Poll: FPS: Which console?
- Thread starter Chiefmon
- Start date
It's all to do with how well I can connect online. With a game like the CoD series, I go for the PS3 versions, because of ease of connectivity.
I'm sorry, I have to say PC. Something just feels smoother simply clicking on what you want to die. I'm not bad-mouthing consoles, but it just feels more fluid and easier shooting whatever you want to shoot on a mouse than it does with a controller.
That said, if I had to pick one, I'd go with the 360. Why? Online's worked out and done well, lots of shooters to choose from and the controls are tight.

you can now get funky silicone pads that go on top of you analogue sticks =). my 360 owning friends agree that with them my controllers are better than theirs.Treblaine said:
oh and while it was slow to get started the PS3's online play lags only slightly behind that of the 360, and that's balanced by not having 10yr olds screaming curse words into your ears when you kill them in game.
360 hands down. It's controller is well suited for shooter controls and it has the best online community of all 3. PS3 takes second because of the free online play. Wii takes third because, even though I've never played a Wii shooter, I just don't think that the Wii would be good for a shooter.
Also, I would just like to say that everyone saying that 360 isn't as good because of the RRoD don't make any sense to me. I've played games like Gears 2 and Farcry 2 (you know, graphic intensive ones) on my 360 for like, 6 hours straight without my 360 even getting hot and I've never had a RRoD in all the around 4 years I've had it.
And finally, to everyone saying PC, for the love of god just pick a console, it's not that hard. I have nothing against PC's, obviously because I'm using one now, but it's really not that hard to just pick one of the options. I'm sure they left out PC for a reason.

Wii...
No wait, stay with me. Seriously, I can do this...
Yeah yeah, I'm a PC diehard. I have to stop myself from singing the PCs superior controls, and I hate to do the cheap, "Its not on the list, but I'm saying it anyways because I have strong opinions and am on the internet" thing. In fact, I hate to bring up the PC at all in this conversation, since you didn't mention it, likely for a reason. However, I play a good deal of shooters, exclusively on the PC. I am not short on shooters to play, and playing shooters on PC is part of my life. Playing a shooter on either X Box or PS3 would feel to me like a clunky, unresponsive mess that I could be playing on a PC, and have a much better experience. But then, I look over to my poor neglected Wii, and my copy of House of the Dead, which I have actually logged many hours on. The Wiis controls mean that a shooter on the Wii will actually be completely different from a shooter on any other console, PC included. So I would get far more enjoyment out of a Wii game, because it would give me variety, and even a mediocre but different game on the Wii will give me more fun for a short period of time then a great game where all I can think of is how much I would prefer a computers control scheme.
Yes. I'm pretty sure I just made a good argument to choose the Wii over its competitors. I know. I just BLEW YOUR MIND.

Well I know what you said about PC but it is still far superior to consoles in everyway possible but if it must be a console I'd have to say go with a 360 for FPS games.
Between those three, based simply off controls (because you cannot have form without function) it have to say the Xbox 360. Its triggers feel better in my hand than the other two.
P.S. If you want control, try using that mouse you have you hand on right now, you'd be amazed.

The only thing that concerns me about the PS3 controller is how do I know if it is running in pure USB mode? There is always a certain amount of input lag with blue-tooth connection and I'm not sure if it is just charging via USB or sending the data via there too.vallorn said:
