Will you be able to use controller for PC version?

Will you be able to change “press spacebar” to “press A” etc..

Snoop was using a controller in the Live-stream, wasn’t doing too well, from what I could observe.

I would prefer true joystick support however, I shouldn’t be at a disadvantage versus someone with a KBM setup

I play siege and the division on my pc and I also have both of those games on the ps4. The aiming with the controller on the pc is just as good/ maybe just a hair worse but very playable. So when it comes to ubi soft games I can use my controller on my pc with no complaints. However every single game I get from ea on my pc the controller compared to using the controller on the console is horrible. Ea games that I have on pc and console are need for speed most wanted, battlefront, and battlefield 3. EA there is no reason why there should any noticeable difference between using a controller on the pc and the console. Please fix this because I want to buy battlefield 1 for pc an ps4..

It’s possible they may. Even if it isn’t its not too hard to get an Xbox controller to work on PC games.

Playstation controllers for PC games don’t ever work properly. The drivers to make it work don’t actually work too well.

Totally agree. EA needs to give good controller support for BF1. I don’t want to play this on console because I enjoy the pc graphics so much better.

It’ll no doubt have support but any aim assist associated with consoles isn’t going to be implemented on PC.

They probably had them using a 3rd party app to map to the controller. Wouldn’t be suprised just so they could get the bg names in.

I have seen a Youtuber playing in the non-livestream closed alpha that have said they were playing with an Xbox One controller on a PC (the youtuber was outside-xbox)

Spoilers: Yes you will be to just like BF4. If not, then I think did not do enough marketing for Xbox.

As long as there’s no aim assist, I have no issues with controllers being supported.

Should be, if they follow suite from battlefront. I just plugged in the xb1 controller and away I went, it had presets and everything. Nice thing on this: I play with the m/kb, unless flying, then I swap to the controller, move the sticks and it picks up the change…same when swapping back to m/kb
