How on earth do you tell that guy from a Aim Bot ?! On topic: ditto, the controls on PC are simply superior. The pure fact is you can't get a shooter on consoles without aim assistance, on pc you'd get your ass banned. | ||

Most players cannot do those defrag maps even if the game did the WASD part for you. Still, training a trickmap into muscle memory is quite a bit different than playing actual matches. The first involves building a routine, the latter one revolves around split second reactions. | ||

well you can't. just like you can't bring a women's basketball to a men's basketball game so it's easier to make your shots. and comparisons across consoles, games, genres? why not compare jai alai and lacrosse with golf and baseball? i feel like the only people who feel that they are "better gamers" are people who aren't that good at their own game and need something to brag about, like a street fighter player calling tekken a button masher. chances are, the street fighter player is mediocre and just wants to show off at something. if you're so good at q3 for pc, play q3 for pc instead of saying you'd kick ass on the DC if you had your pc controls. | ||

The success of consoles over PCs despite inferior input devices would be most analogous to, say, Starcraft 64 becoming more popular than Starcraft. Sure, they both probably require different skills to play well, but I think it's pretty clear what the more rewarding experience is. That's not to say the difference between consoles and PCs at large is as clear cut, but the difference is certainly there. PC gamers may sound a bit elitist when pointing out the gap but it's understandable why they would want to emphasize just how good the PC experience is by comparison. | ||

Remember starcraft for N64? Also needing two joysticks to control your shot instead the sweep of the mouse gives PC games a good edge in FPS shooting. | ||

Yeah, that certainly hasn't stopped a lot developers from trying, and failing horribly, to bring some kind of RTS experience (usually combined with an FPS or 3PS) to consoles. It doesn't even have to be as awesomely balanced and intricate as Starcraft, it just has to have good gameplay and intuitive controls to sell well on consoles, but not a single one has even come close. The control systems are just a giant clusterfuck and you spend more time sitting there struggling with the controller to do what it is you want to do than witnessing the result and forming strategies. Anyone played the Overlord games, or Brutal Legend on a console? Good fucking god...they're simple as hell AND their controls suck. You just don't get any more disasterous than that from a strategy standpoint. | ||

Its like someone going into a fight with a chainsaw while the other guy uses his bare fists. Why don't people think that console gamers that have had time with the PC would do just as well? I used to play counterstrike for a really long time, but I got bored of it. I didn't have an extremely expensive computer so I guess thats why I was never able to play competitively, you need 60 frames to really compete. And since I didn't have 1500 bucks to buy a great gaming computer...I bought a 360 instead. : D What on earth are you talking about? Basically any point past 1.3, you could build a decent CS computer for relatively cheap, especially considering smokes were banned until 1.6. I played with several people who had shit computers and 30~ fps in smokes on certain maps. | ||

This vaguely resembles my setup, except I've also got the game timer set to a huge transparent font (like, 50% of the vertical screen huge) and colourcoded health and armor counters. And my enemyskins are disgustingly pink and green. Many people use a tricked-out and simplified custom HUD for playing and a full-settings recording mode for well...recording. Since many Q3 players have their settings turned all the way down, blurred textures, brightskins enabled, often even shadows disabled, most videos wouldn't look like much if they didn't have some sort of video settings profile. This is pretty typical. | ||
