    This game shipping date is still TBA. Though EA(my former employer grr) plans on forgetting PC gamers with this on release. PS3 and 360 Consoles only. Though I do think they will release a PC version later on. With all the money consoles bring in its hard to not think PC gaming is getting weeded out. At first PC gamers where the innovators, now we are second hands.

    Just so I can get it out. I will crush any Halo player using a controller while I use a keyboard and mouse.

    Ok enough out of me. Check out the details if you haven't already...a trailer is available to (kinda old). I have to say WOW! and I will not buy or play it until its on the PC. Just like I am doing with Gears of War.

    Yeah gears of war extra content for pc so the wait will be worth it for that and battlefield. Besides plenty of good pc games coming down the pipe to keep us all happy and preoccupied.

    I have other reasons to be mad at them but I understand what you mean.

    Yes, I have some titles I am building a new rig for this Oct/Nov.

    Well, duh, if I plugged a control into my PC I'd expect to be ass kicked. That's why I play R:FOM with a mouse.

    After playing BF2 with all its patches it felt like I was still playing beta. Cause I was playing Quake Wars the other day in its beta2 and it felt smoother than BF2. The with EA is that they are a cash cow and they do not support their games very well, except they release crappy expansion packs that no one plays... Anywho, im not really excited about BF Bad Company...

    @Lysander

    What I was trying to get across though not so straight forward (I apologize) was that with a mouse and keyboard a players movement is more fluid. So why use a controller with such a game? I also understand if everyone was handicapped with a controller then would it really matter?

    Quake Wars is amazing. BF2 killer all the way. EA is a cash cow and support for their games is horrible. With BF2 it did get better but nothing to write about other than its still trash. I took BF2 for what it is. I don't think to much into the dynamics of the game (rare for me). I took its flaws as a challenge and played with them as what they are. They seem to try to solve the flaws, not with patches but with expansions and new releases. Bad Practice. Bad Company still looks amazing. Good potential.
