The excitement for Planetside 2 is killing me.

it did?
cant remember, to long ago

anyway when playing shadowrun i never really noticed a difference between pc/console gamers.

never played shadowrun. is it a fps?

portal 2 has crossplatform play as well, but it´s no shooter. (ps3 and windows)

[megamold]

its a magical fps if that makes sense
it had classes like for ex TF2 but the skills were based around magic.

for example healing was done by throwing down a magical tree that sprouted up and healed everyone under it.
it wasnt a bad game imho but it had some serious shortcomings and maybe a to strange take on the "normal" fps to be really succesfull.

it also didnt help that they used the crossplatform deal as a gimmick.

Yeah, they did a lot to balance the gameplay. It worked very well, problem is that PC players always bitched that it was unfair. To a certain extent they're right, but it's just a case of making things balanced in my opinion.

Personally, from a competitive standpoint, knowing a bunch of guys that play competitively on consoles and having played competitively on PC, I think the better console players are just as good as a very large amount of PC players. The mouse is undeniably a better tool for the job but it doesn't mean that good console players can't keep up, when stepping up into the good and very good PC player region though console starts to flounder, there's a glass ceiling that can't be overcome in consoles without aim assist.

This.

They can't keep up. I used to play Shadowrun before aim assist...there was no comparison between PC players and console players.

They simply could not compete.
