Battlefield Tri-hard

I got some decent playtime out of BF3 before I decided that I just wasn't having fun with it anymore. Not as much as BC2, but enough that I can at least justify the purchase of the game itself. Premium, though, I'm not sure was a wise expenditure. I've only played CQ and a couple rounds of AK as far as the expansions go (B2K doesn't count).

Hello modacity, so I sold alot of my xboxes and got a new laptop, sager NP9150 and ive been dying to play some BF3.

I'm absolutely abysmal with a mouse keyboard and I was wondering if anyone knew some good settings for the xbox 360 controller. Also if you could add me the modacity platoon id be awesome!

thanks guys

Edit I suck so hard at this game its not even funny.

You should learn to get good with a mouse and keyboard, once you're good with them you'll be significantly better than you could ever be with a controller...

Or he could use a controller which suits his own preference.
Using a keyboard and mouse is not the be all end all, it's an option and one of the greatest assets of playing on a pc is options.

Have you played Battlefield 3 on PC with a controller? You'll get wrecked in every encounter. Take it from me.

I always play BF3 with a controller and have no problems at all playing against people with KB/M.
Take it from me, if you're good with a controller then there's no need to switch to a more uncomfortable control set up.

The controller has inferior controls, though. You need to take your thumb off the movement thumbstick just to spot enemies. Controllers are more comfortable, yes, but I am absolutely certain that a KB/M will outplay a controller in most cases. However, since you are used to using a controller to begin with (and I am not), I am willing to believe your ability to play fine against other people. What I'm saying, though is that you aren't reaching your potential for skill in the game. If you have no problem with that, that's fine, too.

They're both tools, it's all how you use them.

the argument is that playing on pc offers you the ability to use the mouse, which is pretty much undeniably more precise than a joystick. i dont care how good your muscle memory is. it is just physically impossible for a joystick to be more precise than a mouse. plus theres the issue of having to find a balance between turning fast and precise aiming. with a mouse, you just move it further. also, see the following video for why you should get used to a mouse:


i feel physical agony at the thought of snapping to targets and countering recoil with a controller, especially looking at that diagonal AEK recoil.

E: and for the love of fucking god, look up the window's mouse accelleration fix. windows 7 (and vista too, i think) has forced mouse acceleration, and the only way to turn it off is to edit a registry file that re-defines the curve used for mouse acceleration. one to one movement is absolutely vital to mouse precision.

E2: for the proponents of control sticks, plug in a joystick. like, one youd use to fly aircraft in a flight simulator. try making precise movements and aiming with that. you see how sluggish and clunky it is? especially to return to the zero point at the center? controller sticks suffer from the exact same problems because they are exactly the same thing, just smaller. a mouse doesnt suffer from the mechanical limitation of returning to the zero point, and therefore is inherintly more precice.

pardon me for bashing your method of play here if youre a controller person. im just trying to provide a convincing argument for why you should really consider a mouse for first person shooters. it is difficult to get used to. i remember my first time playing halo pc with a mouse having come from xbox. i was like "what the fuck is this? how do people do this?". now? you couldnt pay me to go back to controllers for aiming.

I'm back to mouse/keyboard! I will keep the controller handy for vehicles tho, the most difficult thing for me is dealing with the keyboard...

Also anyway I can get batter guns with decent sights? buying that assualt and recon package looks super tempting.
