Gaming with a keyboard and mouse isnt that great

Ok then what about rocket jumps in Q3, back in the day? You had to turn 180', aim, fire, and turn 180' back whilst switching to your weapon of choice *cough*rail, all in the blink of an eye.

Do that on your rubber willy pad.
 
Obvious troll is getting more obvious.

You said yourself that you're not saying that Pad gives you more control than K+M. You've destroyed your own argument.
 
Coming from a lad whos was 48th in the world on WAW on console and a joypad and mouse in the early Q3A pc days

A M+KB will ALWAYS be more accurate and ALWAYS be easier to move.

No arguements will prove otherwise.

If Xbox were to bring KB + M usage onto consoles the KB+M would almost always win if they had the skill with them, there is only a cetain level you can get to on a joypad.
 
Right hand for mouse i.e. Rat or whatever.

Left hand for Razer Nostromo or similar

Keyboard for show...;)

Try it out, Razer Nostromo, took a while for me to get around it, but now its my mini keyboard, has everything and its more comfortable. Don't really use my KB now, well I had to type this of course:D

Never said the analogue stick gives you more control, is said more than adequate control. The other stuff though does offer more control.

Cant see why that cant be done on a pad, probably be easier too :p

Right there.

Either you are saying that it gives you more control and you won't admit it.
Or
You believe Mouse gives you more control and your argument is invalid.
Or
You think they both give the same amount of control and you're crazy.

Your attitude is incredibly childish also with the 'handbags' mention and your not being clear on what you're point is and what you have against K+M other than some stupid 1 liners where you don't actually mention the problem but just describe a scenario where you find it hard to use one.

That is why you're a troll.

Well it's basically exploiting a glitch :/ No way did the game devs intend that.

How is it a glitch?

What's happening is you're firing a rocket at the wall, while strafing into it (holding W), then when your soldier is coming away from the wall due to the explosion impact, you tap D to strafe back into it. It's not a glitch. It's very precise control of the air-strafing mechanics Valve put into the game. All it is is strafing after being hit by a rocket.

A glitch is something unintended. The air control in this game (meaning you can turn freely while in mid air) is most certainly intended.
 
Mouse is always going to be more accurate, because the upper limit on movement is much higher than on a pad.

Want to spin 180? On a pad you push the stick all the way to the side until it stops, and when you finish the turn, you let go. How fast you get there depends on the sensitivity. If you boost the sens, you lose fine control.

With a mouse, you just move it until you get there. If you have lowish sens, you move your arm in a wide sweep. If you have high sens, you flick your wrist, and then you have 5 or more points of contact with your aim to compensate for the additional speed during fine aim.

On top of that, there's always tension in the stick and thumb when aiming with a stick, which will never be faster or more accurate than the smoothness of a mouse. With a pad you're always compensating; either high speed/lower accuracy or low speed/higher accuracy. With a mouse you can have it any way you wish.

For any example, if you have access to MLG VODs, there was a discussion during the last MLG that had Halo about who on the team goes where and picks up what weapons, based on their sensitivity. The low sens guys would always be required to pick up the sniper rifles, and the high sens guys on the one map (Two facing bases with a high arching rock running between them) would always be the player to be checking the high ground, because it wasn't feasible for the low sens. Controllers inhibit control so much that strategy is affected.
 
Its times like these i want someone to actually end this once and for all and put the best players from the pc and xbox againest eachother in say cod and see who wins!

Wow handbags

I didnt state either, i just said i prefer using a pad for various reasons.

The only childish thing here is you labelling people trolls, for sharing an opinion. Ive given my reasons why i prefer a pad over k&m.
