OK you PC guys, I just don't get why mouse/keyboard FPS is such a big deal.

Admittedly, I don't game much on my PC.  I only play the occasional Medal of Honor and the original Half-Life.  I was just playing some Half-Life right before I typed this and after my zillionth time falling off of a narrow cliff ledge, I thought I'd bring this up.  I understand why you love the accuracy of aiming with the mouse, but what I don't understand is how you tolerate using the keyboard for movement.  You are limited to a digital (not analog) input.  I like the precise movement that an analog stick gives me.  Using the keyboard feels like I might as well be using a D-pad.  It seems like you PC guys taking 2 steps forward and 2 steps back.  Increased firing accuracy at the expense of decreased movement accuracy.  What are some tips/tricks/pointers to get around this problem?

 

You have an extremely limited movement speed in FPS games so your argument makes no sense.  If you need to move a tiny amount, tap the button.   On the other hand, you can aim as quickly as you want to with a mouse -- you can turn 180 degrees and stop on a pixel if you want, something that is impossible by any measure in Halo 3.

I've not once ran into a situation where I wished movement was more precise in PC gaming.  But whenever I play any FPS game on my 360 precise aiming is simply not an option.  Why do you think halo 3 aims for you?

You come from console gaming, so you probably move to aim.  I see it all of the time even among halo players -- their fine aiming is based on movements rather than actually aiming.  If they're just slightly to the right of someone, they walk tot the left and shoot them rather than aiming to the left.  This is a very weak technique and it would never work against PC gamers who are dodging you with movements while aiming as quickly and accurately as they want.

 

this is a very good argument
