The Battlefield Bad Company 2 Website has an update on the race to unlock the Operation Hastings map in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam. The fifth map in the military shooter sequel will unlock for each platform when 69 million team actions are performed, with resupply, revive, heal, spot, and repair each qualifying as actions. As of now, the PC is not only leading either console version, but has had more team actions than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 combined. As of right now, they show 60,673,916 PC actions compared with 31,759,276 on the Xbox 360 and 23,988,624 on the PS3.

i don't think anyone is knocking the skill required to play a console fps. much like i wouldn't knock your ability to drive a car with your feet on the steering wheel and your hands on the gas and brake. what i'm debating is why bother. the spectacle of being good with an analogue stick where it's horribly inferior and impracticle doesn't provide any shock value like driving a car with your feet. i understand for sports games, and platformers, but for fps, and rts it just makes no sense. there is no point to excersising the skill when 1, it's not tranferable in any way, and 2, it's pointless to be the best at a horribly useless skill that will at the sharp end of the spectrum allow you to compete against the worst players with a keyboard and mouse. the fps consoler's help dumb down the hobby by abondoning your choice, to receive instant gratification. you accept mediocrity because you're lazy. you use analog stick in fps, and strategy games because you're lazy, not because they're good in any way, but because they're full of simple shapes and colours. companies pander to this, and see how much easier it is with a consumer who doesn't want to think as long as they get the shiney objects they want, so the companies attempt to apply the same control schemes and logic to all areas of gaming. it's truly a waterfall of feces, and pc gamers are sitting in the pool savouring shower of love. it's no wonder pc gamers are sensitive to it, it's the main reason our hobby has been taken over and gang raped. lack of indipendent thought.
