My first shooters were on PC so that's where i started with competitive CS1.5, just before the 360 came out i was trying to get my first job, so without money to get new PC hardware and seeing a vision of the future where first person shooters would thrive on consoles, i decided to learn to use a pad on PS2 with games like Black and Urban Chaos: Riot Response, so i feel like when the 360 came along i was pretty good at shooters on pad. I used to find M+K so uncomfortable and still kinda do, but I don't miss a controller anywhere near as much as I miss good precision. I still prefer to play games with a controller when I can, but when it comes to shooters I'm leaning more and more into mouse and keyboard as the years go by. I saw some posters in a previous thread complaining about ammo problems in Wolfenstein and I have to wonder if they were playing with a controller, too. Many console shooters have struck a fine balance between assisting your aim and letting you feel like you're the precise one - Halo, Doom, and Call of Duty come to mind. After some research, it seems like the game turns off aim assist, or at least lowers it, on higher difficulties, which is fucking terrible for a shooter with a controller. So I switched to mouse and keyboard and the game felt like a cakewalk in comparison. I swear, I finished that game with no problems with a controller the first few times, but this time I felt like I couldn't hit anything.

I tried to play Wolfenstein: The New Order with a controller recently.

Less satisfying, but I don't have to fight the analog stick.

When I play GTA V with a controller, I usually use the game's lock on system.

Modern combat versus pc aim sucks
