I think that some of you may not have the patience to handle the controls, from what I've played, the controls don't respond the same as other shooters, you feel a lot more heavy, it's hard to explain, Once you get the hang of it, it's brilliant, but it's not the same sort of twitch as, say, CoD.

 

If you ask me that's a good thing. Shooters should be slower on consoles because of the controller.

 

 I think you guys are getting confused between the game controls and the actual "feel" of your character.

In most shooters, you can walk around with a huge gun and still move at full speed and jump around with ease. In CoD1 (PC only), you can barely jump at all, and wielding a big gun will make you move alot slower.

As much as I like the CoD series, I like CoD1's overall feel much more. Your character feels heavier, abit slower. The guns have alot more recoil - shooting someone at a distance with an automatic is a challenge. You can't just hold down the trigger and hope to get a kill. When CoD2 came out, they threw recoil out the window. Because of that, the bolt-action rifles in CoD2/5 became really weak online.

From what I've heard, KZ2 does a really good job at making you feel the weight and feel of your character, which I really love! Compare to somethin like HL2 (I played it on PC) - when you're moving, the camera is completely still.....it makes you feel like you're kinda just rolling around on wheels. Even worse, look at the carbine in Resistance 2 - you see the gun shaking when you fire, yet there's absolutely no recoil and the screen doesn't move a single bit....it really doesn't give you the impression that you're firing a gun.

As for controls, the thing I notice the most when playing different FPS's on consoles is the sensitivity and whatever system the game uses for aiming - I'm playing Fallout 3 right now and the lack of ironsights feels kinda lame. While console controls are pretty bad for FPS, I really hope they don't make it way too easy to handle the recoil like all the new CoD games.
