Hm...I don't think the mouse matters too terribly much...before getting myself a cheap optical with scrollwheel, I used an ancient trackball mouse without a scroll (think low-budget mouse from 1995, prepackaged with computer), and it worked fine. The controls are a bit tricky without the zoom readily availible, though, I think you'll need to learn to use another button for zoom.

As for the multiplayer...here's the cold truth...the multiplayer will be a big shock for those familiar with XBL. Mods, for one, are perfectly legal in PC, there are a few TKers running rampant, and the netcode in the HPC makes most games laggy and hangy. Speaking of which, playing multiplayer is suicide if you've got anything lower than DSL. Cause you'll either get brutally raped by other players as your connection times out, or you'll just be kicked from the server right off the bat for having such a high ping.
