Awesome, one less reason for me to save up the money for a decent PC, and spend it on an XBox360 instead.

PC version, obviously. Unless you like inferior controls.

MS should release a poor man's Wiimote for the 360 to make RTS' more playable.

Or just use the BFME2 control scheme.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
This just sold someone I know a 360.

Port this into Wii so I can use Wiimote to play it.
Do it!
Do it!
RTS devlopers and publishers are watching BFME2 360 closely. If the control scheme turns out well (Which it has) and the game sells decently, expect the floodgates to be opened for RTS games on XBox 360.
Maybe EA will offer a stripped down version that is less action packed with inferior battles due to not being able to show as many characters onscreen due to lower resolution.

how were the RTS controls in BFME2, anyhow? I immensely prefer mouse-controlled RTS games, its one of the few genres that i think really should stay on the PC...

I've seen nothing but good word on it. Apparently you can make quick hotkey like bookmarks that spin out of the radial interface in the lower right hand corner. While it will never replace kb&m, it looks to be very usable.

360 version of BFME2 isn't out until middle of July. Demo should be out in a week or two on the Live marketplace. But all reports suggest the game controls great. Obviously not as nice as keyboard and mouse (With all the hotkeys you can do), but the 360 version works very, very well. Much better than any console RTS.

that definitely seems to make up for team grouping...i think the worst part about RTS on a gamepad is really just the analog stick not scrolling fast and precise enough to select which units you want -- did they figure out a way to make that better?

I could be wrong but it looks as if when you select a troop type, it autoselects all of that troop on the screen. If you want to micromanage you can, but otherwise it will make certain assumptions for you.
Anyone play this at E3 that can flesh this out for us?

EA blazing the way for innovative control!
Heh, for all the criticism EA gets they have brought some interesting control additions that are now considered "standard", Like TPC and the freestyle controls on NBA Live. They go a little right analog crazy at times, but hey, it works for the most part.

Oh hot damn BFMEII looks so awesome. I'm looking forward to getting back into RTSses.
(EA is up to some shadiness with this preorder mishmash though. I pre'd from them and get three multimaps off marketplace for free. Which means that, 100%, they are done at launch [unless of course I get them free whenever they come out]. That's obviously Microtran Worst Case Scenario.)

Hopefully we'll see them on PS3 to utilize the out of the box mouse/keyboard.

Hmmmm... I'm not sure that seeing the Xbox 360 being flooded with RTS ports of PC games over the next few years would be a very nice thing... still I'm not willing to upgrade my PC, so this news is definitely interesting. I just long for a game with a better story, better characters... and most of all, FMVs featuring Kane.

i'm anxious to see if theyve actually pulled off RTS on a gamepad.. im skeptical though.
It is not like BFME2 requires any precise clicking, the game has no strategy. Basically you build units and then send them to attack, base defence is all but useless in multiplayer. For example the game does not even acknowledge tactics such as flanking or horse charging from behind. C&C3 however is probably going to be much more complex, i highly doubt its controls are going to be as good as bfme2's.
