Ok, just got my new computer and an xbox 360.

Nice early chrimbo pressy :)

Well basically i keep getting killed a lot online and against the computer on gears of war!

Now its pretty much reverse on my pc with the keyboard/mouse, however i just cant seem to get to grasps with FPS on console. I suck ever so badly even on easy difficulty settings!

any tips on how to get better?
 
Have you tried inverting the analog sticks to see if that suits you?

If that doesn't help i guess it's a case of getting use to a different control method over time.
 
ive had my 360 for about 2 months now and i still suck at shooters lol

i seem to be ok until i get put under pressure then it all goes to crap lol

i always seem to be the first one to die when i play gow online :(

me too,, still its a laugh :D
 
My advice is to play the single player mode through to the end.

IMO COD2 (maybe 3) is the best FPS tutorial game you can buy. You simply play to the end and you will be compfortable with the controler. After that it is down to your ability in these games rather than skill with the controler.

I cant comment on GOW as a tutorial because
A) I haven't played it to the end yet
B) I am already very compfortable with the controler,

However it is always good to play a game through to the end to enable you to pick up the controles.
I stopped playing halo for a while (about 9 months) and could not play very well (I still cant) and I could not get used to the 360 controls. So online I sucked. I played through the single player and the controls were no longer the problem. Just my ability.
 
i've always used console and controls are second nature like with you with mouse and keyboard i suck with pc just takes practice and to learn the boundries and *** you can and cant do .
 
It's not you Joypads in general are just pants for fps games. Inmost cases you'll get better obviously but you'll always wish you were playing on a keyboard and mouse.
 
lets try not to start a mouse against joypad argument judgment day will soon enough arrive for the joypad v mous ebattle is decided when microoft sort the pc 360 online play with vista .
