RE: RE: [GD-Design] FPS console controls

[Jamie F. <ja...@qu...>]

I think we should be clear, though, that MP _isn't_ an FPS. It's a first
person action adventure, really. Yes, using that control method for a frag
session would be awful; but that's not the type of game it is.

Judging from the reactions from everyone I talk to who do both, Console FPS
controls are adequat(sp?) for playing against other entites bound by the
same control scheme. However I have noticed that people who only play FPS on
consoles regard themselves as ultimate when they whip everyone on XBox Live
or what have you, and those who play with a mouse and keyboard consider
themselves ultimate when they mop up in counterstrike. The few times I have
seen crossover where the same person plays extensivly with both schemes,
they say that the mouse and keyboard wins.

However I don't think this thread really meant to go into that debate (even
though I added to it).
From what I hear the Halo style is the best for a console, its just that a
good mousers will in fact mop the floor with the blood of a good console
player.
