i prefer dual analogue to k/m .. maybe i'm just more used to themakif22

Same. I think the KB/M is more precise but controller are more comfortable and fun to use.

It's really easy to use for me, obviously not as good as mouse/kb for precision with speed.

While it may not be as accurate as a mouse and keyboard, I've always preferred playing shooters on controllers.

[QUOTE="Vyse_The_Daring"][QUOTE="-Skyfall"]

DualShock 3 - Playable, but not the best for shooters (PC).

360 Controller - Good for shooters, and nothing else. Playing a fighting game on it = LOL

V_Isle

I had no idea that shooters and fighting games were the only genres.


Remember, this is the same guy that said "it's called 360 because when people see it they turn 360 and walk away".

Don't you mean 180, unless the person is doing the moon walk like somebody here had in their sig. lol

They are not bad. For most of the console FPS I play they work fine, but I still like using the KB/ M and Wiimote more.

I have no problem with dual analog for shooters. I like it better than KB/mouse because it feels more comfortable and intuitive.

Agreed, i really enjoyed the online in MoH, the controls are very responsive and giving headshots was faster

my personal preference is

1) KB/M

2) wiimote and nunchuck

3) dual analogue controller.

Its not the best, but its still enjoyable.

[QUOTE="wok7"]The analog controller is best for complex shooters like GRAW1/2 and CoD4, while KB/M is far better for simple shooters like Doom and hlVandalvideo
Thats a crock, especially when Tom Clancy games are a far cry from the complex tactical squad shooters they were on the PC.

That has nothing to do with the controller, and everything to do with the fact that the market for highly realistic simulations is shrinking. Look at the death of the military simulator market - back in the day, they had flight sims from every era, helicopter sims, submarine sims, even tank sims. Can you imagine trying to get a tank sim green-lit today?

All those are still here today.

Ive seen ship sims, sub sims, yes Tank sims, gunship sims ect. All still comming out.
You just have to pay attention to sim releases.

It has not 'died' though it has shrunk - one thing is for sure, its fanbase is still at large.

And to Wok7. GRAW on XBox a complex shooter :lol:

Just :lol:

The more ArmA I play the more laughable that statement it - that and the controller is better for them

They do their job, but they don't compare to Wii-mote, or Mouse and Keyboard.

Some console games are built very well for dual analog, while others really do suck. Halo 3 works well, but the dual analog really ruined PDZ for me, it needed more tightning. Constantly missing shoots because I have to aim with an analog stick is frustrating. I know it could have worked if it was as well balanced like in Halo 3.

The biggest offenders for me are games which are built for the PC clearly and ported over. FEAR on the X360 doesn't feel right because clearly its demanding something more accurate, Farcry games on the Xbox bothered me a bit as well.
