How do you guys put up with dual analog FPS'?? Have you EVER played on a PC?

The one persone who said 'good release' well the word release came out gurbled, the rest of the WORLD cut his throat for caring about this piece of crap...

So I downloaded the MP demo for this and I must say, it's pretty terrible.

I had relatively high hopes for this game when I first heard about it, mainly because I loved the desert combat mod for BF1942 way back when, and I have to say this game has some cool ideas. But alas it is very poorly executed, for some reason the aim feels very sensitive, it's almost like they made it for the PC, then ported the engine over to the 360 and completely forgot to optimize the aiming for a gamepad. This problem is especially notable at a distance where it is almost impossible to actually get someone in your crosshair, you almost ALWAYS over shoot.

Also the guns are all essentially the same thing, there isn't much that differentiates them and they all sound very weak when you fire. The idea of drones is cool but once again they are hampered by the horrid controls in the game. Also I like the fact that you can sprint, but you can sprint FOREVER, what's the point in having a separate sprint button if you can just use it endlessly?

Also the graphics are horrible and jaggy. I am playing on a 50' Panasonic Viera plasma and everything looks so jaggy and blurs together at a distance, it's actually tiring to look at. This also helps to make the already horrible aiming even worse, especially with things like airstrikes, I found myself wanting to air strike capture points, but I would just miss because everytime I would from a distance, I could never quite hit where I wanted to.

I'm hoping all these problems are just because it's a demo, and get fixed before release.

Not sure about the 360 version, but the PC beta can actually be quite fun at times. The support classes are, in my opinion, fairly well done, although the 'push'-type gameplay could use some refinement. The battles sometimes feel a little too scattered and unfocused.

OMFG, this demo reaffirms what I already suspected: This game has suck graphics, suck control and suck netcode. OMG, this game must go far far away and never return.

The SP demo was a mess, but this MP demo has put this game on my must buy list. I was a big fan of the PF games on the PC and this game is the best BF type game to hit a console (so far). Not sure why above posters were complaining about the graphics or controls. It looks 10 times better than BF:MC on the 360.
