Am I the only person playing shooters with 360 controller?

Nope, you're not. I sometimes like to use a controller.

I think a joypad is a lot more comfortable than mouse and keyboard. Just like I prefer my sofa over a chair.

I do use a controller since I'm not too used to KB+M. I don't play competitive shooters so its all good.

You are, I use my Ps3 Controller instead

Nope, you're not alone. I play some shooters with my gamepad when I just want to relax. The controls are more streamlined, and I get to lay back in my chair. For example, Bioshock.
If the game's a twitch shooter, though, then a gamepad isn't even an option.

Borderlands 2 is very comfortable to play with a xbox controller, plus it can be quite accurate.

I prefer to play with the best input device for whatever genre I feel like playing at that moment.

And thats mouse + keyboard for a shooter.

I played Socom 2 professionally tho, so i know how to play shooters with a controller.

there can only be one

I can pwn you on any game with my monitor being off

Come at me amateurcontrollerlover

" 'cuz I feel sort of boredom when I play too god at FPS, so I might need some handicap to return fun to my gameplay"

just wow.. so do you play any competitive shooters or just single player shooters? You might try a career as pro if you are so godlike with kb+m :)

@Topic: kb+m all the way.

Everyone has different tastes, I would never switch my sweet Logitech G500 for a controller. Also I am more of a strategy/RPG person, even though I have played Counter Strike for 10 years on semi-pro level. :)

But there are some games, for whose I would really like to get controller, for example Giana Sisters, which I am playing now, but sadly, do not have the buck to get it anytime soon.

From my experience on Battlefield on the PC, if you don't play cleverly, use cover, hide as much as possible, try to flank you enemy and reposition often, you will die. If you go out on the middle of the field you will instantly die. So you really need to be careful and be smart about your every move. It's much easier to run from cover to cover and crouch behind walls and then stand to shoot a few bullets and hide again with a keyboard.

When I look at my friend play Battlefield on the console, a lot of people just run around in plain sight and there's no real sense of danger. You just run straight for the objective and shoot the people you see. You don't really need to use cover and there's less strategy involved.

Only "casual" shooters. I´m playing Alan Wake with controller. But I´m having trouble xD

I use a gamepad whenever possible for a couple of reasons.

• I've been playing consoles regularly for over 20 years now, while my computer gaming experiences are much more limited. I'm simply far more experienced with a gamepad than I am with a keyboard. I will take a well mapped gamepad over fumbling with a keyboard for most of my actions. The analog stick for movement is also superior. I can accept the loss of a mouse for aiming, as games I play rarely require pixel perfect aim.
• My left hand has problems that somewhat limit use of it, mostly during colder months. The gamepad has most actions mapped within reach of my right hand, unlike my keyboard.

I would never choose a controller over mouse and keyboard. Controller is a terrible way to play and it's the reason I will most likely never buy PS4 or XBOX One.

I'm currently playing through FC3:BD with a controller, but I have to admit it's a huge pain in the arse when you're used to mouse+keyboard.

i play with a controller. and i play southpaw, 3edgy5u

its fine if it works for you, but theres no chance a controller will ever be better than a mouse and a keyboard for competitive multiplayer shooters.

if any company would mix pc and console servers for a shooter, console company would bankrupt, cuz all their customers would get completely raped.

I know its a bit off your topic, but thats my honest opinion when people talks about pc/console for shooters.

shooter + controller = hell

i grew up with shooters on the pc, i just hate them with controllers

If you can play using KBM (Keyboard + mouse), why bother using gamepad? (unless game is bad console port).

lol controllers

my controller is staying right next to me...I haven't used it for months O.O
