I respectfully disagree. But that's your opinion, so no point in a counter argument.

There are hackers in every PC game sadly, the only draw back, but put me in a match of any FPS game, me on pc vs say 20 console gamers. They would just simply be canon fodder to me, it would feel like i was playing against bots..
and visa versa, put you on a console and you would be the same, you have to adjust to the slight changes with aim acceleration, aim assist, and hitscan (even though a lot of PC shooters have this too). It's not something that can just be adjusted to quickly if you've never played before.

But yeah if you're happy with continuing to pay crazy money for a half assed bug ridden multiplayer game that doesnt get much time to build a competitive community with the dead cert of a sequel being released within a year, Then continue to play games like COD and BF.
Which is one of the reasons they hardly ever make it to MLG. But you're comparing Apples to Oranges here. They weren't built to be competitive, they were built to be casual. Appeal to the masses.

What i find funny is, ill pay 13euro for the new CS and i will be playing it for the next couple of years, between the old 1.6 and source, they gave me over a decade of play. So they way i figure it is, ill be saving alot of money too.
not exactly a new CS, more of a reskin with some new content and some bug fixes. Or did they build it off a new engine?

10 years, BF is what around $60 on release? prob be around 8-10 different battlefield games released within that time. so thats like $600 vs $13
I see your point, but meh. I don't really mind giving money to developers to develop games I enjoy and pump unlimited hours into.

And Mysterion, i dont hate consoles, i hate FPS games on consoles. Its like using a steering wheel to play a beat em up. You can do alot more with a keyboard and mouse, you're basically handicapping yourself, so any chance i get i belittle fps console gamers in an effort to convert them to pc fps gaming..
I wouldn't quite stretch it that far.
I mean there is definitely a slight skill gap drop between a console and PC due to Aim acceleration, aim assist, among other things.
But I firmly believe that if you are good in shooters it doesn't matter which you play. I play BF3 on PC and Halo on Xbox and do fairly well on both. But like I said earlier, I had to adjust for a little bit to become good at both.
You might win a little more than you should, but still I don't find it to be that big of a difference.
