Quake Wars is the most highly anticipated FPS's of 2007?  When did this happen?  I can think of at least 4 or 5 FPS's right off the top of my head that are more anticipated in 07 than Quack Wars.  LOL:lol:

What has this to do with the fact, that it still sucks to play a FPS game with a controller? Doesn't matter. Quake 4 is also on consoles and it sucks to play it with the controller. This is my own opinion however.

If this game happens to connect PC users with Xbox360 users over LIVE! you will learn to hate your controller sooner as you might think :).

Quake wars is one of the most anticipated shooters, it probably has somthing to do with the fact that RTCW's and ET's online were AMAZING (and still are) splash damage is my top FPS company to be honest.  And now the company has more financial backing, more time, and is looking ambitious with this one... but I would like to see what 4 or 5 FPS you are more excited about.

I'm not into quoting...

I havent played COD2 on a console so I cant say anything about that. but Enemy Territory is a very fast paced series, not like COD.

You did not just say this was the most anticipated FPS. STALKER and Crysis had way more hype.

i think this guy forgot about the USB ports on the front of the 360, and how surprisingly enough, you can use a USB mouse and Keyboard with said ports. (cuz im pretty sure i remember that getting added in the last dashboard update, if not, then its still coming)

DAMAGE CONTROL at it's finest! Quake Wars was on the must have exclusive pc game list on so many hermits posts this past year. I could literally pull dozens of links out of my butt from this forum where hermits listing this game as being one of the reasons to be a pc gamer. Oh well, I guess now it's Quack Wars. LOL.

I didn't think it would be exclusive for long. Wasn't positive on a PS3 version, but i guessed a 360 version was inevitable.

You forget that the game needs to support the keyboard and mouse in the first place. Without the support you can plug in whatever you want and it wont function. And until now I haven't seen an Xbox360  game support the KB/M.

Would be fun if it would actually support it. At least then they could combine the PC and Xbox360 platform. PC gamers don't want controller users with auto-aim running around on their server - for a fact, auto-aim is the worst form of cheating in PC gaming. Why should it all of a sudden be allowed or even endorsed if it happens that is.

yes you do, consoles FPSs have it built in. Halo has auto-aim for example.

Halo 2 has Aim-assist, not auto aim. There's a difference...and you can turn it off in just about every game. Only ones you can't turn it off in is Halo 2...but that's aim assist. And, yes, there is a difference. Crackdown and GTA3 have auto aim since you can automatically lock onto a guy...Halo 2 helps you keep the cursor on top of the guy when you have it on him but once you move a bit to the left, it comes off. Believe it or not, most FPS on the 360 and even on the Xbox had neither aim assist nor auto aim, and if it did have either, you could turn it off (which is what i did). :) Yes, i've played most of them.

Actually he/she would be surprised. We have Halo tourneys at my mall as well as Counterstrike tourneys. You wouldnt believe how good some ppl are when spectating them. I've seen footage of sick ppl like Fatal1ty play Quake 4 and Painkiller, but there are ppl just as sick at Halo 2 where I live. Yes, it's possible to be rediculously good with a controller. If you think otherwise, then you simply haven't met your match yet and/or havent seen a pro play Halo 2 with a controller.

edit- Believe me, I was a diehard pc gamer at one time (and still enjoy it).  I played Quake 3 for 3-4 years straight and in a clan (WASP).  I wouldn't touch anything but an fps game and I know skill when I see it.  You can take it for me that my jaw was on the floor when I spec'd some particular individuals at my mall with a controller and Halo 2.  It was enough to make me want the challenge and ever since, I've longed for better console shooters and now proud that we're getting Quake Wars as they'll probably use that for tourneys when it comes out alongside Halo 3.

Don't give me that "damage control" crap, I am mainly a console gamer & rarely ever even talk about PC games.  But the new Unreal game, STALKER & Crysis are much more anticipated games in 07 than QW.

16 player battles as compared to 64 on PC? Controller instead of KB/M? No mods? Watered-down graphics? The hermits have definitely been owned. :P

Check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2t38FLYZC0 and then try to do the same on a console. See how much luck will you have against KB/M :) This is trick jumping btw.

Now check the actuall action of a Team Deathmatch game on a PC and compare it to Halo action on the console. Se how fast it is compared. Good luck doing this with the controller:

i dont care how "pro" you are at halo2 on xbox, its a whole new level when your against somene with a KB/M, that "PRO" would look like a "Noob"

Okay forgive me then. You apparently mean what you say and I don't dispute you. All I was saying is that Quake Wars is/was actually highly anticipated to be an elite multiplayer game for 07. But I mistakened you for the hermits who claimed this as a game would own console shooters for this year.

To anyone who is suffering the delusion that controllers are superior or more fun than KB + M in terms of FPS: Get a grip on reality.nadirb1


"More fun" is an opinion and can be debated.  Some may prefer relaxing on their couch with a controller in their hand and may have friends that happen to use Xbox Live so for them the overall enjoyment may be a little higher on 360.  For others, there is no substituion for their KB+M.  I understand.

I just know for a fact that despite what some think here on the boards, in reality there are mighty sick ppl with a controller.  Now, there's plenty of complex maneuvering that simply can't be duplicated on the controller such as quick 180/360 frags and and superior strafe jumping, and etc.  But given the circumstance, there are ppl that just simply "own" the every living daylights out of casual controller users to the point of no return.  I wouldn't wanna go up against them, and if you think you could own the pros at Halo 2 with controller then I suggest you try to play them in "reality".  Then come back and talk.

Do yourself a favour and check the vids I posted some posts up. Those playing there are not "PRO" they are just good players. Granted it's Quake 3 and ET:QW is not so, and it's slower, but the advantage of a KB/M is obvious.
It was shown in the past with Q3 DC vs PC. There is just no point merging the two worlds together. If they allow auto-aim on PC servers, PC users will complain, if they don't console users wont have any fun playing the game agains PC users. It's a fact.

I will put it to you this way, I wouldn't want keyboard/mouse support for 360 because you know why?  Chances are...quite a few of these hermits that say that k/m owns a controller would feel their skill isn't quite up to par.  Not trying to say your any good or not (unless I've played you it would be impossible for me to judge anyone).  But I will say that I'm far more impressed with a controller user who can simulate a pro-level pc fps gamer.  If you were to give that person who's mastered a controller a mouse and keyboard then you as a hermit would definately have to "up your game".

Listen, I still enjoy pc shooters and I'm not trying to convince anyone otherwise its just lame to hear ppl say console shooters suck because of lack of mods and.k/m support.

It was shown in the past with Q3 DC vs PC. There is just no point merging the two worlds together. If they allow auto-aim on PC servers, PC users will complain, if they don't console users wont have any fun playing the game agains PC users. It's a fact.

Whether you want to believe it or not, 90% of the FPS on Xbox and the Xbox 360 don't have auto aim or aim assist, and if they have either, you can turn them off. That's what i do, i also put the sensitivity up as high as it can go...makes it easier and faster to aim. They are very different btw and should not be confused. Halo 2 uses aim assist...Crackdown and GTA3 use auto aim. People are better than you think with a controller (Me, for example :)). Granted, of course the KB/mouse has obvious advantages, like the guy above said; you can't do the 180/360 kills because you simply can't move that fast in most games (other than Unreal Championship 2, for anyone that has played that they know how fast top sensitivity is...it's insanely fast, which is what i had it at). You don't give credit where it's due. You should play someone who is actually good with a controller, very good (I'd play you), and then see what you think (because judging from your response, you don't play at all or just play with crap players).

[QUOTE="ColoradoKindBud"]Don't give me that "damage control" crap, I am mainly a console gamer & rarely ever even talk about PC games. But the new Unreal game, STALKER & Crysis are much more anticipated games in 07 than QW. -NintendoPower-


Okay forgive me then. You apparently mean what you say and I don't dispute you. All I was saying is that Quake Wars is/was actually highly anticipated to be an elite multiplayer game for 07. But I mistakened you for the hermits who claimed this as a game would own console shooters for this year.

That's cool.  Like I said, I don't follow PC gamers as much as console gamers so maybe PC'ers were hyping Quake Wars to the moon & I wouldn't have noticed.  But with my limited interest in PC gaming, STALKER, Unreal & Crysis seem to be getting a lot of hype right now.

I will put it to you this way, I wouldn't want keyboard/mouse support for 360 because you know why? Chances are...quite a few of these hermits that say that k/m owns a controller would feel their skill isn't quite up to par. Not trying to say your any good or not (unless I've played you it would be impossible for me to judge anyone). But I will say that I'm far more impressed with a controller user who can simulate a pro-level pc fps gamer. If you were to give that person who's mastered a controller a mouse and keyboard then you as a hermit would definately have to "up your game".

Listen, I still enjoy pc shooters and I'm not trying to convince anyone otherwise its just lame to hear ppl say console shooters suck because of lack of mods and.k/m support.

Seriously now, how can a controller player with all due respect, simulate a PC player, that makes 680 degree turns within 1/3 of a second and kills players mid-air rockets then turns around in half a second and lunches 2 rockets for example. Don't cloud yourself - It's not possible to do this on the console.

Now honestly check the second video I posted above, and tell me trully if this is possible on the console (the movement, the action). And imagine this guy playing like this against a guy on the console with the controller. And tell me if this would make any sense, honestly.

I have respect for the PRO Halo players, who are the best of the best amongs their mids and can't be beat by anyone, but console world is not the same as PC world.

I bet a PC gamer would get easily driven over by a Halo pro if they would play it on a console. Same a console user would get stomped while playing on the PC. But when you mix those two worlds together, meaning a PC user with KB/M playing against a console user with a controller on the same server, the PC users is automatically in seriously big advantage no matter how you turn this.

This two worlds just don't mix together aslong as the consoles don't start to support the keyboard and mouse and it will be a waste of time and effort to bring them together in the first place.

yeah, but Shadorun is specifically designed for the Console.... Quake Wars wont be..... and I remember an article from IGN about Halo KB VS. Controller....guess who won...

+shadorun limited PC players greatly, in terms of precision in particular.

Ok? Also it all depends on the skill of the player. What the player feels more comfortable with he will be play better with.

I agree.  This is the point I was trying to bring up but just thinking of how to say it.  The PRO halo players are the best of the best amongst their mids.  That right there seems to be unthought of by quite a few ppl.  Just because someone who's insanely good at pc shooters...doesn't mean that they should think console gamers would pale in comarison.  Pound for pound I would say you have equal skilled gamers and given the circumstance (like i said before) there can be amazing feats performed with a controller. 

Obviously 680s are impossible with a controller, thus I leave this proportion out.  I would think that something as simple as replacing the right analogue stick with a trackball would do wonders for the 360.  This way we can get a near mouse experience as far as aiming goes.  That would put the PROS that much more on par with a M/K, and quite possibly give the average pc gamer a run for their money.

All in all, the same game will be fun on any platform given you have the time to master it and depending on your overall conditions/environment for it.  Would you agree?

OMG! Holy Crap! Inform the National Guard. :| Do i care what they did to Shadowrun? no. Also if they Make Quake Wars Cross-Platform... then you will see Skilled players on both sides. Just because someone is using a controller, doesnt make then less skilled than the other person using KB&M.

1. The ports are not even going to be developed by the guys doing the PC version, rather they are going to be handed off to 2 different companies. The X360 version is going to the company that made the Doom 3 expansion, the PS3 version is being handed off to guys who usually make BMX games, I don't get why console sheep are so happy about this setup.

2. The console versions can only do 16 player multiplayer, while the PC version can do 24, again why do console sheep think they are getting the long end of the stick with a greatly reduced multiplayer.

3. Because of #2 it's unlikely that you will be able to do the console vs pc thing with Quake Wars, I personally don't think that id would like to gimp KB/M controls to give console sheep a fair shake, unlike the Shadowrun guys

4. Contrary to popular console sheep belief Quake Wars is hardly the most hyped game for the PC at the moment.

Wait, PC is only 24 players? I play bigger games than that in tiny DoD:Source maps. I was expecting Quake Wars to be more like BF2, 64 players on a server.

That doesn't mean 24, it means they played a 24 person game. I beleive it is 64 in total.
