Ide rather not have the RTS genre get dumbed and slowed down like halo did to FPSes. There is a reason that they are complex and difficult, it should lend to the fact they are called strategy games after all.

People that play PC RTS and FPS may think this, but those that play console RTS and FPS do not see them as dumbed down or slowed down at all.  Personally it is not a matter of "dumbing down" or "slowing down" the game, just a matter of adapting to different people's tastes.  To me, FPS gaming is much better suited on a console with a controller than on PC.  Sure you have higher sensitivities in PC with better aiming due to the huge DPI rating on gaming mice, but that doesn't mean it requires more skill to play on one platform than the other.  I know many PC gamers that are great at FPS but suck when it comes to console FPS.

Then there are people like me who do both, and I can attest that while they handle differently, I can play with the same amount of skill on both without any problem.  Heck, I use my Xbox 360 controller for PC FPS's every now and then and still perform equal to the others who are just using the keyboard and mouse.

The games are just as complex and difficult on whichever platform you play them on, to those respected platform users.
