I see. That would have been kind of exciting IMO. It's one of the many reasons I'm psyched for what the Steam Box will be like.

PErsonally I have always been a console gamer and never enjoyed K+M but I know a ton of people do enjoy it.

I dont think it will ever happen just because a keyboard and mouse is far more accurate than a controller and would ruin console gaming for controller users. Dont most games these days come out for windows anyway?

I've used both and vastly prefer the M+K for any shooter (big surprise, I know). I saw that Titanfall for PC will have the option for both, and it will ship with controller aim assist for PC as well.

I would assume with most games being on microsoft and xbox simultaneously they will keep it seperate. I bet you could even plug your PC into your TV and rock the big screen!

Oh yeah, they'll be separate. But PC games don't ship with aim assist included. I've seen a few jokes made about not needing to find an aim-bot, it will be included :)

The Steam Machine looks super promising, and the controllers for it look pretty sweet.

Will never ruin it for me. I have played FPS on PC and I will always prefer consoles.

As do I, I meant that m+k being allowed on xbox fps would make controller users have a disadvantage

Far superior to the Joystick

That's what everyone says, I personally didn't like using keyboards. The only pc games I was ever into was stuff like command and conquer. Always did majority of games on couch w controller

Super annoying when you pop in call of duty, it requires update and sits at 98% fr 20 minutes. I just wanted to play a quick game

I have played on the joystick long enough that my joystick skills are better than 95% of the other people playing on them, which gives me an advantage and comfort level. I have been playing on consoles since the Atari.

Yes, I understand the precision that you get with the K/M, it just doesn't feel as natural to me.

What's more annoying is that it was so hard to find the map updates. It was so far hidden in the menus and wasn't available in the game.

Mine didn't even give a percentage. Just a black screen that said updating and showed no progress. After 5 minutes I finally gave up and did something else.

ps i fixed it. if u hold the power button on the xbox down for 10 or 20 seconds it does a hard reset. the next time you turn it on youll see a green splash screen u dont usually see and everything should work again. jumped right in and shot some people.

what is your gamertag anyway?

oh ok, i didnt download that. I am pretty satisfied with the original disc, dont know if ill mess with DLC. With how freefall is, you have to play a certain mode and I figure if I download the DLC itll be the same thing, I am stuck in certain modes or playing those maps only vs a wide variety?

I plan to get gamefly within the next few months and play lots of stuff (especially eyeballing need for speed) so the current content is likely more than enough for me.

I was looking for madcards gamertag :) I am pretty sure you are still on my friends, I think ive only been able to jump into a game with you once or twice over the years tho
