FPS: PC vs. Console, which is better?

[xxmynameisjohnxx]

Depends on the game. CSS and Half Life and other similars I prefer on PC.
Halo, playing on a PC, just no. I've had em both on PC and. No.
I also didn't like COD4 on PC, I much preferred it on console.
I voted equal

Rockethog is no doubt better.



On a side note does anyone know if the Xbox Classics version of Halo on XBL has online Mulitplayer?

If not its another fail to chaulk up for MS.

It should be pretty obvious. Why would they want to take away from Halo 3?

Gotta go with console. First of all, everyone has the same platform to play it on for multiplayer, so there's not a discrepancy between players. Second, little to no modding in online console play, making it much fairer and more competitive. Third, just because many find it "easier" to play with keyboard & mouse, doesn't mean that's necessarily better. Pointing around the screen and clicking is not my idea of a "shooter." You might as well me playing a game where flies are all over the screen and you just click to swat them (sounds like a Wii game actually). Plus keyboard controls are not ideal IMO. As others said, keyboards are designed for typing.

I really dont care for FPS's for but PC* is the right answer, the * stands for all the cash you need to make them worth while.

mouse and keyboard provide precision on a level that dual shock will never be able to meet.

No chance in hell would counter strike work on console. There is a reason for this.

Actually the Xbox 1 version of CounterStrike was quite good, and the controls were spot on. The only problem was the lack of maps, the lack of a single player (I know that not traditional CS, but even if they add the mediocre Condition Zero it would have been more attractive) and lack of user additions to the dedicated server. But you can still easily find a CS Xbox game on LIVE.

The only reason Mouse and keyboard provided a higher level of precision before was games were ported sloppy to the console and they didn't really tweak the set up for gamepads. Of course a different delay, sensitivity and mapping has to be used, but generally are forgotten in straight ports. A properlly set up controller will have the same precision, right down to slight movements for sniping (Half Life 2 and COD4 are great examples of this, 360 version anyways)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

The Orange Box should have included CounterStrike: Source either in addition to or instead of Team Fortress 2.
