Quake 3 on dreamcast you could play against pc users well pc users could join dreamcast servers and play against dreamcast users. you could use controller or keyboard and mouse on dreamcast, but i really have seen some controller players hanging with keyboard and mouse users. i used to use keyboard and mouse on dreamcast quake 3 but i ran across some controller players that werent easy kills, plus the 360/ps3 controllers much better for shooters than dreamcast controller. everyone keeps forgetting a mouse, you gotta worry about mouse going off the mouse pad plus to do spins you gotta pick up mouse and reposition it eventually. mouse is only better in ability to stick crosshair on enemy easier because you aiming with ur arm instead of thumb on a controller.
This is the reason we dont have cross compat PC and console shooters. Imagine these kind of people with mice playing Halo3 against someone with a controller ... the SR would just wreck everyone ... it would be rediculous. I guess, im looking for a reason how someone could explain how someone with a controller can have this speed and precision ... I dont think its physically possible to turn that fast on a controller anyway.

Yet i do fine against keyboard and mouse users with 360 controller playing pc fps? It's just people doing testing i guess suck at controllers. Try playing quakelive with a controller :) dreamcast players could play pc players in quake 3 arena, i seen dreamcast players on controller giving pc keyboard and mouse users a run for their money.
controller has some advantages over mouse like being able to spin in circles, to do this on mouse you will have to keep picking mouse up off the pad after running out of space. it's not hard to aim with a controller just strafe crosshair in general players direction and just move analog slightly as needed, dont totally just aim freelooking analog only, use strafeing to help you aim also.

There was some russian game released before wolfenstein 3d forgot name, but wasnt straight up first person shooters. Basically though every games generic/rip off doom and doom4 is about only original, since new wolfenstein isnt made by idsoftware, but by soldier fortune 1 & 2 dev's ravensoft.
