It's nice to see that i'm not the only one having this issue. I too would like to see this resolved.
I started off on the Xbox beta and was one of the first 500 players jumping onto the eastern servers when DICE opened them up for the 360(stood in line for two hours at gamestop for the midnight opener...and all the server crashes that followed all morning long haha) But overall worth waiting for when i actually got to play through a match...and marvel at what i thought were beautiful graphics lol. After i got a copy of the pc version a few weeks ago, i felt cheated. Never before had sniping been so....so....crisp at a distance. No motion blur(so glad i can turn that crap off lol), and my frames don't drop below 60fps.
Oh sorry about the rambling, getting back on point. I was leading up to the fact that i still enjoy using the 360's controller, I used to be a keyboard and mouse junkie, but the smoothness of the 360 controller just make's sniping so much more easier to cold bore for me. For those who have played both the pc and the Xbox versions, i have to ask, have you noticed that the 360's version has quite a few more control setups and tweaks than the pc's? So with all those extra control functions, why is it that the pc seem's so lacking in optional control settings? If not for that i would be using a Hotas for my aerial combat. 😕mileyvery-happy:
I do hope DICE will fix the bug, I love flying the heli's but i had to learn how to fly(again) facing straight the whole time though, randomly reaching over to the mouse to admire the scenery. lol Either way the controller to me makes it easier to sneak, aim(i have a twitchy hand) and most definitely hovering with heli's without losing alltitude due to frantically pressing a key in an attempt to stay in the same place....Though if DICE incorperated IR tracking, i personally have a TrackIR 5, looking around in any of the cockpits of that game would never be the same again...and i look forward to that. Think about it, to actually be able to look down at where your going without feeling rediculous fumbling around holding a button, or going to 3rd person with a fixed camera aimed just slightly too high to land without hitting something. 😕mileyfrustrated:
Thank you for reading, i hope someone finds helpful/insightful information out of.....all this rambling!(points up, arms open wide)
Oh!! To any of the DICE or EA guys looking on here, please take a look into the IR tracking, i mostly use mine for War Thunder, and it changed the way i played and viewed that game within the first hour...and with all the tension that Battlefield 3 creates already, just from the sounds alone, i can only imagine what it would feel like with a pair of Turtle Beaches and an IR tracker making me feel like i'm really there in the vehicle i'm driving or riding in.
I'd probably have trouble playing other games after that...i play BF3 enough as it is haha
