Well I played two MP games tonight, it's the first time I've played a FPS on a PC in about 8 years. The two games were laggy as hell and I had to quit. I can't adjust to the mouse and keyboard very well, might have to use my 360 pad

Nah I'm calling BS on this one. Gerard is spot on, the vast majority of games have one side winning by 200-300 or so tickets on average. This speaks to poor player balancing and to a lesser extent poor level design.
BF3 handles well, the vehicles respond well and the avatar movement and aim is decent, but let's not pretend it's the best BF in the series. It's a solid 3rd.

I haven't got a Naga. All I would suggest tho, is that you go as default as possible. It's done that way for a reason. Maybe have Knife and Grenade on ur mouse. Oh and maybe space bar the same as the down arrow for when in jets.
I use mouse for Knife & Teamspeak Push to talk button. I would not being trying to move my thumb around I'm trying to shoot people.
Thanks
It does take a lot of enjoyment from the game as well (obviously this is my PC's fault now, not the game!
) especially on the maps where it is the worst i.e. B2k maps, metro (surprisingly), seine and caspian plus a couple of the others.Want to upgrade my GPU but the prices are still way to dear for my liking (especially some of the older cards i.e. 6950 2GB and 560TI 2GB) and I don't game anywhere as much as I use to so can't justify the cost for the likes of the 7950, 570, 660, 670 etc.
and the games that I do play, run just fine on my 4850. Plus I want to get something that is a bit more future proof i.e. a 2GB card, either 7xxx AMD card or nvidia 560 TI (if they ever come down in price)Same, no idea, how people go so high with the FOV, although I find 80 to be acceptable (for 1080), play at 78 myself, iirc westie also uses 78 as well now, as his bum chum punchruelle uses that setting

Dont give up, in a few weeks you will wonder why and how you could have ever used a pad before

I dont know if you have tried it yet but you can lower the tesselation in the driver control panel, i used to set mine to 2x with my 5870.
Yeah, don't give up andybtsn!
I was exactly the same- came back to pc gaming and it felt weird so i bought a 360 pad- got slaughtered every game. It just can't compete with mouse/keyboard (imo)
The kb/mouse felt natural after a week or so.

Nope, again, it speaks of poor server selection.
As stated previously, players have access to the same weapons, resources and locations (Except bases)
As long as you're picking a server with equal tickets and auto balancing this will never happen.
in the last few weeks I would say about 2/10 games end with a difference of 200+ tickets. That figure is more than acceptable to me.
If you and your team aren't very good player then don't play. Can't just blame the game.

I pick servers with autobalancing and it does nothing of the sort. You're delusional.
Well evidently you're not.
I am speaking from experience. My experience. You can't tell me that I'm wrong.
HOW ON EARTH CAN IT BE THE GAMES FAULT THAT ONE TEAM BEATS THE OTHER?
It just makes no sense.

Maybe to you it doesn't, but that doesn't mean that's not the reality of the situation rather just a problem with your perception, or lack of.
Level design plays a key part, even the height map alone contributes towards favourable conditions toward one team in particular. Metro is nearly always won by the Russian side for example. If you cannot admit that, that is a problem with your ability to see it.
You are aware that most of the conquest maps are in fact based on the rush versions of the map, right?
Is it only me that couldn't give a monkeys of the team I'm on wins or not, landslide or no landslide? We are afterall talking about public servers, nothing is at stake here apart from your W/L ratio. If I am on a team getting severly base raped then I will usually just switch to engineer and send EOD bots out for the lols, whilst wating for the round to end and having another go on the next round. I personally attach no real purpose to "winning the round".
It's impossible to argue with idiots. Enjoy crying over the game, I'll enjoy playing it xxx
Indeed it is and we've lowered ourselves to your level for long enough
MUST NOT RISE.....
