Oh OK. That doesn't really affect me :p

I see CS:GO is on PS3 as well, which is a bit odd. Anyone had experience with it?
Don't think these kinda shooters works well on console because of the controller

Apparently it's kak because of controller acceleration(?) and hasn't been updated since it's release.

Pretty much thought so yeah. Guess they shouldn't bother these with PC exclusives to console

You can cross platform play but KBM vs. Controller is a dead loss, unless you get a Official PS3 KB and Mouse combo.

Wow, was just thinking of getting into this. What PC specs are needed? How much is it on steam? (yes I'm new here, in that dept anyway)

Shot! I have an i7 with 8gig RAM laptop. Graphics is a Geforce GT 555M. Struggled to run Bf3 so I gave up on games after that, think I'll get this and see how it runs.

It will easily hit 60fps, I just lock mine to 65/70 otherwise my GPU heats up and my fan starts to speed up causing it to be noisy.
