“N: Can you use a PS2/XBox/(insert console controller) with ANY accuracy at all or are you as pants as Zak, one of our forum admins… and why?
S: Who’s Zak?
N: He’s one of the HEXUS forum admins, and he regularly moans about lack of decent controls for console FPSs.
S: Oh right… no, I’m as pants as he is then. I can’t use them either. HALO on the Xbox is the only FPS I’ve really played a lot of and that compensates in some ways for the fact you’re using a joypad. The problem is, all these controllers made for FPS games are all joypad or joystick based, which just doesn’t give the freedom of movement you need… I’m sure there’s a much better solution than keyboard and mouse just waiting to be invented, but as it hasn’t, keyboard and mouse is the best we’ve got… you just don’t get the same feel or control with a joypad.”
