i ve playstation2 . when i try to play fps games it's usually the first and last time i play. cause u can not target man as on pc. it s fast and easy to rotate cursor on pc. but on consoles with a controller it s very very hard.

what do u think? maybe all the games on console must have auto aiming.(very clever auto aimings of course, sometimes they aim the man that is not a danger for you)

wish they ll make something big.a revolution maybe:)

well i don't tend to like FPS on Ps2 due to poor frame rates.

Some games on Ps2 you can use a USb Mouse and keyboard.

I personaly don't like Mouse and keyboard i find it hard to quardinate them to work in tandam. (but thats a down side of being dislesxic.)

Also Xbox you can use mouse and keyboard too.
Much prefer to use a controller and some games now have aiming help option but i will stick with the good 2 handed pad for the consoles as well as the 360

Well ... the COD2 footage made me first think that it was PC footage, becouse of the way the guy was moving. Until i noticed the "press (x) to pickup weapon" during the gameplay. Then i realised it was xbox360 footage for sure. In other words, i'm a keyboard/mouse player for my entire life but to give out such a impression that the guy was playing key/mouse when in reality he was using the controlller ... looks like all the raving about how good the xbox360's controller is from the reviewers seems to be true...

I'm pretty sure it will work cuz of the USB ports... Maybe they'll have a download or something on XBLive?

Controller used to be really diffucult for me when i swiched from pc. Just give it time, you'll actually come to love your controller a lot. Personally I love both and couldn't pick one.

I go both ways... with regards to mouse and keyboard (k & m) and controller. I have one controller that is my best FPS friend. But, the k & m are real quick for manuevering. I just hate it when the optical mouse goes nuts and all of a sudden I find myself staring into the sky. I know it wasn't me, I'm a professional (casual gamer).

They should for more advanced interfaces such as MMORPG's. BUT, still let you use the controller, and still keep it a vital part. I think having the controller as the main input is the most important part, but the keyboard could be for more advanced/secondary controls like chatting with your Guild/Clan, talking in big chat rooms etc

Just my preference :)
