no. i really doubt that will ever happen in a AAA title for real competitive fpses. the different controllers really require different play styles, and they don't mix well.

Yep no one likes to play with skill against auto aim.

I hate to see so many bad comments...

Yes this is a bad move by EA, but who actually cares? It's not going to to stop be playing it on my PC, online with more players per server then console gamers can dream of.

PC = 64 players per server
Consoles = 24 player per server

Face it, they HAVE to give console gamers something. With the not so exciting number of players per server, console users online play experience will not be anywhere as good as the PC.

But whatever... doesn't really matter what you play it on, it will be an awesome game! But better on PC ;)

I think we pc gamers for will have a far greater experience playing this game than the people playing the console versions,remember folks pc gamers do fps better than anyone else :p


Just for reference if you wish to vent your /hatred/anger/discomfort/amazement at the fact that console players are to get the rich pickings that are being offered go to the official BF3 wall on facebook http://www.facebook.com/battlefield?sk=wall and also on youtube too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw49bqv0lRU and have your say.

I am sure someone at EA might listen....
