no idea if there is anything else from there. As far as I know once you've done the release date check you can play, but if that's not the case then whatever.
