Someone give me a link saying,"FPS are better on the PC."

You can only go on an opinion.

But opinions are as good as the facts their based on. I happen to think superior visuals, better online, better input devices and user created content makes the genre better.

That's just me though, I'm funny that way. 

It is a fact though that when it comes to precision sniping in PC FPSs that it is much better.DA_B0MB

I hope FPS games start using bullet drop for sniping to make it harder.

Battlefield 2 has bullet-drop.  2142 also has bullet drop, but its less pronounced due to more futuristic weaponry.

Agreed. But what makes that a good thing. Could be bad, ya know? 

heres your proof.

 "Any self respecting gamer knows that the mouse and keyboard is an unbeatable combination for first person shooters. Controller freaks can defend their chosen weapon until they're blue in the thumbs, but to those of us who are comfortable with both methods of control, there is no arguing - mouse and keyboard wins every time."

Okay.

FPS are better on the PC
Teufelhuhn

LOL!

But, seriously, first-person shooters are better on PC because of the superior handling.  Thirs-erson shooters such as MGS, Gears, etc, would be better on a console because of the moving around and switching back and forth quickly between inventory items, etc.

I believe better online is on opinion. Define inpute devices. Maybe i'm just not understanding the statement. User created content does add to the genre. But the game is defined by what comes in the package.

And has Teuf has already mentioned, BF2 and BF2142.

I don't believe there's much room for opinion in online. Online on PC provides everything XBL has, and more, and it's free.

But input devices I mean KB/M. Which this topic has established are better tools.

And mods do add to the genre. Look at Counter Strike. They both alter existing content, and add new content. A game is not just defined by what's in the package, it's by what can be done with it. Oblivion comes with the Construction Set, so we obviously count that aspect.

Yea i know,

Just if you gonna have a game with a sniper that is one hit kill, make it hard to do, unlike halo and gears

It's called Red Orchestra: Ostfront. Every weapon has bullet drop. And you've got to lead targets substantially. It's gotten mixed reviews, and it takes a while to get into, but it's an amazing game with a lot of depth. And it's only 20 bucks or something. PC...check it out via Steam.

The whole perpose of this thread to let people see that saying FPS is better on the PC is an opinion and will never be a fact. Of course mods add to the genre and experience of a game, but most people don't have time for that. I enjoy having a console to play my FPS on just because i know people who own them. The community is why people play online games. My community lies in my friends. So i prefer consoles and controllers. Any way i hate mouse and keyboards. 

Alliance: The Silent War....is supposed to have revolutionary bullet drop where trajectary is calculated by the type of round, and bullets do less damage as they slow down....

trajectary is different for every type of round, and there are 215 different guns in the game....

there are so many guns in fact, that they have a filter syste just to choose one. 

Shadowrun had to be "dumbed down" on the PC so the competition between consoles and PC would be more "equal."

Sorry, I don't have a link.
foxhound_fox

What about it was 'dumbed down?' Graphics? Last time I checked there was a point in time where 360 was more powerful than any PC on the market, I fail to see how PCs are doing anything far beyond a console reach graphically, even with in light of Crysis. Controls? I don't see where the 'dumbed down'-ness comes into play as that is a personal preference. If KB/M is so much more "l33t" then you should have no problem busting console gamers heads with it when Shadowrun comes out, so it being 'dumbed down' is irrelevant to your superiority claims:P

"Opinions are as good as the facts their based on" You can spin that whichever way you want to, wether someone prefers KB/M over a gamepad is a preference and never a fact! Superior visuals can be played many ways to. Shadow of Colosus, Okami, Majora's Mask & Orcarina of Time for instance is said to have some of the best art of any game yet they were not the best their respective generation had to offer graphically.

Crysis destroys anything on the console market with 0 doubt. Take off your Fanboy glasses. Additionally, 360 was never more powerful than PCs. Never. Literally, the day it came out, it was stomped.Redfingers

How did this thread evolve into a graphics war? 

Seeing that you're in love with halo you've probably never played any of the superior FPS that are on PC. Halo is definitely the best FPS on all consoles, but IMO it doesn't stand up against UT04. Come on, I'm a 360 fanboy and I know PC FPS is 10x better than console FPS.

But consoles do have the splitscreen over PC's, that is one thing I like.

So basically you are so far in denial that you have ignored the very links you wanted stating FPS are better on the PC? There may not be any scientific studies done on this to illustrate it as fact, but I think we may have to disqualify your opinion since:

Any way i hate mouse and keyboards.

isaach11687

which was far from the in-depth and compelling answers most of the users reading your thread provided.

People don't have time for mods? If you don't have time for a mod then you don't have time for a game to begin with. I think you'll not find too many PC users who have tried out at least one good free mod and shared it with their friends in some good free online play :)

Again, that would be your opinion. It wouldn't be wrong, but it wouldn't be right. To someone, that game could be better then Halo, meaning the statement, "Halo is way better then Big Rigs" would not be a fact. I know it sounds ridculous, but it is true.
