Ha, a guy I know spent £2000 on a gaming laptop, just to play FPS games... with a 360 pad

Yeah, it was a 'friend'.

I don't have 2 grand to spend on a laptop.

And if I did, I'd do the sensible thing and spend it on hookers and blackjack.

And I don't have the room to play it like you normally would on a PC, on say a worktop surface.

Funny how people get upset when a mouse isn't used as the substitute for a gun though.

Not upset. It's just kinda silly.

Why use an inferior control system for a game when you have a better alternative? You will get much more enjoyment out of the game with a mouse / kbd combo.

Some games were made for controllers. FPS' aren't those games.

I dunno, it's just a matter of preference I think.

And Maccy, if you're after a contol pad for your laptop you can't go wrong with the xbox 360 pad.

You can get a wired one or a wireless one with a receiver.

There isn't a trigger button for shooting, I want to feel like I am playing a shooting game, not playing an interactive point-and-click. Although, they are great. I'm only semi-serious there (I like point-and-click) but my enjoyment of games is not solely determined of how it's perceived you should be playing, after all, in the case of the game that started this off - I'd only be playing against AI. And it doesn't affect the storytelling.

And yeah GP that's what I was thinking, plus I don't need to be eating the screen whilst playing anything.

Also, F1 2012 is out soon.

Well yeah obviously it's up to you how you play but you're doing it wrong

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's ok, I don't make a habit of playing shooters on a laptop anyway.

[GP]

Everyone knows the coolest people play World of Warcraft anyway.

This is true. I don't have the money to justify a subscription though.
