Lol. There's about as much truth in that comment as Kelly Brook holding a doctorate in particle physics.

WASD FTL.
You know its the truth, deep deep down inside you know it is.
I'm waiting for Conneh to sort out his ISP so we can return and bash out the UK CS scene! Haven't played a competative CS game since March 2009
EDIT: (I'm talking about 1.6 btw, not that load of tripe you call "source") :rasp:
Mouse & Keyboard to navigate Mac OS X = YES
Mouse & Keyboard for FPS = NO simply no.
I'm never ever ever going to agree. You're all wrong.
PC is clearly the best machine for gaming but for ease of use and price i'd always take a console, and my personal preference is for a controller. Thats purely what i base my extreme views on. I dont like change!
I say Controller you say tomato! What ev's!
If you get "the worlds greatest COD xbox player using a pad" vs "the worlds greatest COD PC player using his keyboard and mouse" who do you think would win?
The one using a mouse simply becasue it's easier to be better/more accurate.
FPS games are much easier on a PC with K&M and to keep up with the industry costs a fair bit of money.
To play with a pad and play well takes much more skill and is cheaper.
In Summary:
PC - Rich people who are crap at games so need to make them as easy as possible by using a mouse
Console - Skin-flint sheeps that have teh gaming skillz
I know who would win but that doesn't necessarily means its better.
I drove an F430 around a track and then drove a lotus elise, i know which one is far superior but it doesn't mean i enjoyed it more.
Its all personal opinion at the end of the day... and my opinion is never wrong. lulz

That's true, but the games being released are still getting better and better. Uncharted 3 in a few months, which will hopefully be even better than Uncharted 2 which was 2 years ago. Even though the console is 6 years old, the games are still pushing yet getting nowhere near the limits of the capabilities of either console.
LOl at sticks needing more skill. I'm gonna replace my steering wheel with handlebars tomorrow because I'm so good at driving I don't want it to be easy to control. PMSL. If you need the controls to be s**t on order to make the game challenging then that's a pretty poor state of affairs.
you probably would but tbh I don't care lol
How is a mouse more skilled? It's much more intuituve, which makes it easier. You just point it exactly where you want it and click the button. With a pad it's harder to get the pin point accuracy as it's easy to move it too far/past the point you're aiming at.
lol skill is the wrong word but you know what I'm trying to say, and to a certain extent you just agreed
I've not seen anything on PC thats made me think "oh s**t i wish my cheap console could reproduce that" yet, until the gaming PC's can do some radically different to the FPS gaming experience i just wont see the appeal, personally.
I'm fine with my un-upgradable system, for now.

Crysis 2 is a great looking game on the next gen consoles. It's like they've figured out how to do lighting effects perfectly. Graphically I don't think any console will ever be able to compete with a souped up PC, but games are definitely looking nicer as developers improve on the technology involved. Battlefield 3 also looks far better than Battlefield and Bad Company 2 etc.
Doesn't that show that pads are not as good?
A mouse is more skilled because not everyone has cat like reactions. You can be out aimed all day with a mouse by someone with better hand/eye co-ordination and reactions.
if you define good as making things easier then yes your right (which I agree with)
In saying that, I don't want a game to be easy. I like a challenge, although not as much as roy as I would imagine playing a racer with handle bars instead of wheel would be bit of a b**ch tbh.
but the same goes for a pad too with regards reactions....
You can be "out aimed all day" with a controller too, sniper matches on Halo for example showed that.
300% agreed.
I also agree but the fact is if you have better reactions than someone else it will also give you an advantage on a console. It isn't something exclusive to PC users.
I LOVED PC FPS.
Get about 10 people on Ventrilo and then just play hours of RTCW, ET, BF, CSS, DOD everything.
Massive community. I find it alot easier on the PC than on the XBOX but I'm getting more use to it. As people have said buying new hareware was a fuckin ballache. Especially when people in your clan are running 125fps and your running 40fps lol.

CS.cs ?
That's because most new PC games are neutered to make them work on your old tech Check out Eyefinity.
Another reason why PC gaming is great. The ability to use an external voice client that works extremely well in very good quality.

Well if they want to change my opinion they better pull their thumbs out and produce something that i think deserves all that extra cash.
I'm not gonna pay more than i have too, to play with a mouse & keyboard on a smaller screen with slightly better graphics that i won't notice too much anyway as i'm pwning too many fools!
Probably be next saturday. Then i'll be back there for like 4 months half way through May so plenty of time to play. Then i'll make sure my new house has decent internet when i move further south again.
Kris up for some mixes when i can? glaCe is up for it and i'm sure a few others will be.

I keep with times, hence why I no longer play it.
The biggest factor for me, besides the controls, is not the graphics per se. It's the immersion you get from peering into a very highly detailed scene on a monitor that fills your field of vision. You simply don't get that on the sofa, no matter how big your TV is. Shooters are first person. In other words played from your point of view. You need to be immersed in the world you're playing in, not sat on the sofa, detached from what's going on. Even a hundred inch screen at a normal distance from a sofa would not fill your filed of view like a proper monitor, and even if it did, you'd be peering into muddy 720p graphics, with screen tears and very little or no anti-aliasing.
Yes. One pays the price for the benefits that a proper PC setup offers (and yes there are also negatives) but then we all spend our money on what we like.
