as above joypad fr FPS doesnt make sense. no point in crippling yourself, just because everyone else is!

mouse and keys for FPS all the way. hell i dont even play any FPS's really (except BF2), but theres no way i could do it on a pad!
 
Stick with it, it gets a lot easier. I was hopeless with the pad after years of mouse and keyboard use in games. Now a pad is second nature to me and I'm owning people again online.
 
dont you feel when u play with mouse and keyboard you take away from the realism of a game i mean no one is pin point accurate with a gun. but with a mouse it makes it almost impossible not to get a head shot every time where as joypads give a more relistic movement to the game.

(stands against wall and puts blindfold on ready for the mouse using firing squad) :D

I agree.

They Joypad makes the game far more tactical too. If you are flanking the enemy you have to be certian you are going to get the kill before you fire and give your position away. In a M+KB game you would be running around with the sniper and pop, pop, 2 headshots, no problems.

cheers was waiting to be shot down in flames i know what you mean though its specially obvious on gow online the mount of times be killed even when flankin someone jus makes it a more intelligent based game. u dont see rambo type figures running down a street headshooting every enemy in site with a hand gun just insnt realistic.

Oh, I'm sure the flames will come, we are on a PC forum after all.

dude u must be *** UBER player if you can runa round on BF2 headshotting EVERYONE with a handgun and rifle?

remember in real life u aim a gun with your hands, you aim the reticle/target at the opponent and fire. this is more accurately simulated on a keyboard mouse than a pad, as the pad relies soley upon the THUMB for its aiming and movement!?

hand on house>thumb on stick
 
yeah i agree with you a mouse is more accurate and thats what i'm saying u dont need to think tactics because you got pin point accuracy which takes away from realism . thats where joypad is more realistic its not as accurate so you have to think more tactics to get yourself in a position to kill but not be killed . and to say that a mouse is very similar to firing a gun is stupid takes to hands and a shoulder to accuratley fire a gun .

i garuntee if you could set up some sort of sim where you oculd be a highly trained soldier ie sas delta i'm talking the best with a gun against a pc gamer with m+kb the gamer would win because its to accurate to be realistic .

but this is a flaw of the programming over the actual input method, if they made the reticle float more, or become less responsive then it would stop this "over accuracy" pretty quickly, whilst still placing the weapon under proper control?

You know something Nickg. I for one time only I wish KB/M worked with GOW. Cause I know for a fact I would wipe the floor with most KB/M players in that game..

good...
