Title: How to aim with a PS3 controller (PSN is Ratpatrol_SC)
Post by: RATPATROL on September 25, 2010, 12:56:36 pm
Yeah,,, that's it exactly,,,  I have finally gotten the PS3, purchased the Battlefield BC2 Deluxe (As suggested), but I have been using the wii remote for so long I totally STANK at using the PS3 controller....  I mean, I have been playing the story mode to try to get used to using the controller and I just stand there while some guys is shooting me and I'm trying to aim up, down, left, right, etc. etc. etc... just to get a shot of him....   

Is is just going to take time or what???  Any tips on aiming???  Anyone??? Anyone??? Bueller,,, Bueller,,,, Anyone, Bueller???

lol

yeah getting used to it takes time, thats all. really you just need to let your thumbs become sensitive to the analogs. the only thing i'll suggest now is to start off at a lower sensitivity on the options menu. get used to that and slowly increase it as it will be useful for online play.

as for aiming, youre just going to have to try and get used to it. yes its faaaaaaaar less intuitive but soon everything will be move compatible and you'll be makin' like its the wii again. oh and on PS3, aim at what you see. the exception is bc2. physics DOES have an effect on bullets. aim above their head to get headshots as bullets drop. its all controlled though and not like wii lag.

ya man i had the same problem switching back to analog it just takes time/practice and eventually you will be able to aim really well. My tip is to start on a low sensitivity and gradually move it up. Also never just hold the fire button down on battlefield always shoot in burst. Give it a week O0

Odds are that while you were standing there fumbling around to get aim on, you STILL got more kills that I did, even now.  :-[

HAHAHAHA... PSN?

well they could add a patch to the game to make it compatible. there are several games in development that will also use the move but these older games can also be retrofitted. im not sure they'll patch bc2 but the option is there

it just takes a week or two to get it back man. you'll be a killing machine in no time. also, when you do go online, remember that the game puts you in a server based on your rank. if you join games w/ us you'll be up against higher ranking people and you'll get pwned at first. try joining matches then inviting us if you can. that way you'll be playing against lower ranks and you won't get beat up as much.  ;)

and like red said, fire in bursts if your gonna use a machine gun. full auto will just spray all over the place.

I would just stick w/ either the assault or medic class at first if I were you. those two classes allow you to rack up a lot of points fast by using the med packs and ammo packs (which you'll have to unlock first).

just squad up w/ someone from here to learn the basics then start grinding points to unlock those packs and you'll be ranked up soon.

It takes about a week or so to get used to it all.  Then from there you're just getting better.

Once you get better analog is second nature.  I picked up a Wii Remote at my friends house and it didn't feel right.  I'm drifting away.

Hey Rat,
This won't make you feel any better, but after two months I still feel like a complete tool trying to fumble with these controllers. :)

I tried the campaign thing too and thought I was at least competant with the controllers. When you get into a public match then you learn just how far behind the curve you really are. I tried running as a assault, engineer and medic with no luck. I could only kill those who didn't see me first.

Good luck man. I really hope the Move system will be available for this game eventually but I'm not expecting that it will.
