I'll be checking it out now for sure.

NoSoup

I rented it -

I played it for a bit, but didn't really give it much of a chance.

My initial take on it -

Original? Definately...

"easy to pick up and play?" Definately not... the controls (at least initially) seem rather daunting...

Fun? Not really, but like I said, I didn't give it much of a chance. I'll get back to you when I play it a bit more

A stay far, far away from any FPS type game for consoles. That includes Halo, and will certainly include Halo 2.

I've gotta disagree with that. Halo on the box was amazing. Personally I can't wait for Halo 2 on the box. I wouldn't even dream of playing Halo on the PC...

HAHAHA.. Console Fanboys vs. PC Fanboys.. Gotta love the hate! ;p

Personally, I play both. However, I usually gravitate towards the console because it is easy to setup, play, and the controller is nice..

I have read all the arguements on both sides, and that is why I play both. Desert Combat mod would never have developed on a console, I know..

I do as well play both consoles and PC CD. FPS, sure they are much easier on a PC using a keyboard and mouse. Halo was good because really fast precise shooting was not really required. Now, UT2k4 on the other hand, I had hard times playing that on the XBOX.

Each has their pro's and con's. Get both!

Yep, I played FSW at work a few times now. Its amazing how many (attempted) returns we get from people that expected it to be a FPS. The only advice I can give is to try and research games before you buy them. Hell, rent them at least unless you know for sure what you're buying.

you know. I fucking love this. My dad doesn't play too many games either...but hes totally hooked on this one

Jadedfox

Ooops, with a name like that and quickly looking at the screenshots I was just assuming it was

I still say FPS games on consoles suck more than anything!
I mean, let's be honest here...if I was playing Halo with a mouse + keyboard against a person playing with a regular controller...who would win? I wouldn't even have to be particularily good at FPS games but I would still dominate.

Actually, that was a bad example if I understood you correctly. Halo is actually one of the few exceptions in the fact that its WAY better on console then on computer.
