Heya,

I've been watching this guy called Bobbya1984's MW3 commentary play, which is probably on XBOX360, and he's getting a 20+ kill count and a less than 3 death count every stinking game. He does pretty much what I do (run, iron sight on cover spots, move fast and shoot etc.) and his aim isn't very good. But he's called a CODBeast by IGN. I'm just wondering how this is possible, because I play MW2 and pretty much everyone plays with equivalent skill as this guy. It seems like people die with 1-3 shots in MW3 while it takes about 3-7 shots for MW2. Maybe this is a skill difference between PC and console skill? I'm pretty sure that if I played on my PC with this Bobbya1984 guy that I could do around as well as he does. And I get killed most times around 5 deaths per game on PC. Are console players really that bad?

What? Why are you worrying about different players skill level over a variety of consoles, who cares. useless topic.

Doesn't he actually 'work' for IGN?

Well, to actually answer... yes, there is a huge difference between PC and Console CoD. Firstly, Console players tend to be much more laid back and, well, worse. Also, the nature of the XBOX controller makes it hard to aim quickly and precisely, whereas a mouse is very fast and accurate. And lastly, most PC players have a fast rig with good net, which means less lag.

and most console fps games have an aim assist...

This.

Also there are much more casuals on consoles, than on PC, just because it's mainstream.

and you dont have to know what parts to put into a console to be able to play all the current games...

yeah. it's just the easy way.

Heya,

some games make sense on a controller, fps doesn't. like those above me said: casuals + aim assist + inherently hard to aim thumbs-ticks + poor game configurability > high amounts of dead noobs

Both suck hard

MW3 is shit. No Commando perk, no Pain Killer, no Danger Close, no Harriers, killstreaks have been nerfed, no OMA perk and no Nuke that instantly wins the game for you.
