    even if 10 out of 10 of the highest selling console games are FPS games, that doesnt mean anything concerning precision and fluidity.. 
     
    if the norm and 'whats cool' is for you to play COD on the X360 and barely hit anything, then thats what the majority of people will do. but since that was gonna happen if COD was a serious shooter, they un-serious'd it by making you kill people just by spraying bullets around them. which keeps console players coming back ;]

    Whatever.  I'm just saying that people seem to like controllers for their FPS games just fine, including the big four behind this website.

    Most probably console. I just know that if I got it for PC I would spend more time in the settings menu than actually playing it.

    Steam version on PC
     
    PC really is the best answer if you have got the gear to run the game decently.

    Normal PS3 retail, kind of worried about consoles playing second fiddle though. Its cool that Dice is playing to their roots but as part of the crowd crossing their fingers for something to take a bite out of CoD especially when things sound shakey for MW3 a lackluster console port will take away the good will built up by Bad Company and how it washed away the bad taste of BF2 Modern Combat.

    This thread is full of sad PC elitist bullshit......some people are buying this on a console because that is what they own not because they are morons and can't see that the PC version is better.

    Probably this too. I prefer gamepad+couch+TV, but it sure does look good on the PC and it has his certain advantages (and pitfalls) on the PC. I guess PS3 on launch and PC on Steam sale.

    Elitist PCtards, I promise you, if I pick up the PS3 version that I will enjoy it just as much as the PC folk.
     
    In saying that I do have a PC that can handle the game I just prefer controller and always did.

    Limited Edition on console (360) probably.
     
    I don't own a gaming rig, otherwise I'd pick it up on the PC.

    @Bucketdeth: I don't care if you'll enjoy it or not, but you'll make yourself a huge favor if you spend $20 less to play the superior version with a controller. Since it's as easy as just plugging your Dual Shock in your PC (it will very likely work natively), ya know.

    I'm definitely not crossing the PC out, there's a very good chance I will purchase it on steam. Ever since the PSN outage I have been using my PC a lot more and am finding it hard to go back to the console.
     
    In saying that, I grew up with consoles (and PC) so playing it on either would satisfy me.

    That's bullshit, console gamers don't bash PC gamers like the PC crowd does to the console crowd. Just because I may buy BF3 for console doesn't meen I'm "Doing it wrong" like some PC snob said somewhere in this thread.
     
    But look, I game mostly on a my PC now a days but I can totally see why people would play on console. It's just a different experience from one another.

    I'll wait to see more about it.
    If it looks like its made for console then I'll get the console one.
    If it looks made for a PC, then I'll wait a year and get it on a steam sale.

    So you've played both the PC and console version BF3? I know the experience will be different but from smaller maps and player count I don't see that big of a difference. Also in me bashing PC gamers, I usually don't but when I see so many posts saying things like "Buying BF3 on console, you doing it wrong". No I'm doing it right, I want to play on my console and I will.

    No I'm pretty sure if you have the option to play on either PC or Consoles, and you pick consoles, well your defiantly doing it wrong.

    I don't do this because I have my PS3 with my surround sound on a 40" HDTV and my computer is a laptop with a 15" screen. Also most of my friends play on the PS3, so it really is just a better option for me.

    No sir, Just like my above post, I prefer playing on my 40" HDTV with my surround sound and comfy couch, compared to playing on my laptop.

    Elitist PCtards, I promise you, if I pick up the PS3 version that I will enjoy it just as much as the PC folk. In saying that I do have a PC that can handle the game I just prefer controller and always did.
    Thats all nice and good for you but shit you dont have to call us elitist pctards.

    If you do have a PC that can handle it, then why not just plug a controller into your PC and enjoy a prettier version?

    Cause.... i dont know why he dosent do that why not?
    I don't do this because I have my PS3 with my surround sound on a 40" HDTV and my computer is a laptop with a 15" screen. Also most of my friends play on the PS3, so it really is just a better option for me.

    Elitist PCtards,
    I love how this website tolerates PC and Wii bashing, just because they're not the majority of the gaming public  shit on PC gamers all you want, nothing happens. Have the PC side talk back, they're deemed elitist trolls, with a possible ban or two.
    That's bullshit, console gamers don't bash PC gamers like the PC crowd does to the console crowd. Just because I may buy BF3 for console doesn't meen I'm "Doing it wrong" like some PC snob said somewhere in this thread.  But look, I game mostly on a my PC now a days but I can totally see why people would play on console. It's just a different experience from one another.
    Yeah it is a completely different experience, especially for Battlefield 3. Also your post contradicts what you said, also, cause your bashing PC gamers.
    So you've played both the PC and console version BF3? I know the experience will be different but from smaller maps and player count I don't see that big of a difference. Also in me bashing PC gamers, I usually don't but when I see so many posts saying things like "Buying BF3 on console, you doing it wrong". No I'm doing it right, I want to play on my console and I will.
    No I'm pretty sure if you have the option to play on either PC or Consoles, and you pick consoles, well your defiantly doing it wrong.
    No sir, Just like my above post, I prefer playing on my 40" HDTV with my surround sound and comfy couch, compared to playing on my laptop.
    O ok well that seems reasonable hope you have fun then.
