Honestly, completely not possible on a controller. And btw, be glad most of these guys have move on from PC gaming because this is what the competition at CPL used to look like. Watching console Halo kings play is ... rather funny when comparing them to the twitch reflexes this guys had.... :P btw if anyone else has cool vids to back up their arguments feel free to post. I know we all love watching awesome players play !

I think its pretty obvious that KB+M destroys the controller in FPS games (for except maby Halo fanboys).

I still prefer gaming in general on my couch.

As much as I love and remember my old CS: Source days, I prefer gaming on my couch now. After playing Modern Warfare 2, it feels like console fps games have come pretty far. A little auto-aim goes a long way.

If you like auto aim why not just play on PC with Aimbot? To me auto aim or any sort of assist is cheating, simple as that.

There never was a debate. Controllers in fps can never be even close to keyboard + mouse.

I recently played through HL1, and I can say I did enjoy the aiming better with the mouse, but I felt silly whenever I had to platform in that game. Maybe I'll use a controller in my left hand and the mouse in my right.

Everyone has their opinions about KB&M or Controllers. I personally feel KB&M is way too easy, since you get laser targeting (an please don't even say KB&M is harder to do. ANYONE can get good at it in a weeks time). While with a controller, you have to actually time your shot (you know, like you would a REAL gun). Course, the only thing that drives me crazy about console FPS is that most of them have auto-aim. Thankfully, my favorite online shooter on a console doesn't have enough to notice it.

Can't wait to get flammed by PC "vets"...

You're forgetting that most PC games are dominated by players who are too skilled, this causes problems for me because I can't be arsed getting killed all the time. At least on console shooters, the worst player can kill the best player.. and that's what makes it fun. I prefer sitting on the couch and just fidgeting everywhere with a controller, they're more comfy, easier to use, there's absolutely nothing wrong with using a controller for FPS. You're a bit of a loser if you're going to moan about the accuracy.

Just to let you know i've played it with the KB n mouse before, I don't mind the mouse but the keyboard part annoys me. And I play using a xbox360 controller But I dont konw what auto aim you are referring to sir...you can switch dirctly from keyboard n mouse to controller playing crysis at anytime in the game, it's the same.

I'll give you a 3 months of playing Counter-Strike and then try playing against good players. You'll still get owned.

Sure you can get USED to it in a few weeks, but it takes a lot more time and skill to master than controllers.

It's scary how quickly and accurately one can aim with KB&M controls. I'd probably PWN in MW if I didn't mess around so much. I can't help but to hunt down those enemy copters like a dog until they're burning craters in the ground even if it means I die 3 or 4 times in the process.

I've played Crysis and I just can't imagine shooting with the controller. Just seems beyond aweful to me.

It's all about preference. Going from a Playstation controller to playing my first PC game was disorienting in the beginning. Heck, I used to press the arrow keys because I didn't know about the WASD movement :lol:. But now, there's not much of a difference between KB/M and a controller. A controller has ease of access, and KB/M had more breathing room to map out a wide selection of button commands. As for precision aiming, I can adapt to either, don't have any real favorites on this one.

I prefer the analog for moving over WASD and shoulders for strifing, pressure sensitive buttons are nice for gernades and such as well. Now the mouse is no doubt faster and more efficiant for looking and aiming. The amount of buttons can be considered good and bad for games but some really need a ton of them for best results. To me it is really a mixed bag, they each excel in a different area. The Wii you would think would be the best of both worlds but has not been focused on hard enough to make it happen yet.

Yeah, that has to be the most silly post I've seen in a long time. Also Yamato, you may want to explain how complete amateurs get to kill dozens of people in real life if the actual firing of a gun is that difficult.

Actually, if these amateurs were trained with a gun, they could possibly kill 3-4 times the number or people.

in a way, he is right... the kb&m is easier than controller...in a sense like being in tip top physical shape makes it easier to participate in sports/athletic activities, but at the same time, the level of competition and skill thoroughly rises when every one is in top shape especially with particular games such as counter strike 1.6

Naturally, but that's besides the point. If you were to give an amateur a controller-like shooting style without any Aim-assist do you honestly expect them to kill even a single person?

I was playing L4D on my laptop with some friends and decided to use the controller. I did about the same as I did with a mouse/keyboard. I also consistently got the most headshots... and my friends were all using Mako Death Adders and such.

There is no debate, only fanboys who refuse to recognise the right tool for the job because they have no choice in the matter.

When I play a shooter I use a mouse and keyboard, when I play a game like Devil May Cry I use a game pad. I have a choice so I don't dispute what's good for what, console gamers are stuck with just a game pad most of the time; so some of them rationalize it is good for everything.

KB+M is much better than a control pad for FPS games. SEGA Dreamcast fanboys found that out during the time Quake3 was released on DC when PC players could play against there fellow DC players and rape them very badly indeed. It was that bad for the DC players that the game was patched so PC gamers could not play against the consolites......
