The Computer Thread

Are you also aware that most FPS on console have a slight aim assist added into the game... if you're close enough to your target then the game will aim for you. Why implement such a feature if controllers are as accurate as mouses?

Microsoft had developed cross platform (Xbox - PC) networked play for either Halo or Halo 2 back in the day. It never saw the light of day because in testing the PC games curbstomped the console gamers. Every. Single., Time.

Also, here is my main PC. I built it a few years ago, but it still handles anything I throw at it. I gotta say, the Sentey case is pretty awesome. The HEPA filter screens keep the insides almost completely dust free. Not shown below, but it also has a 750w Corsair Bronze certified power supply.
