Article from IGN today...

Battlefield 3 holds the weight of the gaming world on its shoulders. With the unavoidable comparison to Call of Duty, all eyes are on DICE and EA create something awesome. Since June, we've seen little to no news of progress beyond several demos of Operation Metro, a touch of the campaign, and a glimpse of what it's like to fly jets. Additionally, the public beta birthed widespread concern over whether or not the game can live up to the hype. With just over two weeks until the game arrives on store shelves, this dearth of info served as a red flag -- until now. After tackling a combination of single player, co-op, and multiplayer in a fresh build of Battlefield 3, I must say I'm pleasantly surprised.

Is it as glitchy as the beta? Not in my experience. If you've noticed, the beta hasn't updated on consoles and the build available to the public is over six weeks old. My time spent with these maps on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 flowed smoothly the entire time. I never saw anyone fall through the map and no long-neck avatars squirmed across the ground twitching. Not only that, enemies appear to take more damage to kill -- another qualm I had with what I'd played before the latest demo. Steady aim is paramount to success and I'd often have to run down a wounded player to finish them off. I too escaped death a few times after absorbing some damage and rushing to safety.

Read the rest here, didn't feel like posting the entire article...

I have a good enough PC, but using a mouse/keyboard is WAY too precise to be realistic. On consoles, the joystick gives far more realistic results from both sides mainly because people cannot use things like mice that can lower sensitivity on command to make it so you can snipe way too easily (R.A.T. 7 for instance), instantly spin around and stop on a dime with the aim precisely where they want, or make macros to instantly perform several actions that give people a competitive advantage. Overall, PC FPS are just a competitive scene ruined by people looking for every advantage over another and leading to an unrealistic and less enjoyable experience for the rest of the population.

Going to stop you there.

One of the biggest things I noticed in my beta playing on the xbox was how inaccurate you had to be to get kills and the auto aim was so painfully obvious I honestly facepalmed the first time I noticed it. I had my cross hair maybe half an inch away from the guy I was shooting it would cause him to take a hit.

The whole PC competitive scene nonsense. The PC competitive scene is small and private and for the most part when guys are playing on public servers they are playing to have a good time since the competitive scene can get a little rage worthy once in a while.

Why would they even include that in a shooter? That's the very first thing I did after downloading the beta...turned that shit off! I don't care if everyone else does use it. I don't want that type of crutch and want to feel like I'm actually the one playing the game and not the CPU.

Because consoles (well the sticks) are probably the worst thing when it comes to aiming and having aim assist on consoles just makes sense.

Its funny that jeremy complained about the PC side having better hardware and it being too precise when on the console side its so terrible that they have to have an auto assist on just to help make up for the terrible accuracy controllers have.

True, but like Jeremy said, that's one of the reasons I find it more challenging to play shooters on a console even though the mouse/keyboard setup is much more precise.

I haven't played a shooter on PC in a looooong time. Unreal Tournament was the last one I played on a PC.

Did they include 'aim assist' in the PC version of BF3, and if so, why would they? Did they do it in any of the previous games as well?

An optional hi-res texture install to be included on both console versions.
