How do you play a fps on a PC???

First you check to make sure that your PC can run it before going out and buying it. That answers all your complaints in that post.

It is so easy, all you have to do is take the controller and play.

His point is that, yes, there is no queation that an analog stick is not even close to as accurate as a mouse. But again, the game makers compensate for this.

Does it mean players wouldn't be competitive against players who uses K&M? I don't think so.

I know it is much slower to aim with a controller, but you can adjust that in the option menu.

They would be at a disadvantage. Case-in-point:

It's not just speed. Sticks lack the responsiveness necessary to turn on a dime whilst simultaneously maintaining pin-point accuracy.

Quite easily actually.

Howver if you want absolute precision M+KB is obviously better.

how do you do it??? seriously??? how do you play COD4, Halo 3, UT3 with an ANALOG STICK?????

or are you sane like us pc users and purchase a keyboard/mouse for your 360/ps3??

it's easy, you press the ON button, stick the disk in and shoot. no PC building, no graphics cards, no installation. also,you then wiggle the LEFT thumbstick in the directions you want to walk, and move the RIGHT thumbstick in the direction you want to look. surely it's not that hard to understand...? or do you want me to use pictures?

halo 3 is played correctly with a controller... its simple, game designers cater the game to the much higher rate of console vs pc gamers.. why do you think pin point accuracy of a mouse has anything to do with playing a first person shooter... do you think in real life people have that advantage when firing a weapon..

All it takes is for one part of a game to not agree with one hardware or software element in your rig to keep the entire thing from running. I know because I have a great Pc and things still won't work properly every once in awhile.

Hmmm...So these people in COD4 who are killing me with 1-3 shots easily are using K&M? I hate them. :cry:

How can you even see your PC screen from up there on your pedestal?aerman176

I've been using M/K combo since it was first introduced in around 1996 (Doom and games before that time period were all controlled via keyboard).

But yet, I enjoy games like Timesplitters, the controls work well and it dosen't suppress your enjoyment of the game.
