Mouse and keyboard is great for precision, but the keyboard has some drawbacks, especially when you' re playing fast paced games with lots of buttons.(a.k.a. FPS) Four of your fingers need to constantly be on WASD or Up Down Left Right which leaves your other two fingers fairly inacessable.
I' ve played a fair amount of PC shooters, and while aiming is definately more accurate, I feel like my reaction time is slower with everything else. Console shooters have their disadvantages now, but it' s very possible that will release mouse/keyboard support for their console. Not to mention the Wii' s controller, which is still as-of-now, a very " weird" way to game.
Halo is a great game, you may not like it but you can´t argue that it is great.
Actually, I' m not sure the original Halo would do as well now as it did when the console launched.
Now, the stupid " no duh the graphics would suck" comments aside, I think one of the main reasons that Halo:CE was such a big hit on the Xbox is because there wasn' t anything else that really stood out. Halo 2, on the other hand, I think is a great game, they really stepped it up a notch with that one. So I guess I have to be thankful it sold as well as it did.
