I tried it on PC and 360... it's so much better on PC. Not just graphics either, you can't beat the precision of the mouse and keyboard, the 360 controller just feels sluggish and clumsy by comparison.

Yes, the PC experience will always crush a console due to controls. But, for us average folk that don't like to upgrade our PC's every year the 360 is a nice, convenient alternative :p

I'm raping faces w/ my support kit... If you got blown to pieces by C4, it was probably by me...

That, and the consoles get the watered down version to support their hardware. PC maps are huuuuuge

[Silverlsinva]

[TripleB]

You need the right mouse and keyboard set up, the default is never right for most, why console sucks, your so locked into what does what. I could takedown any pro console gamer with a PC.

Best kind of mouse is hard to find as they change designs so fast [ im still use the one I like from the 90s I only find NOS or used on ebay]. But a thumb/finger control trackman is percison when it comes to head shots. Very minimal thumb movements, almost reflexes to take em out. [not whipping your wrist all over with a traditional mouse]

I use these keys

3 button mouse, no mouse wheel.
button 1 fire, button 2 backpedal, button 3 forward

z-zoom
x-straff left
c-crouch
v-straff right
b-reload
n-nect weapon
alt-alt fire -open crap
space-jump

Thats keeps all the main controls in one easy to access location, with minimal finger movement to stay alive. You can just reflex click.

other not cricital controls are where ever.

[Mindz]

i have no idea what the xbox controls are
I kept getting merc'ed...I'll stick to halo and modern warefare's campaign

Been enjoing the beta!!!
