Alright guys, I ALWAYS have this argument with console gamers: Which is better? Console controller or Mouse/keyboard?!

for FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS. actually... for all kinda shooters, even the 3rd person types (like gears of war, mirror's edge etc...)

basically any game that requires or is heavily based on real-time "twitch" reactions (as opposed to turn based games).

i admit i'm not very informed of how GOOD the best FPS players are on xbox/ps3

but c'mon, i can't imagine them being anywhere as good as the best keyboard/mouse players.

i mean just the pinpoint accuracy of the mouse, and the ability to do crazy things like 180 or 360 or any kinda turns in a split second.

do you guys agree or disagree?

even the fact that you have a keyboard and you have a billion buttons around your movement hand, you can hotkey a billion things.

im trying to find some vids to show what i mean but it's late and my brain aint workin

but here's some shit im definitely sure someone with a fucking controller could never do.

note the amount of shots that are successful when both parties are in the air moving in different directions:

the spy videos, just note the way he can turn, and re-disguise (to a different class), bring up dead ringer, and switch weapons all in 1 second. that is not possible on a controller, i feel sorry for anyone who plays tf2 on xbox. (oh and those crit shots from his revolver are all head shots)

EDIT: how the FUCK do i make a poll? mods?
