Ahhh right soprry i think you miss the point im making Simon ... A int comparing the players that use either ie one over the other. Not saying one has more or less skill than the other. What Im saying is that there is a bigger difference on them ... ie the poorer guys on keyboard will still be able to aim sonewhat cos the mouse is more precise ie the poorer player will still get head shots .. maybe not as regular or as quick of the mark as the more skilled player but can defo sometimes still get them in. Poorer players on a pad will struggle to hit the side of a house let alone a head shot !! this is massively upped when it comes to snipers MASSIVELY. what im saying is the pad will make a bigger margin of good to poor players than the mouse will if you know what i mean ?? I supsect if your a better player then it can make it more difficult on a mouse as the gap isnt as wide. But on pad the bridge between a poor player and good player will be greater and the better players will come out more on top. Basically what im saying is that on a pad I can boss lobbies lol !.....against other pad players obv.
does that make my point any clearer of have i just muddied the waters more ?!
Fair point delboy, but i will say i still disagree. My point is controllers are difficult for the skilled as well as the not so skilled players to the same degree that m&k is "easier" for all players.
But lets leave this here as i dont think either will change our minds, and lets be honest its a pretty boring conversation
for eg when i put my mrs on the mouse she was actually able to get hit markers (never any kills mind you!) but on a pad she cant ... not even close, its shocking really lol ! her excuse is that "the gun just moves all over the place ... i cant control it" I promise that is a true example and she has only ever played on consoles (never a pc) but she is not a gamer ... far far from it lol .... lol ... lol ... lol sorry i pictured the mrs trying to play !!
Its a good test to use as we are all now redundant as we all game and using either pad or mouse is like 2nd nature to us but everyones' (ok well most peoples mrs) are utter noobs who suddenly lose all dexterity as soon as the title screen loads up !

agree with that Simon ... basically what im saying is taht i prefer pads cos as a skilled decnt player it makes me look better. Without blowing my own trumpet iv always been a damn decent FPS player (it was my diet growing up ever since Doom/wolfenstein then moving onto goldeneye.
On a mouse I am good to very good... on a pad I can be a fookin demon ! the pad has a bigger displacement for skill levels and is why i prefer it .... If im better then i want it to show !
