    Controller? Why? That sounds awful.

    Why is it awful? Half-Life was also playable on console, so its not something out of the ordinary. Many play on handhelds too. And nobody has to play with a controller, if you don’t want to. What makes this awful?

      Just robs the fun right out of it. Quick action and sharp focus make it a fun game.

      When they put it on the console they dumbed it down, added aiming and lock, and even changed the levels to make them easier. It was much harder to do some of the moves with a controller.

      You can turn around or aim instantly with a mouse. Cant do it with a controller.

        You can have quick action and turn around with gamepad too, its called flick stick. And for gamepads with gyro there are possibilities too. I don’t mind playing single player FPS with a gamepad, sometimes prefer it. But off course this is not for everyone, that’s why its an option.
