but think about this: the keyboard (which i hate BTW but just for games)

too many buttons for a control so therefore console controllers are better (except for FPS games)

but think about this, PC's HAVE controllers, just as any console. many that look the same. AND adapters to make any console controller work on PC.

BUT, the controller adapters would not have been in existance in the first place, were it not for consoles. and the fact that those PC controllers would also not be in existance.

*goes back to previous statement*

PC Gaming is fun for solo or online play... but there is nothing... NOTHING like 16-player Halo in one household. Trying that with computers would be messy as hell. And yes, hell is messy.

Wireless network solves that problem:D

Thats true but then agian all a console is, is a PC nicely pagaged smaller and built for one reason to play games, where as computer have the customize and is good for lots of things.

They both have there ups and downs thats why I plan to buy most if not all the major consoles (ps3, xbox 2, and Mabey the N5 soo far my Game Cube was a waste of money) and still keep my computer up to date so I can beat it on the console and awe at it on the computer.

Now that i think about it. 16 Player halo in a household would be almost as messy. you still have wires to contend with (or just have a wireless network :-p)

please please please! lets forget that. Wish we could forget that game was ever made for PC.

one of the biggest dissapointments and flops of PC FPS in a while. (not the worst, but the biggest dissapointment because of the hype) That game was in NO way what PC FPS gamers wanted. even the pc game mags were rippin on it. It got outshined by 5 year old pc fps games.


And for the one who said nothign compares to a 16 player halo in same house. What are you smoking? Try a 32 player LAN in the same house, and yes, its not that messy, wireless networks and new PCs not whole lot bigger then the gamecube.
Then ontop of that, Try a couple hundred player LAN in a big building. aka, quakecon etc. not all playin the same game, but plenty to fill up each game played.
nothing compares? HA, thats smallstuff compared to PC partys.
