PC Gamers Crush Console Brethren

l_bratch writes "Since December 22nd DICE have been running a competition between each target platform of their latest Battlefield expansion — Bad Company 2: Vietnam. Players were required to complete a large number of 'team actions' in game, in order to unlock a hidden, remastered version of the Operation Hastings map from the original Battlefield: Vietnam. PC gamers have completed the task, whereas gamers on both console platforms are only about halfway there."

pc is some serious shit. pcers generally play with keyboard wasd and function keys and mouse, which requires greater coordination, attention, and dedication (tiring). therefore, they are more honed in their gaming 'skillZ' (tm) than people playing with consoles with easy to use, ergonomic designed controllers. moreover, the pc gamers play full spectrum of games with that keyboard and mouse, as opposed to console-friendly games made for or ported to consoles, further increasing their skills regarding coordination and gaming.

It sounds more like people who play on consoles likely also do other things, like have a life. That is why they bought a console to play games and didn't bother building their own high performance liquid helium cooled gamer PC. Meanwhile PCers spend all their time in their rooms (or parents basement) modding their PCs and playing games. If that is all you do with you life, then you will be good at it. Frankly, I'm not sure I'd be so proud about this achievement.
