For novice players maybe...its easier to point than use thumbs when you start playing FPS games at first.

Nevertheless, all I was saying is that control mechanism doesn't make COD, Orange box and Halo 3 dissapointing as games...just harder to control if you're used to wiimote. I personally would take xbox pad over wiimote for halo anyday as its tried and tested to be awesome.

I've played FPS games since they were invented on the PC and the best standard-controler set up for any console game is still amazingly clumsy; most FPS games make up for this by keeping as much of the action on a single plane, giving you very generous auto aim, and keeping action at a slow pace (to allow you to aim). From what I have seen, even very poor controlls on Wii first person shooters (like Red Steel) are far better than the best controlls that have ever been produced for a standard-controller.

Simply play a game like Metroid Prime 3 and once you've played through the robot city in the sky (which name escapes me at the moment) you will realize that you simply couldn't navigate the zip-lines if you were using a controller because you couldn't aim in time.

Well each game gets designed with console strenghts in mind. Wii mote is a strength for the wii so obviously level design will have great use of it...

I'm not arguing one game is better than another...just that you can't say a game is dissapointing because you don't like the cntrol scheme. Especially not games like Halo 3

I could say Metroid Prime 3 is dissapointing because it lacks the online aspect...but thats not what the games strenght is.

I wasn't great with controllers at first and FPS...actually thanks to metroid prime 1 I sucked in halo big time because I was used to holding down a button while aiming instead of using the second D-pad. But I practised and I am more than confortable with the D-pads now... Confortable enough to be able to enjoy a game for what it is, and not complain its dissapointing because I can't point and shoot.

You use analog sticks to move and aim! D-pads aren't used for those in FPS!
