    And I thought the DOTA2 tourney was a big one, BF3 trying to show bigger is better maybe ? This will probably encourage stats whores

    Apparently only available to console players. Cause you know 32 vs 32 organised play is far too difficult.

    Games Devs prefer console community for one reason only, less work for them, easier to make hacks for games on pc and harder to tell the difference between a hacker and a really good player. As the players are just that much better than console dregs ;)

    Anyway, i can guarantee the people that win that money, will be from current/ex-PC playing communities ;)

    Anyway im not gettin BF3, why? cause its the same as BF2 and BF4 will be out soon after that comp im sure :P

    EDIT: Any news on bringing keyboard and mouse to consoles?
