How can you people play an FPS on a console?! I tried it twice and it was damn frustrating both times.... I must have spent way too long playing Unreal Tournament on the PC... I did!

[Creed of Heresy]

Easily; I do it without pretention. ;D

There's a few games I play on PC, though. Sims and RTSes mostly.

It's because it's a team-based game

And I don't like relying on randoms.

A really good chopper pilot can be damn near impossible to take out unless you have a squad with one guy using javelins, another guy using anti-air missiles and another guy with a recon kit using the SOFLAM. AA guy locks onto the chopper; either the chopper pilot ECMs or fires flares; either way, the SOFLAM locks on, the javelin fires, goodbye chopper.

What a great work of fiction. Too bad nothing like this would ever be produced by real players.

And I wouldn't say it plays like shit on the consoles; I have a 2.44 KDR on there and a score-per-minute average of 485. Plays just fine for me.

I can do well on games that play like shit, too. I'm not sure how that makes them not shit. I find BF to be clunky on console.

Not the game's fault if you don't have any friends

Like Napo said. ;D Besides, that's why I look for "mics only" servers.

I do it every time I play. You should see the hate-mail I get from butt-hurt chopper pilots on a daily basis for completely butt-raping them into irrelevance.

The biggest clunk I deal with is with the controller itself. There is nothing I hate more than the ridiculous substandard quality of the 360's controllers. Drop your controller once, JUST once? Right thumbstick will most likely be knocked off-center PERMANENTLY. Every fucking time I twitch the right thumbstick to the left, it won't reset properly to the center and will continue to "lean" unless I twitch it back into position. Not NORMALLY a problem, but god-DAMN it fucks me over during long-range snipe-fights sometimes.

Besides, my point was rather that it's not that the game is shit, it's just that you're shit at playing it. ;D *just kidding, you know I love you*

I don't know, Creed, I've had the same controller since 2007. Works like a dream. I often won't play with any other controller. Lol

That just means you've looked after it. Personally I find most controllers, regardless of system reach their use by date at some point. The one I use for CoD is the oldest controller I got, the left stick does that leaning thing creed was talking about where it doesn't reset into position. Basically spring is bust. And the rubber material has come off. But the right stick is perfect, no other controller gives me the same amount of control over my aim. I'm better with that than a mouse.

Lol, I don't take care of my electronics very well. This particular controller has stood the test of time. I have two that the battery contacts fell off in. Another that also drifts. But not mine. My controller is wonderfully flawless (except for my nail starting to scratch the rubber away on the left stick).

I believe you. I was referring to the randoms again.
