I’ve only played RTS type games on my computer, but now w/ BF4 I sense the need to use a proper controller. I ordered an xbox controller for Windows, but in the meantime I have a PS3 controller I’d like to use.

Does anybody have any tips on how to button map the PS3 controller to resemble a regular console-like setup for BF4?

_“..I sense the need to use a proper controller.”_

Go back to console gaming then ! Do yourself a favor and get a gaming mouse & keyboard !

Oh, sorry I didn’t ask clearly, here’s the question again.

“Does anybody have any tips on how to button map the PS3 controller to resemble a regular console-like setup for BF4?”

I hate people like that. Try MotionJoy and copy the buttons from Xbox if remember.
