    I'm grateful that Respawn published this game for the PC, mainly because the PC is being phased out.
    So you have NOT made the transition over to "the elite gamers" known as Xbox/PS4 kids(bunch of pre-madonnas).
    Why are you still here and how long have you been playing on PC.


    I am still here because I cannot play FPS's on Xbox. I do own a Xbox, but it is not the same as PC.

    My very first game was Medal of Honor Allied Assault and CS 1.6. After playing those two for a couple of years I moved onto Call of Duty 1 and competed a while in the old caleague. I was swooped up by WOW for a while, but finally came to my senses and stopped playing that crap!

    30+ years a PC gamer.

    As for this game. PC is secondary to console as such this game on PC wont see nearly as much success as it will on console. Design/GUI is more made more for the quick/easy console. Am I happy this game came to PC, sure, but I'm not happy with the match making and other console crap stuff in it. Just a heads up bud. Lots play on PC with gamepad. I agree I enjoy playing FPS with mouse/keyboard.

    My first games I really enjoyed were Space Invaders, Castle Wolfenstein, Beyond Castle Wolfenstein

    Very first game I ever played (or was available) was Pong.

    I don't pay to play and I never will. Ever. I'll give up gaming before I pay to play.

    First PC game I played was Rainbow Six. Had the Nintendo 64, and played a lot of Goldeneye, and I saw Rainbow Six and decided to try it. Then I learned it was on PC, and the rest is history. That had to be around 1998. But I had played console games since 1980's with the Intellivision System. Played a lot of Burger Time!
    One of the first "on-line" games I tried was "Red Baron". Had to buy a subscription.

    Just a big kid at heart I guess!!!!!!!!!!!!

    20 years! And "phasing out" probably means super powerful and unavailable to computer-illiterate people.

    Since sometime in the 90's. First couple of games were Wolfenstein 3d, and Descent. PC will never be "phased out", If anything its currently being "phased in" due to the x86 architecture being common across all platforms. I think this Gen of peasants is more likely than ever to acquire a fiefdom and ascend to PC gaming. Our current issue is that most of these new players play things like Dota and LoL. FPS games are being phased out. Have a gander at some figures. http://www.theverge.com/2013/10/30/...on-active-accounts-6-million-concurrent-users

    20+ years in PC gaming, recently off a 4 year vacation though. Marthific! DESCENT!!! that was the first "best" game i played!
    Of course, from beyond there.. PC gaming history was made.. Doom, doom II, unreal tournament (original)
    Don't forget about Unreal tournament 2k4, Still runs with about a million mods and maps... still active servers.. still fun when configuring bots.. Occasionally I'll still have a death match with Darth Vader, ET, all of the cartoon network characters, and with so many more because it just never gets old!
    ...Also... Just for the record, PC gaming has never been and will never be phased out. Come on.. who really things consoles will replace PC's? Does anyone who believes pc's will be phased out realize that todays consoles are basically pc's with propitiatory operating systems??

    played starsiege, tribes and such in the 90's, many games are easier to play on pc, or at least for me.

    Huh, that's interesting. I'm the opposite, I actually bought a PC very recently, and mostly because of Titanfall. I'm not fond of the direction consoles are going, and there's a lot more freedom in the PC world.
    This isn't my first PC, though; my first one was back in the days of Doom II and Duke Nukem 3D. Been a while, but so far I'm glad to be back.
