PC > Consoles for FPS and RTS...

Anyone who thinks Halo 2 is the best Online shooter is WAY off.  Consoles dont hold a candle to the PC for FPS and RTS games.

The consoles are better than PC for Sports and Fighting and Platforming Games.  

For RPGs, they are pretty even I would say.

You have to have a PC to get alot of the best games.  To add the most variety to your PC gaming, you should add some Wii if you like 1st party Nintendo games, or PS3 if you are a serious Console gamer.  The 360 is pretty meh if you have a good PC.

In your opinion.

Some people like sitting on a couch rather than sitting on a chair like me so yeah... I know it may sound strange to some, but that's the main reason for me liking them on consoles more. (not RTS though.)

Its all about preference. No one system's library is flat out better than another's.XaosII

I could sit on my couch with a controller, playing a pc game using TV out to connect my PC to my tv, it's not very tricky, if you wanted to play that way that is :P

IMO FPS's are to easy on PC ie. all u hafta do is point and click, so i prefur analog to mouse in fps. but RTS are deff. better on PC do to the fact that they cant find a control scheme that you can micromanage witha controller.OpticalCanine

I think command and conquer did it very well on consoles.

It's not quite as good, micro management level wise, as PC, but it's good.

Try playing Counter-strike / Battlefields / Unreal Tournements by "Just aiming over them and clicking" see how far ti gets you :roll: as apposed to Halo's 100% Pistol Accuracy at a mile distance and Spray machine gun that cannot go outside of the circle.

Controller FPS = You both Axis + Fire ... STrafe + Aim + Fire , PC is exactly the same as that, only alot smoother/faster and accurate.... theres no damn difference in diffuclty in the sense, Consoles get Auto-aim and Aim-assit PC doesnt.

What makes a game best? because I'm certain that the most fun experienced with an online shooter would go to Halo 2, therefore handing it the title of best online shooter...braydee1234

no, that's your opinion, not a certanty. I've played halo 2 and it's not my most enjoyable online shooter, does that mean I'm certain it's not the best online shooter?

I have played lots of Halo 2 on xbox and it IS fun.  I have had more fun playing Quake 2, HL, HL 2, CS, CSS, TFC online.

Also FEAR for the PC > Gears of War in my opinion, I have beat both, my brother has teh 360

I didn't say i didn't like it when i played it, just it's not my most enjoyable one.

Some types of sports games are just as good on a PC, but platforming, racing and fighting games make their homes on consoles.Wahoo2k

Pointing and clicking and moving the analog stick and pressing a button really aren't very different; the former just gives you more accuracy.

Wii has even worse functionality for FPS than dual analog controller.  Redsteel showed you how slow it is for you to turn.  And also, precision is being able to move to the target fast and stay on the target with zero movement.  Wiimote is lacking the zero movement.  They will need extreme crosshairs for any FPS for Wii.

With good thumb movement on an analog, you could do half as good as a mouse because you can always let go to achieve zero movement precision stops.

The same with AAs. And that's even without GS reviewing rFactor, Live for Speed S2 and NetKar PRO. Plus the upcoming First Racing 

will spank the racing sim competition like they were little kids ;)

what game is that? I'll get it if you let me know cause I love racing games :)

Also, I wouldn't count games like burnout out yet, one coming up soonish, I know it might have a stupid name, but we will see.

Also, gran tourismo and forza have not yet made an appearence yet.

edit: and i dont know what zero movement means.  "Staying on target" i assume, but that sounds like auto aim to me, and trust me, you dont need it.  You might be surprised at the accuracy you can get with a wiimote.

you're kidding right?

Then add free-look with the nun-chuck's tilt sensor and then analog is totally destroyed by the Wii-mote.

I think the same way, but PC's are really expensive specially now, im pretty sure im gonna pass on crysis i cant spend 2000-3000$ on a new pc :? i will just upgrade it enough to run Starcraft 2 smoothly.TanKLoveR

You've obviously never played CS or Battlefield. 

Dude, it comes down to personal opinion. Saying PC shooters are better than console ones is ignorant. If i prefer playing shooters on a console, which i do, then to me they are the better choice. I know right now that ill enjoy Half Life 2 on the 360 than i did on the PC. I just dont like playing games with shallow feeling controls.GazzaB

And I prefer playing fighters on PC, but this doesn't make PC better in fighting genre. Truth is that PC is better in FPS, it has better exclusicvve shooters and most of the time better versions of multiplatform FPSes.

QFT, Player of both, last generation the only 2 shooters I could tolerate on the Consoles though were Timesplitters and ... ah godamn mind block... -.-.

Anyway it is down to preference, the problem is, MICROSOFT is trying to bring them together, console fans dont want PC control games wehre accuracy means alot and speed, like PC fans dont want pray and spray aim assist. M$ is going down a bad road.

The PC version destoys the 360 version with mods.

Guess what?

 I just finished a short session of the original Half-Life for PC a few minutes ago. And you know where I was playing it from? My bed. That's right. I was lounging on my bed with a keyboard in my lap, a wireless mouse on a slick book at my side and my laptop hooked up to my 32 inch TV.

That's no excuse, buddy. And if you respond with the lame argument "I prefer actual controllers to keyboard/mouse", just know that you can play any PC game with a controller. 

There aren't many rational excuses for disliking PC gaming as a whole anymore. Great games. You can play on your TV while relaxing on your couch/bed. And you can use controllers. ;)
