i PC game because of the mouse and keyboard.... so much better then controller in fps games which are my favorite games. basically anything with a gun and blood. i played cod3 on my ps2 and i was horibble. i played really slow paced which is boring. but i still love my ps2 ^^

i console game because of sports games.... and maybe for my 3 GTA games. but im getting GTA4 on PC since i dont own a 7th gen console yet.

id say i spent 33% of the time on console and the 66% on PC

 

As UT showed, it's perfectly possible to configure a game to run on a mse/kbrd setup on a console. the question is why have they not allowed this again? can you imagine R:fom or GEoW on a PC controller setup?

The tech is there, just the support is lacking for some reason.

I can in fact imagine GeoW with a PC setup.........because it came out on PC.  I played it on a friend's computer, but I used a 360 controller to play it.  Why?  Because the game was designed to be best used with a dual analog controller.

The same way I'll say GeoW is best with a 360 controller I'll say TF2 is best with a keyboard and mouse.  And if you don't understand why, you need to play it with a keyboard and mouse.

 

Dude, I don't doubt you or your opinion. In fact I 100% agree with you.

My argument was that since the PS3 version of UT that I mentioned came with keyboard/mouse support, why don't other games? it's infinately better IMO to play a shooter with that setup. A controller just don't cut the mustard for many games. If the support CAN be added, why don't they add it is all I'm trying to say. As for GEoW beingbetter on a controller, well opinions are meant to differ. Personally i think all shooters - tps or fps - should have keyboard/mouse support. it's just so much better.

The answer to your dilemma is in your text :P. Having a better setup as optional, there are no servers which seperate keyboard/mouse users from control pad users. So unfair advantage? that kid with his xbox controller is sure gonna get his ass handed to him by some amatuer keyboard/mouse user. How is that fair, i understand ur gripe and i support you. but the majority of console users who play shooters dont have money/space/dislike the keyboard and mouse setup but they will be at a disadvantage.

Might aswell gimp all players to the controller rather than have a mismatch of skill and people with better hardware/peripheral setups. Consoles are all about having a level playing field IMO. if u want customization setups etc thats what a pc is for.
