A Battlefield contest without the PC version? That's like a Call of Duty contest without the Xbox 360 version. Madness!!!

Then the winner uses the $1.6 million to buy a PC so that he can play BF3 on it.

Duke nukem Forever is the lastest console game that proves you do not need aim assist/sticky aim for multiplayer because DNF ON PS3/360 HAS NONE GODDAMN IT.

Yeah, we get it, you don't like aim assist, you can stop quadruple posting now

Anyway, this is pretty cool, would've been fun to include PCs aswell, but ohwell.

If i turn off aim assist the other 23 people in the game will still be using it....that's nice and balanced. The only real balance is aim assist off. With everyone aim assist forced on like halo it's musical chairs.

I feel like that should be an example in the definition of irony. I thought MLG was mainly Xbox though, but I guess they're moving on towards more gamers.

Too bad you didn't think that joke through cause there's no cross platform play in these tournaments so pc gamers would be playing against other pc gamers.:roll:

Nice prize, altough the ammount isn't all that impressive considering it will be a long online tournament. League of Legends's prize pool for S2 is over three times as much.

No selling out, if you actually read the article you would know it's sponsored by Virgin Gaming which is console only. Mystery Solved

No one because they won't be ghost towns. To this day you can still find full 12 on 12 games in the PS3 version of BFBC2 and that came out how many months ago? Yeah, the console versions will last a long time.

I'm pretty sure MLG goes like this: Xbox has Halo PS3 has COD PC has Starcraft They try to spread the love so each system has a popular game for competition.

That must be why Call of Duty 4, a game from 2007 still has an active community on PS3 and Xbox right?

But I guess its not a bad thing when it just means console gamers are getting new games to play and not stuck with the same games as last year 8)

Actually it doesn't mean that, it means something completely different. PC gets many excellent games.

PC gamers were able to play in a 1,6 million dollar tournament from the alpha of a game which is still in development (Dota 2). PC players aren't able to play in the BF3 tournament to prevent another embarrassing experience to console players (do you remember the BC 2 map unlock? I do).
