I suck at Battlefield 2

[Warning: The following post will appear very strange to any non-gamers reading. Very strange, overwrought, melodramatic, geeky, whiney and pathetic.
Fellow gamers will merely find it whiney and pathetic.] So, as I was saying, I suck at Battlefield 2. Really suck. Really, really really succckkkk. We're talking veins popping out and slurping ( Read more... )

Even if you were born with a PS2 controller shoved up your ass, I still fail to see how in the hell a gamepad can replace a mouse/keyboard combo for an FPS. I don't think I'd be able to hit the broad side of a barn using a gamepad.
Heh, you have a point. It depends, though - in a very specific situation, sticks are actually a good thing. If someone is running at a relatively constant speed, relatively perpendicular to your line of fire and relatively (well ok, VERY) far away, you can actually move your stick to 'set' your gunsight to move just slightly faster than the guy you're aiming at, catch up with him, and back off a bit so that it's moving pretty much exactly the same speed he is. You can't do that very easily at all with a mouse.
Of course, this only helps you if you've got a bead on a guy out in the open, far away from you, and since any snipers worth their salt won't really need this nifty little gimmick it only helps if you've got a fairly accurate automatic weapon with a scope (assault rifle or SMG).
So in that ONE SINGLE situation, the stix are goood. Well, that and driving. I suck ass at driving and flying helicopters with a mouse. There's no force centering the mouse, so you tend to either swerve a lot or turn very slowly, depending on your control scheme.
By the way, how are you indenting? My indents aren't working.

Methinks you've forgotten about CounterStrike.
No I haven't. But I stopped playing CS for that reason (among others). I was in a few clans, though (one when I played Firearms, one when I played Day of Defeat and one when I played Tribes 2) and those were a ton and a half of fun. Even when you get your ass kicked you can enjoy watching your clanmates exact retribution. Muhahaha :)

One of these days you should re-install Quake 1. I'll be happy to refresh your memory. Hell, dig up Luz from whatever rock she's hiding under and she'll refresh both of our memories. deadgirl 4 lyfe, yo.
Good luck! I haven't heard from her in ages. That WOULD be fun, though.
Hell, I bet there are cell phones now that can run Quake 1 (and can probably go online as well)...

Because they're celebrities. Fucking Mork.
Hmm, that'd explain that one time I kept getting shot by this sniper on top of the minaret named "D3@7H 2 5/\/\00CH13" while he went "Take THAT you purple bastard!"
