I want to play the game on PS4, but I won’t be able to get my copy for a few months, so I was thinking about getting it on PC.

My main gripe with BF3 on PC is the controller support was pretty bad, whats it like on PC? do you have to hold down the run button to keep running? or is it like on xbox & ps3 versions where you can just tap and run?

I know some of you will be like “just use a kb&m” but I’m not comfortable with that yet and I will perform better with a controller until I get some practice in.

I also wish to know. Yes kb&m is better but I play way better with a controller.

I played BF3 for some time with my Xbox controller on my PC as i was a huge COD fan on Xbox and had trouble adjusting to KB&M.

It worked fine and was just like playing on Xbox, however KB&M accuracy is far superior and had trouble on a 1v1 fights. It works but KB&M players will always have an advantage as they can mitigate the guns recoil must better than a controller. So i practice a bit more with KB&M and would not go back. Having said that I have no idea how to fly any of the planes and choppers with KB&M and switch to Xbox controller when flying.

You might find it playable, but you’re going to have a hard time surviving the games with everyone else using KB+M on PC servers.

I just switch to it when getting in vehicles. Planes and Helis are MUCH easier IMO

Definitely poasible and quite enjoyable.

I bought BF3 for the PC to get good at the game on PS3.

Players on PC camp a lot more, so you learn the good spots to check and how to read the flow of the battle.

…I miss PC. Lol

Joystick/gamepad support is annoying at best in BF4. It has never been good throughout the series.
