You've obviously never played a FPS on a console before. So whats so skillfull about point and clicking?
The fact that the target moves about 3 times faster, while you yourself also moves 3 times faster. What's so skillful about moving the reticule slowly over someone who is basically crawling across the screen?
That only applies to Team Fortress (at least from what i've seen) And team fortress is on consoles too so that logic fails.
And having played Counter Strike and Halo 3 before, I can easily say they move about the same speed (I think counter strike is a little faster)
You saying stuff like this just backs up my point that you have never played a console FPS...
Yes... Unreal Tournament, Quake, Half-Life. They are no games at all, obviously. Why don't you try playing some true shooters then making those claims. Also, as Scoobes pointed out, consoles even need auto aim, which is kinda pathetic, but I uess necessary.
lol, all of those games made there ways to the Xbox through sequels.
Can you please name some games whose sequels are not showing up on one or both of the HD twins?
So you are saying I can directly blame the consoles for the fact the sequels of those game SUCK HORRIBLY. UT3? It ruined the UT franchise. Quake 4? Same. TF2? Is that even remotely playable on the consoles? Not a single sequel that has appeared on the consoles has been as good as their predecessors, they all suck. I blame consoles for ruining the quality of shooters. It's quite sad that in 2009 I have to play UT2004 and Half-Life 2 to get good multiplayer and singleplayer FPS experiences, don't you think?
Also I can't believe you can call Halo a good game. It's a piece of garbage. If in the future even our genetically modified selves walk slower than 90 year-olds then we are truly fucked.
Other game franchise that went dowhill after it went to consoles: Fallout. Play Fallout 2 then come back and tell me 3 is the bes thing to ever happen to gaming. It's good, it was just outdone 10 years earlier (minus graphics, yes).
You know what is THE saddest part about this? This concerns PCs as much as consoles. X-COM: UFO Defense, Deus Ex, and System Shock 2 STILL remain and are better than ALL games that have come out in the past 5 years, PC or console. Tha is VERY sad. Honestly, dont bash them until you play them. If you call them shit you have obviously neve touched them and just come out as an ignorant idiot, that or you just aren't into strategy, shooting, stealth, story, or any "hardcore" gaming.
Whats truly sad is your post in general.
Why do you think MLG''s biggest game is Halo 3? Why do you think so many of the pro's pick this game over others? The answer is because its such a dominate game, and takes way more skill than the average FPS.
Oh and you can get up to 300% speed in Halo 3.
And here's one just showing how awesome Halo is. (even with normal multiplayer modes its not so slow is it)
Are you shitting me? That was pro's on 300% speed? Poor guy couldn't even keep his reticule on people. God forbid they played a REAL shooter game. My clan used to play UT2004 on Insta-gib Turbo. Basically, you are allowed to use only spartan lasers and you move about 400-500% of Halo's speed, with double jumps which do not feel like anti-grav is on. I'll try to find you a video.
@ameratsu
Man youa re doign it wrong! Just dash at everyone with the dragon totoh energy sword thingamajig and whack them until desired results happen. Or snipe the peeps, or shoot them, or.... it's a game of many choices, you get the point.
Edit: Ok I couldnt find an instagib turbo but i found a random, but well done, compilation by a single guy. I don't know if he does MLG at all. None of the videos are made faster artificially btw, this is the actual speed. Also notice how he can actually keep his reticule on the peeps and knows how to lead:
Edit2: Forgot about the fact that some parts are actually done in slo-mo.
Edit3: THis movie is good too, though the shock rifle, lighting gun and rocket launcher are used waaaay too much and there is a bunch of slow downs and speed ups:
