I prefer Controller, mainly for simplicity. Plus I can play more comfortably whilst in bed.

Also, for mac KiDzzz

After getting into some PC games I now prefer mouse and keyboard over controller. Now I can get to one end of my screen almost instantly, which is something a controller will never be able to do.

Aim is half the game.


That is probably going a bit far. Knowledge is all you need. Play smart and you'll be fine. If you can't use a controller, or just don't like it then that is your personal preference but if you're playing Halo then that's what you'll be playing so, get used to it.

Playing with a controller is easy.

That's why PC shooters take infinitely more skill than console shooters. You're not restricted by the speed of your thumbstick, and there's no auto aim.

Public Counterstrike games> MLG 50 high
Then why is it way easier to play with a mouse?

Also, I don't see how speed is a factor (setting sensitivity to 10 makes it almost unplayable for me, although I'm adjusting) so much as having to move along an X axis and a Y axis.

You forget about Halo PC.

While a mouse is undoubtedly more precise, and much easier to aim with, I prefer the simplicity of a controller.

i do not understand this
sometimes i can't aim precisely
sometimes it even goes past their head
damn it why can't i do it like a mouse


I have it the other way around: I am so used to game with a controller, I can't aim anymore with a mouse...
(played MW2 multiplayer at a friends computer - in short: I suck with it..)

Dude controller is harder. I played on my brothers pc game and it is so easy to aim and all that.

I like to build buildings.

People who play on the PC have a quicker reaction time than the people who play on consoles.

M+KB > Joypads, Controllers, etc.

Here is a video of someone playing with a mouse and keyboard in Halo Reach, the product is called XIM3

Nope. Some PC games have auto aim (i.e. Halo PC). It's just not noticeable.

I find with a sensitivity lower than 3 I have to think too hard in order to avoid CQB situations. A dude can sky over your head so easily.

Getting embarrassed is not fun.

And I don't find it fun to always stay back. It's fun to be aggressive once in awhile.

I used to play on 2, now sometimes 4 or 5. Using the left joystick to aim is much easier than the right. Not to mention I can turn around faster now, put my head down as I run, and its just more exciting and intense to play with the screen moving faster.....keeps ur attention and focus high at all times imo.

Try playing Counter-Strike 1.6, you'll get headshotted in a 10th of a millisecond.
