I was a diehard PC gamer, especially shooters, and honed my skill with the likes of Doom, Quake, and ultimately Counterstrike (including cal competition) but I've had to move to consoles as of late simply because I find comfort knowing that the playing field is more even in terms of rendering, and that what I see on my screen with regards to foliage is what they see. Likewise, hacks for console FPS' are historically more difficult to create and maintain, in large part because of the closed nature of the console hardware.
Entirely single player games I still purchase for the PC, like Mass Effect 2, because mouse and keyboard is far superior as a control system. But in competitive games I much prefer the relative equality of consoles, knowing that TV size aside, we're much more even than someone playing on a brand new computer and someone playing on a two year old computer.
Back on topic, I absolutely love the 'armor' perks. It's nice to have a little bit of control beyond standard armor, to say.. hey, I want a bigger sensor range, or I want larger shells, or I want faster repair, or I want more health, etc. I wish they were able to do something about C4'ing a tank as it spawns (before someone gets in it) as it largely deters people from climbing in, for fear that someone has already mined it.
